    MLG wheel bearings

    quote from the job guide on new bearings

    TO 1C-130H-2-32JG-40-1 section 2-2-4

    New wheel bearings are delivered pre-packed, ready

    to be installed. Do not wash and re-pack new wheel

    bearings.

    TO 1C-130H-2-32JG-20-1 section 2-3-2.

    8. If prepacked bearings are not supplied, clean,

    inspect, and repack bearings (5,7) in accordance

    with TO 44B-1-3.

    So, if they are new and prepacked install them!!!

    I've been listening to the AMP saga for 12 years and still don't believe the plan will ever come to fruition. They longer it takes the less aircraft they have to do. AMP has caused many of wasted man-hours because they would not upgrade any equipment especially the flight deck gauges because AMP will fix it.

    I HOPE IT DOES COME ABOUT, BUT WHEN, IS THE IMPORTANT QUESTION!!!

    Delays and AMP go together!!

    Warner Robins even stopped briefing AMP at the PIWG (probably because they couldn't keep up with the line moving to the right!).

    It is a speed switch see the attachment. Here is what it for IAW the T.O.

    4.6.2 When the momentary contact switch is activated, the

    aircraft holding relay is energized and the circuit is completed

    through the starter cutout switch assembly. When the engine

    is operated through starter cutoff, a predetermined frequency

    interrupts the current to the starter switch, thus opening the

    aircraft circuit. The aircraft holding relay is then deenergized,

    and the air supply to the starter is cut off. The starter jaw

    disengages and the starter coasts to rest.

    does it need to be hooked up I wouldn't think so

    We were supposed to be knee deep in AMP by now the Air Force has delayed so many problem fixes by saying "AMP will fix it." Baloney convert the gauges we will all be retired by the time AMP gets into full swing(if ever!!!)

    You are right on the flash point, but Air force did find 5606 corrosive when used in systems cleaned by PD680 dry cleaning fluid. This what I was told about when the conversion happened a while back to MIL-H-83282 then because this fluid did not work well in the low temperature range the perfered fluid was switched from MIL-H-83282 to MIL-H-87257 and all can be mixed with the previous fluid. The new fluid is a better fluid in preventing prop leaks in the winter; however, it is not perfect!

    Really? Yours must be different than ours then. We still use 5606 in our aircraft, and we have found that 5606 is as good as CPC under the floor panels.

    The USAF changed from 5606 to the currently used hydraulic fluid purely because of flash point. A prop leak that ends up in the brush block using 5606 sometimes catches fire. I guess the new hydraulic fluid won't do that?

    I testing my memory now, but you could refuel the A model with AC power (if you did not have a DC cart, by holding in the hot day start button and switching on TR 1 and 2 then releasing the hot day start button, RIGHT!!

    C-130A Fuel System

    I don't remember the gunships having any bladder tanks, but they did have foam and extenals. Hose clamps to hook them to the aicraft with no fuel indication. The only way you knew they had fuel after you hung them was during the leak and transfer checks!! they did not add much distance, but did give the crew enough fuel to do several touch and goes after we got to the DM, what fun!!!
