924H Wheel Loader: Breathe Easy with Precleaner Parts

 
This article initially appeared in PS 759 (Feb 16), p. 25. 
 
Dear Editor,

If you need to repair the 924H wheel loader’s air precleaner, you’ll come up empty looking for parts in Fig 22 of TM 5-3805- 298-24P. The air precleaner is listed only as an assembly, NSN 2940-01-068-7108, and costs about $107.

But we’ve found that the precleaner does have two repair parts. So keep these NSNs handy and save yourself a little money by repairing the precleaner whenever possible.

Item NSN Cost
Access cover 5340-00-103-8902 $29.58
Air precleaner body 2940-00-876-2181 $19.23

Of course, you’ll still have to replace the whole assembly if a part other than these two breaks.

Editor’s Note: Good info, Jeff. Those two parts will keep the air flowing. Thanks for a great cost-savings tip!
