A little lube wins the race: M1A1/A2 tanks ...Without proper lube, the race ring on your MIAI or MlA2 tank will quickly come to a grinding halt. Trouble is, those tanks that are equipped with the new wire race ring, NSN NSN National Stock Number NSN Nokia Siemens Networks NSN National Storytelling Network NSN NATO Stock Number NSN New Substances Notification (CEPA) NSN National Student Number (NZ) NSN Never Say Never 101501-433-7999, don't have easy access to the lubrication lubrication, introduction of a substance between the contact surfaces of moving parts to reduce friction and to dissipate heat. A lubricant may be oil, grease, graphite, or any substance—gas, liquid, semisolid, or solid—that permits free action of fittings. The harder the fittings are to reach, the less likely they are to be lubed. With your unit commander's permission, mechanics can now fix that problem by installing a modified shield and guard with new fittings that make lubing the race ring during PMCS PMCS PMC Sierra (stock symbol) PMCS Project Management Control System PMCS partial mission-capable, supply (US DoD) PMCS Preventive Maintenance Checks & Services PMCS Professional Military Comptroller School much easier.
