Smoother gun elevation shifting.


Dear Connie,

I've run into several cases of the Bradley's gun elevation drive (GED GED
abbr.
1. general equivalency diploma

2. general educational development

GED (US) n abbr (Scol) (= general educational development) →
) having difficulty switching between the POWER and MANUAL modes.

When you do a diagnostic test, it usually Faults out the GED assembly or motor. But when I've investigated, I've Found the real problem is that either the shifter fork (Item 101 in Fig 62 of TM 9-2350-294-24P-2) has broken or the Fork's gear has rusted in place.

Of course, it's much cheaper to replace the Fork than the whole GED. And you can help prevent the fork From breaking or rusting in place by cleaning and lubing the shaft the gear elides on at least every six months.
