MK48 - What is a deadman axle stuffing shaft

[SouthJL]

What is a "deadman axle stuffing shaft"?

This a computer printed sticker that has been stuck on the instrument panel of a MK48 FPU next to the speedometer.



Thanks for any insight you might have. I've tried searching both here and google, and have come up empty handed. In the TM's (TM-08780B-), I can't find any reference to stuffing shaft or deadman axle. I found a deadman switch, but that's on the remote control for the crane.

id assume it would be an axle that isn't used for propulsion. so desplined shafts have been put in to seal the shafts.

Thanks for the guess, makes sense to me. It was on a GP auction out of FL. A MK48 Tractor Truck, that I put a low bid on and didn't win. But it went for $17.5k, way more than I wanted to pay even if it didn't have that questionable sticker in the cab.
