Tooele Army Depot Warranty Sticker

[fkowalski1942]

Hello Guys,
I´m finishing an M109 shop van truck restoration, i´m trying to replicate a sticker that came on the truck axle when i got it, i took a picture before the disassembly but the words seems unreadable... Anyone can tell me what are those little words in the white circles? The central word(the only one readable) is "TEAD", making refer for Tooele Army Depot.
I´m trying to replicate with 100% accuracy... closer its not enough.

I know that i am probably the most annoying guy in this forum making this kind of question... haha

Best Regards

I'd like a few too. I'm looking for the red/blue depot stickers they put on the engine rebuilds that say "Army Tooele Depot" as well.

If you provide me a picture and measures i can get a few for you. I can make stainless steel data plates also.

I can't find much better online.

How did military warranties like that work anyway? Was that for cases where a unit didn't have direct maintenance support?

LOL, I remember the old Autovon calls...

Might sound like I have slipped a cog or two, but call the number. Ask if there is such a thing as a Tooele historian. Ask is someone could copy an old sticker, or at least that part of the sticker. Its also on the plate shown in post #7. If the number is not in use, go to the web site for the depot. cant hurt. And you might well be surprised!

Back in the day, depending on what the item was, Tooele would ask for information from you about the failed item. Then, they would call TACOM, (Tank and Automotive Command) for vehicle related items, TROSCOM, (Troop Support Command for Ground Power items, today called CECOM) or MICOM, (U.S. Army Missile Command) or or other commands I can no longer remember, and have them send a "Tech Rep" to come see you. They would try to determine what what wrong. Why it went wrong. Arrange for fixing the problem. Expedite the delivery of the defect item.

An axle would never be repaired by DS Level Maintenance. It was a pluck, turn in and order item.

Doesn't hurt to try. That and e-mail. Worst that can happen is that they don't respond after a week or two or say no.

I tried to call but no answer and even searched for Colonel Bruce E. Schmacker but he passed away in 2019.
Luckily, i got the information from a friend who served at TEAD, below the full image with the correct words i needed.

Thank You!!! Very Nice.
With that image, building a new sticker will be easy.

Thanks for explaining what the four "FLA's" mean.

I also asked someone in TACOM to see if there is a historian at Tooele. Between java breaks and zoom conferences, he will take a look see.

Wow, that's great - thanks for sharing! I'm going to save that sticker on my computer just in case I need it

After a couple hours of work, here´s the full size JPEG that i made... just print and apply to your vehicle.

What's the range of years that sticker would've been valid? As someone mentioned, that Col. is long gone, and I'm thinking there'd be someone else listed on there at a later time.
