D68880 (7068880) CRADLE AND PINTLE ASSEMBLY

Fig. 4 D68880 (7068880) CRADLE AND PINTLE ASSEMBLY (part of E10014)
This was essentially identical to D40733 (see previous), but had a shorter, stepped pintle shaft for use with the D36961 pintle socket and carriage assembly as part of the M35C skate mount or with various pedestal mounts for trucks. It only appears to have been used with the D90078 ammo tray to form the E10014 cradle, pintle and tray assembly.
