Description
Add a strong piece of Cold War U.S. Army artillery history to your collection with this Technical Manual Change 1 for TM 9-1015-230-35P. This change covers the 105mm M103 Howitzer Cannon, M139 Mount, elevating mechanism, and auxiliary drive assembly.
This is a Change 1 update for the original manual issued October 11, 1962. It is dated August 1964. This is not the full base manual.
Historical Significance
The 105mm M103 Howitzer Cannon and M139 Mount were part of the Army’s Cold War self-propelled artillery system. These parts are tied to the 105mm gun and mount system used with the M108 self-propelled howitzer family.
This update helps show how the Army kept its artillery manuals current as the system moved from early XM design names into standard M-series equipment names.

This Change 1 update helps preserve the parts record for that system. It pairs well with M108 howitzer displays, 105mm artillery parts, Cold War vehicle manuals, and Army ordnance reference sets.
