What was the original tire changing kit that came with the M715 series trucks? I have gotten a lot of different answers from different folks at Aberdeen this past weekend and can't get the real answer. All I know is its very hard to find a lug nut extention that fits the 1" lug nuts, all the extentions I have laying around here fit larger nuts, I believe for deuce-and-a-half.
Ken-tool has a 1" lug wrench. Just paint it green and tell everyone it's stock. No one but you will know the truth.
kwai, you didn't answer my question. I didn't ask what would pass off as an original tire changing kit, I asked what the original was.
Any resto experts out there with the correct answer?
All the resto guys left in '01. :D
There are some people I am going to call and try and find out for you. They have original vehicles straight off the depot lot.
Tacoma, when you get that info please put it here and not on a pm. I would like to know also. Thanks
I have what I consider is the "original" lug wrench for the truck but how does one prove it. It's an EL shaped lug wrench, black, no part numbers. 3/4 inch diameter bar. The long leg is 2 ft and the other is 10 inches. The lug end is 1" six point. The long end tapers to a flat blade that's tip is slightly concaved?
No camera available for images.

In all the trucks I have acquired, I have never seen nor heard of a "original" lug wrench for the m715. The quirks manual shows a "L" shaped lug wrench. Hiker's sounds like the one shown in the quirks manual. Not sure what the jack would look like though.
Where would the stock wrench be stored? Thanks, Michael
Never seen a stock lug wrench or jack...the basic issue items list, from the -10 Operators manual lists:
JACK, Mach, Dbl-Screw, 3-Ton, Ratchet Type, 9" Closed, 18" Open (65909-932115) In tool compt on R.H. or L.H. lower front side of body.
WRENCH, Socket, Wheel Stud Nut, L-Hdl, 10.5" Offset, 1" Hex Opng, 24" long. In Tool compt on R.H. or L.H. lower front side of body. 65909-925304
Hmmm... I forgot all about this, but I got a jack with my truck. No idea at all if it's correct for an M715 though. It's in rough shape too, but could be cleaned up.
I'll take a picture of it when I get home.
Every MV is issued with a "tool" kit for repair and changing tires and it is listed in the -10 operators manual. So if what Jon posted is what the manual says is issued with the vehicle. Then that is what it was. I know M151's were issued a screw type jack, a L shaped lug wrench, a flat blade screw driver, a cressent wrench, and a M151 only wrench that looked like a combo open end and a socket on the other for the drain and fill plugs. It sounds like the M715 was only issued a jack and lug wrench?
Jon can you post the a link to the page in the -10 about the tools?
Click on Manuals up top,
Click on the -10 Operators Manual, first link in the big table at the top of the page,
Scroll the index to the last item in the table: APPENDIX: BASIC ISSUE ITEMS LIST

This sounds like the one that came with one of my trucks. The P/O told me it was original so I just took him at his word.Quote:
