Correct jack for a 715

[Jon Rudie]

I have never seen a photo or diagram of the jack for a 715. Can someone describe one or know where to look up a picture of one?

3 ton rachet type screw....would that be like a bottle jack only mechanical? The M151 had one like that I'm wondering if they used the same type only heaver for the 715?

According to Olive drab dot com the 3/4 to 1.5 ton vehicles were issued a bottle type jack like what most of us probable have in our garage. But the jack I was thinking of is pictured on the page under 1/4 ton.

Man, have I turned into a flake lately or what?!

Over a week ago I was going to post a picture of the jack that I got with the truck. Not sure if it's an actual M715 jack or not, but here it is:





Despite its rough appearance, it functions as smooth as glass!

Well going by the discription that is on the manual page that Jon had posted in the other thread I would have to say that might be it. Any OD on it any where? If it is the real macoy then I would think it is worth a good buck.

Well, one of them is with my truck. I'm sure there are several others with other folk's trucks as well. I don't see how it's any special from other jacks, as I've got one in the garage just like it from who knows where.
