I need a full set for a MKT 99, I have the old vinyl just the thread gave up! I have a local person who says she can resew them but I don't know? I did buy one of the manual Chinese sewing machines, but it is still in the box a year later!!!

I think I read somewhere the troop seats for the M1008 are just shortened deuce troop seats, is that how everyone builds them?

Look like a really nice unit, beats my MKT99, the gen set and fridge are real improvements!

It came from the City of New Orleans so it had a variety of equipment left in it!

This one was mixed in with the tools on my 6217, may have been a pickup from who knows where!

The 14R20's look real good! Thanks Red River!

is this the issue jack for the M 715 vehicles?

I don't know about yellow paint, but that is one good looking truck!

Thanks, I kinda guessed that but I have never seen them in action(M880)! The 715 feet have come in pretty handy, I have several 715s and the feet are easy/quick to use.

Years ago I got in a P match with Gov. Liq. as a consolation prize I received a large box of new tow bar feet, over the years I have used most of them but this one pair is a little bit of a mystery, I think they may be M880 related but I am just guessing. I am talking about the ones laying on...

I found it in with a bunch of stuff that I think came out of my 6217 maint. truck. I have seen other jack handles with the j hook attaching point, I may even have one laying around? First thing to do is to break it free, I have Kroiled it to no avail!! Thanks for the ideas.

I have a military scissor jack, origin unknown, that is very heavy duty and would be real handy, but I don't have the handle and the way it hooks up looks odd. Does anyone have any ideal of how this handle may have looked. If I can get an idea of how it attached to the jack I can fab up...

Thanks for the ideas, luckily I found a source for some good looking 14's for $150 each, I may get a full set plus a spare just to be safe!

I am now down three 14R20s on my wrecker, 16R20s seem plentiful not so much for 14s. Any mods need to be made to switch over to 1600s? I can pick them up mounted for $200 or less. The truck moves about 50 miles a year at most on mainly in the pasture.

Are PTO specific to vehicle size or is it one size fits all? Deuce and 5 Ton?
