The TM title is "Type 40, Model D60-PA, two-stage air compressor, Ingersoll-Rand Co." added around March 1945 to the
List and Index of Department of the Army Publications per Google Books. As such you will probably need to find it among WWII collectors as it will not have been digitized...
The problem with the old GI ones is that the rubber has shrunk and they will not 'hold' onto the can when pouring. And the 'oriental' replacements have the 'washer' compression disc too thin to hold the rubber compressed, so they come off easily also. Use what you have for actually moving...
CK was the replacement for the MKT series, so not as many have been surplussed (yet). One of them can feed up to 600 troops with a crew of about 6, vs about 10 with two MKT's fully staffed.
The CK TM is on the USB drive that I've distributed to so many of the guys that have bought kitchens (MKT's and TFK-250's). It is TM 10-7360-226-13P if you want to search Liberated Manuals or radionerds for it.
If not stopping stupid, it would at least slow stupid down to be survivable. And smaller pieces can be glued onto the edges of hard plates (overlap from front to back at least 3-4 inches) to stop spalling from flying up into your chin, or to the sides into your arms, etc.

They did not want to mess with international shipments because there can be serious problems for businesses if they violate the ITAR regulations. The deuces went out on EUC's (End Use Certificates) and some dealers are not sure exactly what part might be considered 'arms dealing'. Then there...
And you need to come to the GA MV Rally in November, even if you don't have any green (pink) iron by that time. You will get a lot more info on the ins and outs of this hobby face to face.
Most of the kits that I've seen have the line up to the remote go in the place of the vent cap and lead up through the floor to an area on the left side of the driver's seat on the back wall, almost level with the top of the cab wall. If you are going deeper than that, you will need a deep...
Gone by there a couple of times, picking up stuff from Mechanicsburg. Was not far from there back in the early 70's, sitting on Lamb's Knoll for a week at a time.
