This is a quality reprint of US Army Manual TM9 2320 244 10.  Originally published in August, 1968, it is the Operator’s Manual for the 1.25 Ton 4X4 M715 Cargo Truck and M725 Ambulance.

From the Manual:

This manual contains instructions for operation and operator s maintenance for the 1/-ton 4 ~ 4 M715 and ~I725 series vehicles. Essentially, this manual is a commercial type manual and is being used in order to provide timely field support for the vehicle. Several important features about this vehicle and related equipment are enumerated in order to provide information not normally included in a commercial type operator's manual.

Instructions on lubrication, prescribed lubricants, and intervals are contained in this manual.

Note. The shifting instruction and publication data plate contains a reference to the Department of the Army Lubrication Order ~'umber.

The basic issue items list (BIIL), which lists accessories, attachments, component assemblies, tools, and repair parts accompanying the equipment, is provided in the appendix. This list also specifies the Troop Installed items, which when authorized are to be used with this vehicle.

The pictures are very usable and not washed out or too dark like many of the manuals I have seen that from copy machines.  This is laser printed on 24 pound paper.  Copy paper is generally 20 pound and you can feel the difference.  It is bound with GBC plastic combs so that it will lay flat.  If you would like I can, rather than bind with the plastic comb, three hole punch it for your binder.

        If you are collecting military manuals or looking for a prop to display at your next show, this is not the manual you want.  If you want some usable information on the truck that will lay flat on your bench when you are working on your pride and joy or some period information on how it was done back forty years ago while you curl up in front of the fire this winter, this is the one you need.
