Dan,

This must be the *first* accessory owners leave in the ditch by the road after
changing their first flat!  I know they're considered next to useless by some
folks, but I wish people wouldn't do that.  The 1976 Traveler I bought (I'm
the 3rd owner) was missing it, the jack handle and the lug wrench.  I bought
all three from a fellow Digest member out of Arizona I think (a long with a
few other misc. missing parts).  As someone else mentioned, it's your standard
bottle neck jack with a heavy stamped metal base plate.  I've seen several of
these in Ford pickups that could easily be mistaken for the IH jack if you
weren't careful.  The base plate has a hole in one corner that fits over the
threads of a bolt sticking up in the corner of the fender ledge.  The jack
handle (crank) is secured over the jack and into a clip to hold it in place.

Wow!!!  You have the much sought after early prototype rocket powered Scout II
with the Gemmer brand model 24J turbine, with the optional Jet Cooler.  What a
find!  You lucky dog.

Happy holidays,

John
