Does anyone know where to get a litter kit for a mule? In TM 9-2320-246-20P ,page 91-92 they show a picture. Rail, ASSY: litter kit 10944802 (19207).

Good luck, I looked for years and never found one. Finally made my own copy.

These are the only two photos that I ever took. the drawing in the TM is about as good of a reference as you will find. This thing was a very poor design and didn't hold the stretchers very well, The pins rattled and make a lot of noise, and after the brackets snagged and ripped my pants for the third or forth time, I took it off and sold it to David Kelone. I think if anyone tried to use one of these in actual service, it would wind up on the scrap pile pretty fast! Maybe that's why nobody can find one! It's much easier to just place the stretchers flat on the deck.
