Heater

Post by henrydes »

Picked up a large unopened wooden box with the following info on the box. Personal Heater 2540-0397784. I don't want to open it unless its something I can use . Anybody know what vehicles it was made for.

What is the 6 or 7 digit ORD # on the crate that starts with a 7 or 8?

Henry, I would still like to know what ORD # is on your crate. The FSN or NSN numbers often represented more than one ORD #.

Thanks for the info...It looks like the heater is for a M38a1, so I will be keeping it . I will look up the numbers you asked about this afternoon.

I will look again for that number...I found the manual and it is a gas heater. It states that it is converted from a six volt to 24 for the m38a1.
