just checked they are 24v so remember that, you need to be looking at truck wiper systems or motors at least.

I'm not doubting you, because I know very little about M715s, but after a quick Google I found a couple of pages that seem to suggest that the wipers should be vacuum operated.
If you have a look at the bottom picture on this page you'll see the little handles - apparently these are actually vacuum motors too:

Here's a page that suggests that they should be vacuum:

And finally, these eBay ad has two, and says that they have an arm for manual use too:

Sorry if this stuff is wrong, I'm just going by what Google tells me! 

[Bubba]

yup god made them with petrol engines and vacume motors for the wiper and of cource 24 volt what else would they be for the army ?

[Bulldog67]

Brynjaminjones dood, - i am unashamedly not interested in spannery stuff, so when i see wipers with friggin handles for me to use to move to get them to move, i use the 2+2=5 method 

when im sober i will check those links cheers

however if "god made them with petrol engines and vacume motors for the wiper and of cource 24 volt" how does that mate up with a diesel transplant?

[Bubba]

it was a ground breaking engine but a bit crap not to mention  thirsty on its way down low gearing enter stage left diesel truck engine a good one too  this thread is a bit   ray charles looking at coluor charts aint it

[Bulldog67]

im having brick wall on finding an enthusiastic spanner wielder for this truck
