You can try the link that Chris gave me:

His snail mail address is

1759 Mesa Grande Loop
Rio Rancho, NM 87124

When we had a blowout on our 3124KS a few years ago, I used a bottle jack to raise the axle to the limit of the jack's cylinder. I lowered the scissors stabilizers to hold it at that height and then put blocks under the bottle jack to raise the axle even more. It took a couple of sequences of doing this to get the damaged tire high enough off the ground so that it could be removed. I carry a 6 ton bottle jack in our truck.

I like Mike's suggestion of using a combination bottle-scissors jack under the TM's axle, but, can't visualize how this device could be low enough to get under the axle with a flattened tire. Mike, do you have any links that will show what this device looks like?
