CMP tools photo thread

[servicepub (RIP)]

I was looking through the garage the other day and decided to thin out my tool collection.

[Eric Korhonen]

Now that garage in the picture is the place to have a garage sale . People would be lined up for the goodies in there, i know i would be at the front of the line .

we have these three dipsticks.

The one on the left is for a WD 3ton

The one in the middle is for a 15 CWT UT

The on on the right is for a COUPE UT

Has anyone seen any of these before?

Broad C Arrow 1943 marked. Still looking for those rare Bofors ammo box's for my LAAT. Backdrop is 610 SQD. over Hawkinge, one of the most facinating BOB airfields I have ever visited. Fantastic place, oooozzzzing with history! Cheers Rob

Yet another Jack. This one is marked
"Made in Canada
1942
Auto Specialities"

It's too big for a CMP jack bracket, what does it suit?

[Neil Ashley]

I have a D handled vehicle shovel on my C15TA marked Bull Dog made in Canada.

Is this a war-time make or post-war.

[Bob Moseley (RIP)]

Hi all
Don't know if this is CMP. Just received it from one of my contacts. Unfortunately only one as I reckon there should be a pair.

[Bob Moseley (RIP)]

And it's a Dad & Dave along with the numerals 3 over 9 stamped sideways.

Seems to me when it came to jacks they used what ever they could find that would handle the weight.

Speaking of the Peking to Paris program, how many people saw it and recognised our own intrepid forum member Lang Kidby, who was the organiser of that amazing trip?

The aiming posts you have are American pattern. There may be the data plate on them with M1A1 (C1A1) designation on them.

[Lynn Eades]

Bob, the Unimogs only carry one. I guess when you need another, there will be something else that can be used. Besides, in most of Aussie one would be more than enough!

[Max Hedges]

not sure if this jack is miltary or not.

Is there any special markings to lookout for on the tyre pump?
Peking to Paris has been a fantastic story so far,
Jeff

[Neil Ashley]

I have a number of Canadian manufactured spanners and tools including one of the Ford type cranked adjustable spanners.

None however have any military markings on them. Are these civilian items or did Ford and GM not marked their tools.

[Max Hedges]

a good colection of Cmp tools .... these don't belong to me

I have a Canadian Fuel Funnel for sale. Like Rob Fast's picture on page 1 of this thread it has a brass thread soldered to the spout to enable the use of the flexible spout used with the 2 Gal POL can. Asking Au$20.

[Tony Smith]

This funnel is in good order, but is missing the filter gauze soldered in the neck. The steps in the top of the funnel are rests to upend a 2gal cal and sit it in the funnel while you go off and check oil levels and tyre pressures, etc.

A Grease Gun wouldn't be of any use without Grease, so here's a 2lb tin of "Grease No3". V.O.Co Ltd is the Vacuum Oil Company, which later became Mobil Australia.

Max has a few of these tins and is greasing people's palms with them.

I thought i would add some pics and links in to this thread so they dont get lost in the abyss!

Jeff asked about details of the tyre correct pump- here they are.

I picked up this pump for what could have been a $2 profit! I looked at the other one in the photo with the big base at a swap last year and the guy said '$5, i dont want to take it home', i said no because i needed it like a hole in my head. He then threw the CMP one at me and said there you go, 2 for $2, again i said no as i didnt know it was a CMP pump or i would have grabbed it first! He said ok, just take them- again i said no, he said i`ll give you $2 to take them- again i said no, i then ended up giving in and just giving him the $2 because i felt bad and took them so he would leave me!

It wasnt until i got home and I was looking at the pumps I noticed a stamping. Off to the wire wheel, a bit of a brush and whala- the D^D appeared! I jumped around a fare bit that afternoon! For those wondering, the correct CMP pump is the dark green, shorter one on the left.

The only marking on it are: D^D on the body at the top. D.E.P. on the cap and 7 on the base.

I`ll go take some pics of some spanners which match the part #'s in the packing list and the manuals as well as a 1944 D^D shovel and post these up too.


Cheers,
Ian.

Ian,

Thanks for posing your pics. I took the liberty to use the proper links to the G503 Album site (copy "Linked Thumbnail").

Cheers,
