I picked up an EAGLE oil can at the MVPA convention but seems sloppy in the oil can holder on the firewall of the jeep. It may not be the proper one or my reproduction oil can holder may be out?
Hi Derk, Its probably the oil can, that's not a correct one for your Jeep. I have seen that you have come across the tool list on the G503. This will be you friend. Dave

Hi Dave,
Yes it turns out that my oil can is 1/4'' smaller than the correct oil can for the jeep. I will have to look closer at the next one I come across to not make the same mistake again. I hope to make it to the 2017 MVPA convention this year to find a few of the tools and items I am still missing for my tool kit list. The convention is in Cleveland,Ohio and only 18 hours 37 minutes (1,954 kms) drive from my place so nice and close. After I posted my tools here I had time to do some more searching and came across the G503 post on proper WWII tools for the jeep and that answered all my questions and more! Regards,Derk

Also the oil can should have the brand name stamped, not embossed.
Stamped  Embossed

Ah!
Thanks Frank,another thing to look for when trying to find a proper oil can for my jeep. Was going to go to the MVPA convention this year and even had Rob on board but I want to build a shop this summer so decided to stick close to home and concentrate on saving for it instead.
Regards,Derk

Rob,
I plan for a 30 x 40 foot shop. That's the largest I can build on the property without getting a variance. If the shop isn't big enough to store all of my projects then I will just have to get rid of some of them! I picked up this set of pliars a week ago. G503 lists the manufacturer as wartime but CeeTee Jamestown,NY and mine are simply CeeTeeCo CRESCENT USA. Not sure what the difference is there. Possibly changed the stampings after the war? Derk

Derk,
Very nice collection, some great finds! Was the Canadian tool kit was the same as the tool kit supplied with jeeps supplied to US Forces? I only ask because the tool, spares etc - the Vehicle Outfit List (VOL) - provided with jeeps issued to Australian forces was substantially different to the kit listed in the US-supplied parts & operators manuals. There was some commonality, of course, but many items were supplied from local (Aust) manufacturers and made to Australian Army requirements/standards. Mike
