CMP tools photo thread

Rob Fast · #1 13-04-05, 02:20

Thought I would start a thread on CMP tools not often seen. Here is my latest find. I love to see actual pics of the tools so I know what to look for. Post away.

2 ton jack dated 1945

Alemite 6679

Rob:

Check out pp 200, 201 of "Canada's Fighting Vehicles, Europe 1943-45, Vol 1, Second Edition".

No wonder 10cwt trailers were required! Look at all the kit required for just one vehicle!

I can pick out your grease gun, tool box and 2T jack from the pic on p 200.

Cheers,

Chris

Is this the spanner used for Ford CMP F15A 15-cwt rear hubs?

(When I worked on mine, I borrowed a makeshift spanner made from an old brass fire hose connector!)

Just wondering if you had a copy of what the labels below each item actually says? It is a great photo however the labels would help me identify what the things are. Some of the stuff looks unrecognisable to me.

Kind Regards
Lionel

3" inch sockets are still available...... found mine brand new fro apprx. $34.00CDN........

You can always bury the new one in the backyard until it is rusted and looks old.......

Sure beats using a chisels to butcher the nut... beiseds you cannot really set the tension ont he rear bearing properly without the proper socket..

I have collected a couple of CMP tool boxes of late all I need is too find all the correct tools to fill them.

Note one box has an ARN on the inside and outside of the lid.

Jeff Gordon · #10 05-09-09, 14:04

I picked this up in a junk yard in Townsville for $10
It has had another catch fitted.
Can someone take a good photo of the latch.
Cheers
Jeff

Hi guys,

Is there a list of markings that we should look out for on tools- detailing manufacturerss, sizes, industry markings etc?

I have a 2 pages, each different which came out of my original ford maintenance manual june 1943 detailing tools and equipment for the truck when it left the factory.
One called:
"Export KD Checking Sheet for 'The following list of amterial is representative of loose items which will remain with the vehicle when delivered to the customer by Ford Motor Company at destination'"
Aid AUS 218. Sheet revision date- 10-16-44. Lot no. F.

The other called:
Export K.D Checking Sheet for Unit 1 K.D Tool Kit Australia. Lot No F. Sheet Revision date 10-16-44. Plant No. C39Q-17001-D.

Whats on both of them appears to be the same as in chris's photo. Does anyone know anything about these sheets?

I dont have a cmp, but im sure ive walked past countless tools here in oz at swapmeets/flea markets unknowing! The list i have is great, but it doesnt have the specific details i/we need.

Thanks

Ian.

Ian, you should grab anything with an arrow surrounded by a C, indicating Canadian. Specifically, you should get any any Ford tools with part numbers starting with a C, eg CxxQ-xxxxx. Ignore anything with a script F, as that's only for Jeeps

, although some CMP bits will have a script "Ford"

Tony Smith · #14 25-04-05, 12:41

And following on from the oil can I pictured above, what is that oil can in the Black and White pic above? Is it a 1 Quart size? It seems to be half as tall as the Petrol can. I have a 1 Gallon Oil can and is the same height as a 2 Gallon Petrol can. In the parts book it lists a 1 Gallon oil can, but also a 1 Quart size with 1940 model trucks, the part number not being replaced when stocks are deleted. i guess that would make it a fairly rare item today?
My oil can has the word "Oil" on one side and the other has the Letters "LF" in a circle, which seems to have been painted over with an "X". What could this mean? Lubricant, Fine? Lighter Fluid?

Rob Fast · #15 28-04-05, 02:28

Jon Skagfeld · #18 28-04-05, 04:42

Rob:

That's properly known as a Pick Axe, supplemented by a Handle, Pick Axe, more commonly used to beat away Ford CMP guys who attempt to raid Chev CMP guys stuff.

Max Hedges · #19 29-04-05, 01:17

A few bits and pices l have picked up over the years

Max Hedges · #20 29-04-05, 01:23

Mark Sierant · #21 29-04-05, 02:45

For those of you dreaming of tools and rare finds in a dissused shed ALWAYS check your find before inviting friends around fo a looksee.

Once Bitten Twice Shy as they say.

Tony Smith · #23 08-05-05, 06:24

Rob, I'm enjoying the backgrounds to your pics as much as the tools in the pics!

Rob Fast · #24 10-05-05, 02:01

No date or Broad C, found today! What is it doing in Canada? 2 gallon marked Valor on bottom.

Bob Carriere · #25 10-05-05, 04:07

Hi Rob

Can you post some side and bottom views...... definetely a keeper. Same early lettering as the GSW 1940 cans but built differentely.

On the funnel.... it seems that two different models are available.

One has a central spout the other as a offset spout... for the UC I believe.... BUT... the offset one has a brass screw type fitting on it..... why??? surely you cannot screw (pardon the expression ) anything if it is offset to fit the UC gas tank..... I also have one of those offset thingie with the brass attachment and can't explain why it is built that way......

I will say they do travel well.

Bob Carriere · #26 10-05-05, 04:10

Hi Max

Being an official flea market hound.... how to you ID these adjustable wrenches and box wrenches.... any C broad arrow... or anything else..... I have a box full of boxed and curved handles wrenches but nothing I can attribute to CMP.....

Lynn Eades · #27 10-05-05, 12:00

Can anyone post a good pic or two of the Canadian carrier track jack?
Thanks in advance.

The screw attachment was to put the flexible spout ( horsecock) onto the funnel. No reason why this wouldn't work on an offset funnel.

Max Hedges · #29 11-05-05, 03:01

Neither of there have any markings that l can find. Usually they hav the DD with the borard arrow between the D's. One of our jacks has these markings on it.

Max

Bob Carriere · #30 11-05-05, 05:37

I am going to print copies of the various tools and carry as an ID source on my many flea market visits.... some of that massive/heavy stuff seems to hang around for years and are usually in a cardboard box under the table awaiting discovery....

Thanks for your help.
