Info needed: Smiths "Maxfield" tranmission compressor- What vehicle?

[Jacques Reed]

Good Day,

A friend just gave me this transmission compressor. He thought if was for my Ford CMP truck. I don't think F15-A trucks were equipped with compressors but it would have been a nice accessory to have.

Don't think it is for it Ford CMP trucks as it as made by Smiths in England. My Ford Parts Manual says they were made by Outboard Marine, Saylor-Beall or Webster. It is also much larger than the one for the CMP transmission. It is all cast iron so quite heavy instead of the die cast metal ones used on the Ford transmission.

A quick Google search suggested a few applications: International K5, Austin or even Land Rover but no definitive answers Even a G-Well bag lifter which I haven't got a clue to what it is.

Any help with identification gratefully appreciated. Prefer to pass it on to someone who can use it.

Cheers,
