Brian,
The X-144 number lead me to think that it might be a Ford Special Service Tool so I started having a look and I found it. It is part of a Spring Spreader. At some point prior to 6 Aug 1940, Wasco changed their tool numbering system. The Old tool number (for the complete tool) is X-144-FR while the new tool number is X-5560-A. I could not find it listed in MB-F1 as a service tool for the CMPs but it may have been used with some of the Modified Conventional Pattern Vehicles.
I have taken images and I intended to attach them but the "manage attachments" button is not working right now. Hopefully I can add the images soon.
Colin
