Rob, this is a different pulley than the one in the photo but it is supposed to be out of a FAT. I have posted on here before how a friend of mine's father who was an RCAF mechanic stripped vehicles at the disposal site at Hagersville Ontario at the end of the war. This is where all the vehicles that Elliot's in Newtonville bought. Bruce Parker's FOX for example. He would put radios in one pile, extinguishers in another, tools in another and so on. All the piles were bought by scrapers or surplus dealers. Much of it went to Levy's in Toronto. As sometimes happens all the pieces didn't get in the right pile if you know what I mean. Anyway he gave me this block and a couple of other things when I became interested in military vehicles. He remained a mechanic his whole life.
The snatch block body is 9X11.5 if I remember correctly and has a 7/8" shaft. I used this in my tow truck for years. Apologies to Bob C. I never got any notifications about additional posts on this thread so until today I hadn't looked at it. I am finally no longer on the dial up from hell so things go a little smoother. Cheers, Barry

If it is snatch block for the winch
Hi
The snatch block for use with the winch is going to be fairly large with the pulley wheel more that 8 inch in diameter with a 1 inch diameter grove just to work with the 11/16ths winch cable. The winch cable on a CMP makes the cable on US trucks look thin. The snatch block is a very useful and necessary tool to go with the winch kit. Do you have the winch scotches? Cheers Phil

A beautiful evening here in Manitoba...
Still looking for the Carter manual choke carb for the mid 50's 235, but we took the Rochester auto choke carb out of the FAT this week and replaced it with a manual choke Rochester. Starting like a gem and every time I see this beast running I realize what a beautiful piece of Canadian military history it is. I hope you guys don't get tired of my pics. Tony putting her thru the paces.

Inspiration
Rob,
Please continue with the updates and particularly the pictures. It is a great source of inspiration for those of us who have just started on the path to a restoration project. A great piece of history that you have brought back to life. Peter

Are you looking at the 3 beehive lamps sometimes called Identification lamps, indicating a larger vehicle (>80" wide)? Similar lamps were retrofitted to My M135 and I have seen the remnants on CMPs picked up. Normally they would be added when the truck was civil registered but my M135 had never been civilianized so DND must have been adding these lamps at some time.
