1. In late 1943 (Decemberish), production lines were installing support brackets on the hood of jeeps for the purpose of adding a grease gun bracket and grease gun. |

2. The grease gun used and stored under the hood is the Alemite Model 6593 hand lever grease gun |

4. Shown here are the markings on the top portion of the grease gun. It appears to be a serial number and two additional markings a "T" and "3" |

5. The handle has a warning on how to load the grease lever gun. |

6. The proper painting for the grease gun is to have OD on the handle and top, while the rest of the body is natural. |
