ID a tool
I have a wrench that has the Ford logo and the number M-OIA-17019. Can anyone identify it's purpose?

What about a picture?

Re: ID a tool
Just to be tiresome, 17019 is the Ford part # for the tyre iron. You say your tool is a wrench, so is the number correct?
01A would be after 1940 & M is the letter stamp for Moore Drop Forge of Springfield ,Mass. A pic. really helps here. |

Re: ID a tool
I will post a picture later today. Not a tire iron for sure.

Re: ID a tool
17019 is indeed a tire iron, and I've never ever seen a numbered one, so number is misread most likely. I think 17017 is closest, that would be a head/sparkplug wrench 11/16X13/16, and those are about the only tool commonly seen with an 01A number.
Early 01a was open end on plug end, common late one is 2 box ends. A VERY few of the 2 open end wrenches bear the 01A, probably ones made after 1948 for dealer sales. |

Re: ID a tool
That would be the early one with open ended plug wrench...
the second is plug and head wrench from a TT truck...the extra boxed hex is for a truck-only wheel lug and is not on the regular Model T one. Part number is entirely different from the V8 period, so root number does not match the '40 one of similar function. |
