Could need some help identifying a few tools and jacks.
What is generic, Model T, Model A, V8, tractor etc.
Thanks!

Best that I can see in your photos: only the flip top jack is correct Model A. The rest of the jacks are not A, T or V8, just generic. The long tire iron with a 1/4 twist is actually a correct jack handle for a jack that is not in your photos. The grease gun, and probably the screwdriver and pliers are most likely Model A. The photos of the wrenches are not good enough for me to see and determine. Need better photos to tell more.

If the spark plug wrench has a one inch opening than its Model T, Model A wrenches are 11/8" opening to fit the Champion 3X spark plug. Look in the judging standards for more details and the date changes of the MANY tools Ford supplied for the "A". LRF

Ford Jacks - These are later models so may not be of any help.

My 1930 sedan came with an original jack. I had to use it once. After that I put it on the shelf to look at and put a small bottle jack in the car to actually use, along with some short pieces of 2 X 4's.

Please do not use any of the ratchet jacks to lift a car or truck. They are known to collapse, and there have been serious injuries and at least one fatality I know of.
