Re: Ford wrenches
The big one is Model T if the large opening is 15/16", the large opening is larger for a Model A, 1&1/8" IIRC. The large opening is for spark plugs and the box end is for the head nuts or studs. Some of the smaller wrenches may be Model T, for adjusting the bands.
Any of those wrenches have numbers on them?

Re: Ford wrenches
T-5893 is for a Model T, it fits the spark plugs and the head studs.

Re: Ford wrenches
Bill, I had a shop doing foreign car repair in the early 60's. Lots of VWs plus the odd ones like the V8-60 Simca, Humbers, Wolsey, Standard Vanguards, Jag MKV, Lloyd, several MGs. I even had a customer who had a 1934 Lagonda sports car. I never worked on it but he bought Castrol oil from me. His son still has the car but moved to the west coast so I haven't seen it in years. I did some work one time on an early 30's Humber that the British shipping agent had run dry of water and cracked the head. Interesting old car with a pre-selector gearbox. Thanks for triggering these memories. Now back to Model As and the simple life.

Re: Ford wrenches
forgive me, but isn't a model A 1/2 inch wrench the same size as a model T 1/2 inch wrench?
why is there a distinction between the two? if it fits use it... which is heavier a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers? |

Now, if all you want is a half inch wrench, then it really doesn't matter when it was manufactured or where you obtained it. |
