If you have used one, well...

A.

C.

 

[Hypoid]

A: Since I don't own that car anymore, I found an alternate use.

 

[Hypoid]

B: Wish I had a few more cans...

 

[Hypoid]

C: If I had any of these, I'd be set.

Here is another hint:

How about this one?

 

[Hypoid]

My Pops has one of those; I don't remember watching him use it.

After watching the video, I want one!



Keep-em coming!

He must have had either an old Studebaker or an old Jeep with a tapered-axle rear end... having to whack away on one of those with a hammer just to check the rear brakes is kind of a PITA.

Side note: don't grease the taper! You'd think that you'd want to do that, but that's a good way to split the hub.

Hell, I still have that stuff in my garage.:twak:

B: Wish I had a few more cans...

I recently found a set of 3 oil can spiggots or whatever they were called... very cool, but i still threw them away.... dont see oil coming in a can anytime soon...

 

[jeep ride]

what oil manufacturer was the first to put oil in plastic bottles Quacker State first one for me.

The pictures in the first, second, and third post were taken in my driveway. It's your turn to post pictures! :twak:

I remember Fords, shivies, and binders... including a "Super A." I'll have to ask about that next time we get together.

Must have been for the IHs then... I think older ones had tapered axle D44s just like Stude. Oldest one I've worked on is my dad's Scout II though and that had a normal rear axle.

OK Tom, here is one I've never used. What was its designated purpose?

When you took one of these apart, it was probably NIB. :moon:

 

[old_man]

You got me there. The second one looks kind of like what we called a Yankee Drill. The first one looks kind of like a multi purpose wrench for a Model T.

I still have my old Ford early model monkey wrench. It is great because it has such a large open capability but a short handle. I used it for pulling gears out of a D4 Cat.

 

[Hypoid]

That is pretty good! I got these in some old tool boxes that were given to me.
Ford wrench, obviously.

The script engraved in the body says:

[old_man]

So when you press down on the handle, the tip should rotate, right?

 

[Hypoid]

That is correct. After doing some research, I learned that these use a fluted drill, to cut in both directions. Time to empty the scrap bucket and see if I tossed any.

 

[markw]

Ok, I'll play.

 

[Hypoid]

Now THAT is interesting! Can we have a picture of the other side?
