  1. Halifaxhops, it's obviously not a Ford prior to 1954. So what make is it for? I can't see Craftsman making a tool for anything but a common popular vehicle.
  2. It looks to me like a bearing flusher/washer.
  3. No, they're not homemade guides. They're tools provided by the car manufacturers for installing their wheels and are part of the spare tire tools. All mechanics make homemade guide pins as they need for special assemblies.
  4. You nailed it! Same way with those heavy wire wheels or demountable wood wheels on Franklins. Any car with lug bolts and no ridge to hold the wheel up.
  5. Nope! Way off. Here's a hint. It's for a Mercedes and the new picture is of two for a Franklin automobile like in my picture.
  6. My first car, a 1930 model A Ford when I was 15 for $25.00. Put it on the road when I was 16 and got regular liability insurance on it for $78.00 dollars a year. "1961" My, how times have changed.
  7. n'tNot a lug wrench used with a starter crank. Good! It's hard to get you. It is a socket to remove the crank bolt on a Model A Ford by using the hand crank. Because of the cross member and crank bracket, it's impossible to get a socket and extension on it. Most old mechanics used a hammer and chisel to loosen the crank bolt. That's why they are usually chewed up. The lower cast iron pully was very fragile and needed to be replaced often due to breakage. Now you know the rest of the story! Also you couldn't replace the front motor mount without removing the pully.
  8. There is something to your handle "oldford". You nailed it. And, for Model A Fords!
  9. You nailed it, but don't forget the V12 flathead Lincolns too.
  10. And when those mechanical brakes had no more left due to fade, this internal emergency brake band on the rear wheels, saved the day many times.
  11. Valve guide/valve retainer clip remover for flat head Ford, Lincoln, & Mercury.
  12. By the way, this is not photo shopped. It's a real plane and all the props are real. I took the photo several years ago just outside St. Micheals, MD. There was maybe a dozen or so others taking pictures too. The guy that does this does, does crazy things every year.
  13. Yes, and Rudolph was shoved in the trunk with his head hanging out for a tail light!!
