Z tools
I have 23 Z tools. I would like to learn their usages and their value. I also have a very nice original round gas tank with brackets and bulb for sale.

Re: Z tools
I can't set a value for you, as prices vary widely. But I can refer you to the the Model T Encyclopedia for a list of all tools and their names.

Re: Z tools
Rumor has it that there is a special set of Z Tools for the wire wheels.
I have never been able to find them.

Re: Z tools
see chart for tool numbers - tool shape is under the number. You can update with Z tool #. I don't believe they are listed

Re: Z tools
Thank you for the charts which show 3Z tools. All of the tools that I have are 5Z. Would 5Z be for Model A?

Re: Z tools
Ford updated their tool numbers - I believe some Model A tools are Z also.

Re: Z tools
Two tools have T numbers: T 2839 and T5893. There is also 9N 17014 which is likely a tractor tool.

Re: Z tools
Early versions of some of the tools had T numbers. These same tools later were given a Z number eg the camshaft nut wrench was T2333 which became 3Z655 and then 5Z162.

Re: Z tools
In addition to some early T tools that transitioned to 3Z tools; some 3Z tools transitioned to 5Z tools, yet all serve the same purpose.

Re: Z tools
The numbering system changed around 1920, going from the 3Z prefix to the 5Z. All 3Z tools are Model T and 5Z tools can be for the Model T or the Model A, just depends on the looking up the number to find their application (A vs. T). But don't forget about the 16Z, 24Z and 28Z tools.

Re: Z tools
T2839 is the wire wheel lug wrench. You could also use 5Z-161. They are both "T" shaped wrenches.
T5893 is the wrench for the spark plug and the cylinder hesd cap screws.
