T tools
I have some tools and am wondering about some years on the tools.
Also, what tools are needed for a 1922 touring kit, like what came from the factory? First are some adjustable wrenches.

Just a 20 year old who listens to 40 year old music, works on 75 year old airplanes and drives 100 year old cars.

Re: T tools
Pretty sure the top one with USA is Model A era - there's been a fella looking for the small Ford adjustable wrench for some time now.

Re: T tools
The adjustable wrenches with which I am familiar Have the Ford script on the head of the spanner and often have a T number on the other side of the head. A model adjustable wrenches have a square divot on the end of the handle to access the rear axle drain plug. This feature was introduced at the end of the T production and carried over to the A.

Re: T tools
I am familiar with that type wrench. They are good for a T tool kit for display, but not very good for use on anything torqued down. They tend to be a bit flexible and will strip the nut or bolt head. Of course with the square heads and nuts, not so bad. I prefer modern wrenches which come in various sizes to do the actual work on the cars.

Re: T tools
So it sounds like the small one is for a model A and the larger one is for a model t?

I wonder if the larger one is Fordson?

Re: T tools
Yes, you're correct Alan - I forgot about the small tab on the end - my Ts are all earlier. I don't recall the "USA" on T era wrenches ? Could be Fordson John.

Re: T tools
Your best bet is to look at the parts book for the year of your car. However, the photos are usually a year earlier than what you are looking for.
