The Canadian 1925 to 1927 Model Ts had a Rim Tire Change Tool that kind of looked like a varmit trap with big springs and short pegs that fit those holes near the rim break.

A friend has an early Dodge with the same rims.

Would anyone have one they do not need or some photos of that tool?

I have lost my photos!

James, there is no reason the usual three legged rim tool would not work on split rims. They are far more plentiful. I have only ever had one of the "varmint trap" style rim tools.

I have seen a picture but can't find it right now. Allan, I think you sent me a pic one time. I would like to have oine just because it goes with my Canadain car but they seem to be hard to find.

Does it look like this one?

Yes!

Thank you!!

Are there other vehicles for the same time period, like a Dodge, that used those rims and that tool?

Adrian, I thought I had photos of the one I found for my mate in Western Australia, but I couldn't find them. When you made your post, the cardboard background piqued my interest. Might I have posted it somewhere, and you had the good sense to save it, and the wit to be able to find it at will?

Hi Allan, most probably, I did not take the picture nor could I find a reference who did!
Kind regards
Adrian

That photo does look like the one I used to have, but can no longer find.

I do not know where I got it or the other one similar that shows a side view that I can't find either.
