Ford tools

[Lynerd]

I found a tool box full of tools today and bought them all. Got home and sorted some of them out. Found some Ford tools and I would like some help as what they were used for. Lynn

The top one was nicknamed the knuckle-buster for a valid reason.

I'm assuming the 9N one came factory with the 9N tractor.

That tool is commonly called a plow gauge was used to measure the plow depth. It was sized to fit a lot of the bolts on the N tractors. Although it kept the 9N part number, it also came with an 8N. Not sure if it was issued with the 2N since that during the war. There was a set of Ford branded tools that came with an 8N https://fordtractorcollectors.com/tool-kit/ Also some tools came with The Model T & A also come with a Ford branded tool kit. I have most of an incomplete set on my 8N.

The top 5 are Model T or A.

I recognize some that came with my Model T Ford. Couldn’t tell you what they were for— plenty of things broke, but I used modern tools to fix.

The 8N my father bought new came with a 5/8" by 11/16" offset like the second and third from the top. The two sizes fit almost all the fasteners on the 8N.

Third from bottom is a Ferguson plow wrench. Second from top is ford tractor spark plugs wrench. Most others are t model.

Sorry! My bad.
Didn't realize Ford didn't change the part number.

Thank you all. Lynn

Tony in SD That link showed some of the tools that I have. The kit had the 17017B. The third tool down doesn't have the B. Got 2 wrenches and took a photo of one to put on the other thread of new tools I found. Put the other one on here tomorrow. Lynn
