What Is It - Tool(s)?

[Tom Bowman]

My dad was cleaning out an old cabinet in the shed, and found this. It would have been there for years, and he's not sure where it came from, or when. (My granddad could have bought it in a box of junk at an auction somewhere - just a guess).
It was all together in a pouch. The open end wrench (8/10mm) says "Heyco" and "West Germany". The gauge-looking thing has 30 and 35 degree markings (the slots), and there's a slot in the end marked "0.65". (mm?) There's also an Allen wrench, the hook thing, a puller (?), and a locknut wrench (?) Maybe chainsaw related?

Could possibly motorcycle related as well.

The hook could be for hooking up the spring for a headlight bucket on the old round, glass headlamps.

Looks chainsaw related
The angle30 and 35 is chain sharpening
The treaded plug looks like a piston stop
the rest,I have no Idea !!!

I would say chain saw tools - the gauge with degree markings is for teeth setting, the threaded plug is for a piston stop to remove flywheel nut, hook is to get the gas line filter out of tank. the allen
wrench and open end wrench is common on chain saws.

That is a tool kit for a chain saw.
A)The plug/puller looking thing is a cylinder stop that you install in the spark plug hole to hold/lock the crankshaft. The piston comes up against the stop plug.

B) The thin wrench is to remove some thing from that crankshaft. It could be the rope pull rewind. B&S used a larger wrench kind of like that one on their rewind housings. This wrench is made for a three lobe item. The B&S ones where for a four lobe nut/rewind. The thin wrench could also have removed the flywheel to access the points too. Remember older saws without solid state electronics had to have the points serviced regularly.

C) The allen wrench is for case screws/bolts. The end wrench is for the common bolts on the saw.

D) The hook is for fishing the fuel line/filter out of the fuel tank.

E) The gauge is for hand sharpening a chainsaw chain. The straight end is to clean out the bar.

As for what brand of chainsaw???? The thin wrench would be the item I think would only work on a single brand of saw. So it would be where I would start to track down the brand.

Sorry andyt(PA) for kind of duplicating your post. You type faster than I do. LOL

Thanks for the info, all. I'm sure we don't have a chainsaw that would use that kit.

The tool on the lower right looks like what Stihl makes, if not, its very similar. If the end you can't see has a slot in it, that is to check depth gauges (rakers) to see if they project above and need to be filed down until even. I have a piece of wire in my tool kit to fish out the filter in the fuel tank, though it stays clean, good to have when you do want to change it.

 

[T.R.K.]

Definitely chainsaw tools. The upper tool takes off a 3-jaw clutch. The hook will pull the fuel filter out of the fuel tank.
The allen wrench, or is is Torx? is for the screws. The hex threaded plug if a piston stop, used with tool #1 to remove the clutch. The last tool is a tooth filing gauge.

almost any saw will need those tools & they're about the only tools most people will ever need.

Thanks again, all.
How does the gauge work? Here's a better picture.

From my Stihl dealer's books late 70s early 80s.

That's great, JDEM - Thanks. I'm going to print out those photos.
