Top of pagePrevious messageNext messageBottom of page Link to this message  By Dave Huson (Modelt12) on Friday, April 18, 2003 - 07:57 pm:

A friend bought a bunch of early tools and would like to know what a couple of them are. This tool is 6 & 1/2" long, Has coarse theads in both ends and appears to be some kind of puller. The ID is about 1.140. the T handle is threaded and screws inside. The number is TSE602 D. It has a large factory stamped R on one end and L on the other end. Both ends are identical except for the left and right threads.

This is the tool tool

This is a guess, but #2 looks like a device for taking up the slack in an industrial drive chain (maybe to get it apart??), or maybe for a chain drive truck (or car)... pin and hole hold part of the chain, the fork holds the other, and squeezing the handle would bring the 2 loose ends together.

Sue, you are genius.

My suggestion could be instantly confirmed or refuted by looking inside the hex tube, but tool #1 appears to be a device for flaring a brass or copper gas line. The tube would be inserted from the top, and the T handle screwed in to press the end of the brass or copper tube against an internal conical seat, and then after withdrawing the T handle, the tube could be withdrawn from the same end it was inserted into.

I could use a master link tool like #2 if the owner would care to sell it, for my 1914 dual chain drive Auto Buggy. I haven't had time to restore it yet.

Dave H., I re-read your description of #1 and it appears the T handle has nothing to do with the hex tube. I'll stick to my suggestion that the T handle may be part of a flare tool, but the hex tube with right and left coarse threads can only be a tightening device - not really a tool at all, but a part of an adjustable unit. My IHC illustrated above has just such a part for adjusting the distance from the rear axle to the transverse differential chain drive sprocket shaft (and thereby adjusting the chain tension), and likewise for adjusting the tension on the brake line.

I'd think the hex tube with Right and left hand thread is a puller to pull new lug bolts into place. Many of the non-ford cars have right and left hand threads depending on which side of the car you are on. What do ya' think?
