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.
What years are they? Why are they different sizes?

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.

Do you know who it is?

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.

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.

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

Here's a picture of the top of the larger wrench.

I think they are T, pre26.
I wonder if the larger one is Fordson?

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.

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.
