Hub puller I.D.

Post by 70shovelhead » Mon Jul 01, 2019 1:44 pm

Can anyone tell me which of the pullers in this pic is a T hub puller. Maybe they both are. How much of this tool collection is Model T? I have a chance to buy them all but mostly concerened about the pullers.

The hub puller on the right looks like T.
Got any measurements ?
The T handle wrench may be wire wheel Lug nuts.

The hub puller on the right is a T hub puller. I have one just like it. It has the Ford script on it. Not sure if the other one is T. If it’s a
Ford puller it should have Ford script on it I would think.
Model T tool “sets” show up from time to time with period correct tools but not necessarily a Ford tool set. Some of the tools may not be Ford branded in this group.

Check the threads in the pullers. Very few cars had the fine threads that Henyy used on his hubcaps. Of the wrenches on the right, the third one down is a TT plug and wheel nut wrench. The next is an earlier incarnation of the same tool for a T. The flat 4 hole piece is a T hubcap and other wrench. Of the open end spanners, the top one looks like a T1917 band adjusting tool. That very lightweight end is only to be used on the spring loaded nut inside the transmission on the reverse and brake bands on a LHD car.

I may have missed some.

I did miss the Ford script pliers. They are T model. The adjustable wrench with the square end was introduced with the 26-7 model Ts. The square end fits the diff filler plug This same tool carried over into the A model era.

If you flip over the T combination wrench, I believe you will notice the 2 upsets opposite each other for the front wheel bearings - that's intended for Ford wire wheel front hubs.

Steve Tomaso is right about the variety of wrenches. There are lots of different hub pullers for lots of different vehicles in lots of different sizes. Most I've seen are unidentified. Measure carefully and check the threads with a pitch gauge before you buy. The pitch on Model T hubs is 24 tpi. Width is 2¹⁄₈".

Thanks for posting that. I have a very nice puller that does not fit T or TT. Maybe this will help.
