Model T Adjustable Wrench Question

Post by Mark Osterman » Tue Oct 03, 2023 8:49 pm

Bear with me and read the following carefully.

The “Ford Script” adjustable wrench came in different forms … and then there are post model T forms. I believe the typical wrench for model Ts had the Ford script stamped on the non moving upper jaw. I was given to believe that a wrench with the same stamping but with a squared boss on the bottom of the handle was for the 1926-27 oil plug on the rear axle. And finally … if the knurled adjustable moving jaw of the wrench was stamped Ford USA … and it had the squared boss on the bottom of the handle … it was for a model A or later.

Is this accurate?
