tools for the 28' ford

This is all detailed very well in the Restoration Guidelines and Judging Standards, but a quick overview is ther was the Instruction Book (Owners manual) along with a Tool bag that had a Grease Gun, an Adjustable Wrench, a wrench for the cylinder head nuts that doubled as a spark plug wrench, Pliers, two small open end wrenches, a Screwdriver, a Jack, a Tire Iron, a Tire Pump, a Crank that also served as a wheel lugnut tool, ...and depending on how early your vehicle was manufactured, possibly an Oil Can. (I think I got all of them)
 
I have a early 1928 AR and the wheel nuts are 11/16 " .The cranks are for 13/16" .What wrench is used to remove the wheels ?
 
I have yet to find a crank that will fit a 11/16 wheel nut . I am the second owner of this car and it is all original . All the crank type wheel wrenches I have seen are 13/16".
 
Depending on just when your Phaeton was built will tell a lot about what & which tool you need.. Some had a Ford Script, some not..Some cad. plated, some plain, and some painted black..The V-Early tire pump has one foot Ford Script on it & not brass.. Yes the early cranks are hard to find & if script, usually very expensive !!..

There was an NOS one at the St Cloud swap meet about 5 years ago, and I was a fool to not buy it for $15. I would give Don Turley a call, or try Bert's in Denver. 800-321-1931
