haha. its still pretty cool. was in the '41 Fordor i got from the junkyard. trying to get it freed up. maybe I'll use it on the farm. i need a fence.
i googled antique fence pullers/stretchers and dont see anything that looks like that. the 2 bottom legs fold out (if they were free)

Thats one of the best looking watchamacallits I've seen in long time. You should be proud to own it....Mark
 
I'm amazed it was is as good a shape as it is. Was buried on the floor boards of that 41 under a bunch of wet leaves. I'll hang it on the wall with the rest of the whatchamacallits, thingamajigs, and doohickeys..
 
Cool thingy - never saw one of those.

Anyone with an antique ford truck has gotta look up fence pullers.....
 
It looks like the two legs come apart to make a 3 legged setup. It looks like it is configured for pulling rather than pushing, so more likely a rim contracting device rather than a spreader as such.

Interesting old thingamajig.

great movie,four old timers to change a tire! Hope they aren't getting paid by the hour. But that's how the rim jack is used,it is a bear of a job without it.Phil
 
Actually I did enjoy the music! Thanks for the link. It's amazing how things have advanced over the years.

I must be the exception. Have both, fence stretchers and a rim jack. Have used both. Many days growing up were spent fixing fence. Did not use a rim jack until a couple of years ago although we always had a rim jack. Much more fun to use a rim jack than fence stretchers. Rod
