Ford Tool Identification

[Chris Haynes]

I've been picking up Ford tools for quite a while. How do I identify them? Model T, Model A, Fordson?

Model T tools generally start with a T prefix. I assume Model A are the same but don't know for sure.

I have quite a few of those pictured, and then some. I assume that only one crank/lug wrench depending on year and month built.

Interesting. There used to be a guy older than me over around Zanesville, OH that I would see at cruise-ins, and car shows with his A. He had a cabinet he made much like a wooden briefcase, and had then all attached to it with brass straps.

Many of the T tools would start with 3Z or 5Z as part of the tool number.

Ford hand tools all have similarity from the model T era through the N-series tractors. In the 50s somewhere FoMoCo replaced the Ford script on tractor tools. Ford supplied the small hand tools till the end of the 59A engine era for cars and light trucks. Tractors kept them longer. The tire pump, grease gun, and hand crank started to disappear after 1936 or so but were still supplied on export models from the US and Canada until after 1948. The tractor tool sets seemingly always has at least one tool for plow adjustment that had distance markings along it's length.
