K.R.Wilson. B.V. 20 Puller

[EAV8]

I cannot find this tool in my (3) K R Wilson catalogs. Can anyone tell me the function and year it was used. Thanks

I had a KRW tool I could not identify also. It turns out Old KRW made tools for other makes. I had a very special tool for setting the end play on Packard crankshafts. There was a large "P" on the tool as well as the number. I donated it to a Packard club.
At first glance it looked like part of a Norden bomb sight!

BV-20 shows up in the K.R.Wilson catalogs in the 1930s. Its function is a steering sector arm puller.

do you have a picture?

From a K.R. Wilson catalog.

Thanks David! Is there an adapter cup next to the end of the sector shaft?

 

[DavidG]

There's a cup there to center the threaded shaft of the tool and to protect the threads on the end of the sector gear shaft.

The one on fleabay is missing the protective collar.

Thanks David. I am missing that “cup” or “protective collar” if anyone has one.

may find a replacement in a new C-clamp, remove and fit to your BV20 then peen in place.

The original might have a small point on the adaptor to engage in the center drilling in the end of the pitman shaft.

The protector cup can be turned on a lathe, possibly the only easily remade part in the tool assembly.
