Most of of the ones I have seen were larger. I like the shear, but you weren’t supposed to tell us what it was yet. I would like to see the other side of it? That’s a pretty old one I’d say.

You are close, it’s a ball oiler for those little ball spring oil ports on machines tools mainly anymore ,but they used to show up on printing machines and other old moving iron. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armstrong was the Toolmaker of choice for several of the USA made machine tool manufacturers. Outfits like Kearney and Trecker manufactured every piece of their machine tools , right down to every last bolt. When it came to the tool kit the wrenches were often Armstrong. The shear appears to be a dedicated rod shear? 1/2” capacity? Thanks for the picture . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT Fan Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 I've seen crimpers like that before, not sure what they do? Must be above my pay grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iowaboy1965 Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 What is this? Been around for years and never really been sure what all its suppose to do. The one end looks like it's for breaking Square chains apart. Part of it looks to be for sickel section repair maybe? But not sure what all the various portions are suppose to do.

I’d say it’s for sickle sections. I see places to set rivets and things like that. Never seen one with that many functions though. Mine says “chain detacher” on the other side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledgehammer Posted September 20 Author Share Posted September 20 It says “marking outfit for anything metal” on the lid. Military green. They are 1/8” metal stamps I know but it came with jigs for marking specific things. I’d love to know what else should have been in the “kit”. Maybe a hammer? This came from a local sale. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must of been the New Holland swather needed a new radiator at the end of the season. They are a major improvement over any other kind of pilers I have tried, on a spring cllamp. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake19917561 Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 Ok so this looks like a speed tool to me how about y’all? One side is 3/8 the other 5/16 no ball detents or maybe y’all know what it is. No markings anywhere on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captian Kirk Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 Might be a chuck wrench for a lathe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
