the Walden-Worcester 3620 wrench is 15/16" and 5/8" and was made for sparkpluds
and the cylinder head bolts.

I believe that there is one on my Ford "T"  tool board.

OilyRascal,  I stand to be corrected,  in my mind, I thought my tool board had a 3620, but
it does not.  although I have a 3620 wrench.

I believe my tool board is from 1917 ?    I am still missing a few wrenches on it.

the 1923 Walden listing has the 3620 listed for Ford,  the 5/8" fits the cylinder head capbolts,
water cylinder inlet & water cylinder outlet.
15/16" fits the sparkplug.       cost;   80 cents

the 3620 will also fit the 1923 Dort & 1923 Gray auto's

Turnnut-

Could you post a pic of your tool board? I have about 40 or so ford tools piled up. I'm curious as to which ones were T and which were A model tools.

I'm always bemused by people wanting to stick an "H" in the middle of Worcester -- must conflate it with that steak sauce or something.
Don Snyder's books make the mistake fairly often; it is a common mistake.  As picky as the post office is getting, I wonder if they refuse delivery of mail with the city's name spelled wrong?

Keykeeper,  I will get back to you on your request.

my original 1917 ? tool board has all the wrenches taken off.  I have to make some mounting hooks.
the originals were all missins, as were the tools.  I think it hold 13 diff. styles. and I have only
5 or 6 of the 13.   I will be looking for the missing ones.

when I was in Maine this summer, I visited a shop that I had been in years ago, The guy took me
to a bunch of buckets to look thru, I picked out 7 or 8 not knoing how much he wanted, and I did
not have a list of my wants with me.  he looked at the rusty wrenches and asked if $5 would be ok.
after I paid him, he put them in a bag and handed me a wet wipe, yup, my hands were rusty.

I have to wait for my wife to help me put on a picture.

Keykeeper, I have a Model T parts book that was printed in 1928. It has all of the tools in it. If you'd like, I can scan it and post it for you.

I would appreciate seeing it, John.  Like others, I have a pile of "FORD" tools I would like to someday figure out.
