Title: AJ81 Socket
Post by: OilyRascal on January 10, 2013, 07:03:58 PM: I continue to seek assistance with identifying the maker, and any special applications, for this socket marked only "AJ81". It measures 6" long, and has a 1-1/2" flat-to-flat measurement on the business end and 7/8" across the flat of the other.

I'd appreciate any assistance that might be provided.

1-1/2" large? Not questioning your knowledge rather making sure you caught the size.....I don't know early tractors.

It sure seems, based on appearances, you are correct Eddie.......although the model number contstruct of those I'm finding do seem different.
