Are you sure the second word is not Manseur?   Cast iron wrenchs are usually refered to as farm.  early farm equipment used class nothing fits on bolts and threads so that weather and rust didn't prevent disassembly once broke loose the nut would practically spin itself of and fall to the ground even after 100 yrs.  As a kid spent lotsa time fixing old wore out farm equipment so we could harvest the next crop..   Chuck Garrett

Deere & Marseilles. Deere and Mansur was a different division. The 773 wrench is Marseilles.

There is a way to guarantee that the second half of the wrench will show up.

Throw away the first half.

The second half will show up the next day....

Every time.

My thinking exactly.
