Caille outboard wrench
« on: June 18, 2014, 11:05:50 PM »
Hello all, I have been looking for one of these for years. This wrench shows on the parts listings for the 1920 (ish) Caille Liberty Outboard motor. From the parts sheet illustration I'm guessing on the actual size being about 6 inch long. Also a guess that the big hex opening is 1 -1/8" , this based on the fact that that was a common size for the spark plug in use back then. Also a guess that this is a plain stamped wrench. The distinctive feature is the slot in the handle, again guessing that that was for use on the several wing nuts on this motor.
I'm looking to buy one... any chance that you have one kicking around? email at fixerjo@sbcglobal.net or PM me.

Never did hear back from "bird"... so I'm still looking for the elusive Caille wrench. Any help would be much appreciated.

Bird flits in and out on an irregular basis. Hope she remembers this and responds.

been a little over a year since I first posted this, thought it's time to "run it up the flag pole" again.  Any chance a wrench like pictured showed up in the bottom of that rusty bucket of treasure?

Hi dear, glad you posted this again. But, bad news... I got out all of my bike wrenches and couldn't find that exact wrench. I'm sorry!!! I'll keep a lookout for it, though
Cheers
