Title: Willys - Overland wrench
Post by: JoeCB on March 24, 2014, 09:58:18 PM

Just found this at the local flea mkt... looks kinda' primitive, flat about 7/32 thick,   stamped "Willys- Overland"    sizes ... 5/8 " and 15/16" (strange)

The Willys - Overland plant was in Toledo. Now demolished except for the old brick boiler house chimney that still stands as a landmark, it's still embaazoned with the word "Overland" and can be seen as you pass by on I-75, I wonder how many "kids" have any idea of the history of that old factory site.

Not sure what the intended purpose was , but 5/8" is usually head bolts , and 15/16" spark plugs
in the teens and twenties era.

15/16" is normal SAE hex for 5/8 bolt.
