Title: Farmers Ever-Ready Toolkit
Post by: moparthug on July 15, 2023, 01:52:40 PM

Just picked this up, there are a few for sale on-line but no one seems to know anything about them. I'm looking for a manufacture, date range, and if there are any other tools made by this company. Thanks!

OK.  I'll ask the obvious question:  What is the purpose of the yoke at the end of the handle?

I believe it is used as an alligator style wrench.

Yes, it's an alligator wrench on the end, flat head screwdriver on the other handle end. Plus an axe, hammer, plyers, wire cutters and a wire crimper (I think).

When I saw this, immediately thought, whats a farmer need to get up and running, or least get it back to the barn.  In the past, 2 Crescent wrenches, pliers, heavy screwdriver, 3lb. hammer.  Duct tape and 10 ft. of baling wire.   Today, cell phone, laptop, and maybe a screwdriver.  ?

Yes, the screwdriver is to pop off the cover so he can replace the disc battery on his remote door opener.  I suspect modern tractors have remotes for some such thing.
