I have seen the usual five Delco Light Plant Wrenches.
(I am omitting any mention of small ignition or magneto style wrenches for this post.)
No. 28248 and No. 28282, both marked "DELCO LIGHT PLANT"
Also No. 90257, 90258, and 95095, all not marked Delco but understood to be.
All five have some usage marked on both sides such as: "Connecting Rod", or "Spark Plug", or whatever.
I have recently seen another wrench No. 96080, though the numbering is not crystal clear. Could be 95080 or something else.
It certainly looks like it belongs with the others.
A closed hex opening at each end.
Usage is "BASE PLATE SCREWS" and "MOTOR MOUNTING SCREWS".
Sorry, no picture capability at the moment.
ANYONE EVER SEEN OR HEARD OF THIS WRENCH?
Is this a sixth Delco Light Plant Wrench?

A few years ago i had a Delco little Joe light plant ( generator). Delco is short for Detroit Light Company. I have since sold it, but may still have some pictures of it.

I have found a wrench that is clearly marked 90559.
It appears to be similar to the one identified as 90569 but appears to be 90859 in the photo.
The one I have has the right angle socked ‘equalized’ rather than offset like the one in the photo.
It is about 7.25 OAL and both sockets are about 3/4.
What exactly is pictured above? 90569 or 90859 or ???
What exactly do I have? A variation of the above, (like the 90258 wrenches)?
Or is this something else?
-
Some of the Delco wrenches were apparently made by Dayton, and have a circle around the letter D for a logo.
The 90258 wrenches have a logo that looks somewhat like a maltese cross.
Does anyone know who the manufacturer of those 90258 wrenches could be?
Can anyone provide a copy of "Pg. 11, Sept 2008 MVWC Newsletter devoted to DELCO wrenches"?
Thanks

RE pg. 11, Sept 2008 MVWC Newsletter -- the lists & photos supplied by "Bus" in this discussion thread are better than that long ago page.

I found a wrench that may be what was reported by Bob Wickes as mentioned above.
95961 - ECCENTRIC & GEAR NUT 95961 / Connecting Rod Screw (Bob Wickes had on ToolTalk Aug 12, 2013
The usage is the same but this wrench is clearly marked 95591.
Is this the same wrench but mis-identifed in 2012?
Or is this yet another previous un-reported wrench?

Here 12 wrenches that I have gathered. They all seem to be similar in nature and may all be Delco related.
Pic 2 common 90257 and common 90258 with centered lug.
Pic 3 heavier R752 and heavier 90258 with offset lug.
Pic 4 spark plug 28248 and even heavier conn rod 90559.
Pic 5 95095 and open end 93704.
Pic 6 elusive 95591 and box end 93704.
Pic 7 28282 and 96080.
Anyone know of any others?
Anyone know of solid evidence to exclude these as Delco related?
Anyone know which wrenches might have been supplied, or intended, for which particular light plant?

Thanks four.cycle.
Every little bit helps. These models only show the two wrenches.
I guess you are the same four.cycle over at GJ ?? I see your posts over there quite often.
(I'm leg17 over there. I got tangled up here after Noel passed away and had to re-register with a new name.)
