Ihc is correct. One on right looks like 30011D which was Farmall F-12 and F-14 Starting crank and drawbar wrench. Also shown on Irps list with single end like your wrench on left hand and with  part number 30011DA for 460 and 560.

Let me guess, they were straight when you brought them home, right.
Making her do all the yard work while you play.

Naw, not showing our age.  It shows our survivability!

They won't run Roadrunner cartoons any more?  Too violent?  Have they looked at the "action movies" in the past 30 years?  Sheesh!

The one on the left looks like the wrench that came with our IHC mounted two row corn picker.   There was a bolt on the mounting bracket that absolutely required that wrench, nearly impossible to get at.

Like Jimwrench said, The double ended one on the right is shown in parts books for IHC Farmall F-12 and F-14 tractors as No. 30011D, a combination starting crank and drawbar wrench. The single ended one on the left is listed as No. 30011DA - drawbar wrench used on IHC Farmall H, HV, M, MV, MDV, SM, SM-TA, SMD, SMV, 300, 300F, 400, 400F, 460, and 560 tractors.

I can't find them in any of the IHC Corn Picker Parts Lists in Gil Irps' book.

The drawbar bolted to the same place on the axle, as the mounting bracket for the cornpicker.  The cornpicker went to the scrappers years ago, but I have the wrench in the barn.

That explains why the wrench isn't shown in the corn pickers parts lists. It came with the tractors not the corn pickers.
