What is this set for
« on: May 28, 2012, 12:11:18 PM »
Found this set a little while back.  It is marked Owatonna Tool Company.  Set 818.  It is a set to punch or press something?  I am thinking to press in bushings, but I'm not sure.
Any ideas?
Jim

Looks more like punches to knock bearings out of their housings, e.g. motorcycle crankcases - similar looking sets of tool were also used to align clutch plates between the flywheel and the pressure plate...

It is a cam bearing installation set. If you decide to sell it, I would be a buyer.

Considering that not all the cam bearings in any given engine are the same size and the thousands of different engine designs that have been made that is not very many cam bearing tools. This set would not be enough to install all cam bearings in all engines but would probably do most older american made engines, which is what I work on exclusively.

Is it "Owatonna" and not Owatonno? There was a Owatonna Tool Company right here in Minnesota. I think they were Lesota Tool before that but that's going back a ways...

 Yes they are Owatonna Tool Co located in Owatonna, Mn. Since I recently acquired an Owatonna tool box and I already owned a Owatonna punch I'm actively (not too actively) collecting Owatonna tools. They have a good reputation and are not cheap on the secondary market. (around here)

I never had an OTC marked tool that wasn't splendid!
  Kind of a quiet company, they seem to rely on word of mouth between mechanics.
They sure have my vote of confidence, tell you that.

It is listed in my OTC catalog (No. 49-J, but no date) as a bushing driver with 13 driving collars and 2 handles in metal case.

Looks like I only have 11 out of the 13 drive collars.  The other 2 should be no problem finding...Ha!
