I have a very long speed wrench.

This thing measures 38 5/8 inches long, tip to tip.

It is marked Ford in the script logo and 5-Z-1531-DET-   6

This wrench also has an 'M' in a diamond marking, and if I'm not mistaken, is Moore, right?

On the end of this speed wrench, is a fixed 6 sided socket with a 7/8" opening.

I think this wrench has a 5 inch swing.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND HELP!!!!!!

For what its worth, after much deliberation, I decided to sell the Ford 5-Z1531-DET-6 speed wrench that I had.

It sold for about $55 on ebay in an auction.

I sent an email to the buyer asking about this wrench, and he replied:

I have a large collection of Ford tools, I have quite a few that are similar but none that are as long as this one.  This wrench is listed as a dealership service tool for the Fordson tractor, but the list I have dose not say what specific use it has. This tool is from around 1927.

Of course, I really know very little about Ford tools and wrenches, but found this interesting.

Thanks again for your replies!!!!!! I really do appreciate them!!!!

I am the one that bought it. It is a very nice wrench and makes a great addition to my collection. When it showed up on ebay I was wondering if it was the same wrench that was discussed here.

It is a small world, isn't it?

Thank you for the help in identifying it, and thank you for your purchase. I really do appreciate it!!!!
