Ford T tool kit research/guidelines
« on: April 20, 2016, 11:03:32 PM »
Not hard fact, just a guide to model year correct kits.

   Any omissions or errors please chime in.  The main source of info is period Ford service bulletins.

The only bad tool is the one that couldn't finish the job.  Ironicly it may be the best tool for the next job.

I always have trouble with pictures on this site.   Feel free to copy these and flip them topside up.

Sorry guys.

Copy it, spread it around, make it presentable or whatever valid use you can find for it.

     Much thanks to the fine folks at the MTFCA forums for making copies of the original documents available online.   this would not be possible for me without their help.

strike9, thanks for the research and posting. Around the Detroit area we encounter a lot of the "Ford" tools at garage sales etc. Any chance that your research has extended the tool kit info out thru the Model A (1928-31) era?

The T era was 19 years, the A was 3.   The. A tool list was unchanged during production.   One big and critical detail is the Ford script was not specifically required and a lot of similar tools could have been, or possibly were not in Ford kits. 

    I have really been unable to know for sure with the loose wrenches because most didn't have part numbers either.
     The best info I have found for lists is the MAFCA forum and posted lists for concours grade competition.

Just getting back to this thread... Thanks strik9. No Ford script required; well that explains why I see lots of tools that appear to be
"Ford kit" tools, some even have a bit of black paint but no Ford Script.
