IHC Tool

[J.A.F.E.]

I have no idea what this is for but it's a neat piece. I'd appreciate any information. Also may put it up for sale so any idea of value? Other than IHC the only marking is U50.

That would be a small alien.

But in all seriousness..... Gas wrench? (Just a guess)

Rathbone lists 2 as sold for $5.00 and $12.50 back when tools were valuable.

Bus will probably know...

It's apparently listed in Rathbone along with the other half (U51) - which you're apparently missing - as R1-255. Here's a picture from The Wrenching News:

It's used in the McCormick-Deering seeding drills.

J.A.F.E., I have never been introduced to your little green friend. What is his story?

[J.A.F.E.]

Thanks for the answers and thanks lbgradwell and Bear.

These IHC tools are pretty scarce in the middle of Los Angeles.

That's T.L.G.G. - The Little Green Guy. He's a ham for the camera when I take tool pics.

Not to be confused with TBGG (The Big Green Guy)

I rather like Gumby, thanks rusty.

The first clue for me was IHC- International Harvester Company. Probably a machine specific tool

[tompepper]

That wrench was for a seeder/planter.the hook on the end was for opening burlap sacks.

[rusty]

Ahh! , I always wondered why some farm wrenches had that odd little hook thinggy...

J.A.F.E. pm your address .  I think I have a Spare U51.  If I have I'll send it to you so you will have a complete tool..

[Wrenchmensch]

U50 & U51 were IHC cream separator  wrenches.

[J.A.F.E.]

Stoney that is most kind of you. PM sent.

Wrenchmensch thank you for the info.
