Overland wrench
« on: May 17, 2013, 10:58:05 AM »
 Bought this Overland wrench ;one listed on e-bay as water pump wrench ? Can anyone confirm proper usage.
Marquette wrenchs and S wrench came along with it. Marquette wrenchs seem to be valve stem wrenchs;since one is so marked.
The S wrench is quite thick 3/8 on ends and 1/4 in middle. I,ve seen this wrench somewhere but memory has a divot there.

I have no info on the Overland wrench, but here is my grandfather, Clyde Madara at work in the Overland repair facility in Houston, Texas in 1916.

I posted a pic of my Overland wrench here a few months back.  Am guessing it came in the tool kit, and from the shape of that odd end, my bet it was for tightening the water pump packing.

Does that fellow 3rd from the left have a bow tie on with all that grease on him?
Must of been a classy gentleman.

Yep! Back in the day the men often worked in a shirt and tie.
