Picked up a box filled with some Allis wheel wrenches along with some I don't know what they are for. Can anyone help ID these? 1st one one the left has a 1 1/8" hex head, 2nd has 1 1/2" hex on the large end and 3/4" square on the small end. 3rd I didn't check the size. 4th looks very similar to my D17 IV wheel wrench except only 11 1/2" long and 1 1/8 hex on the larger end with 15/16" on the smaller end. Thanks, Dave

| Any help with this? Suspect the first three may be JD related, as there was some JD stuff at the auction, also. |

| One on the right my dad always carried in the the 10 wheeler truck as a tire wrench. Not sure that was what it was made for but thats what he used it for. There should be another with it. Straight shaft to slide through the hole and it had another "socket" one the one end. This way you had 3 different sizes to chose from. |

| I agree, they look like truck lug wrenches to me. I have no idea about the one on the right, it's pretty interesting though. |

| when i was a kid, i changed hundreds of 10.00/20 tires on tractor trailers with a lug wrench that looked just like the one on the right. we didn't know what air compressors and air tools were!! we didn't have the fancy 2nd piece that todd had, we just stuck a bar thru the hole. alan |

| Thanks for the responses. As I had seen one like the one on the right before at another Allis auction, I thought it might be something AC related - was hoping anyway. And it looked so similar to the D17/180 wrenches I had, . . . |
