Guess The Tool

[Snoots]

the torque on the damper bolt is 460 lb/ft

Are you freaking kidding me!?

Well,... plus or minus 60 lb/ft. Fortunately there's no PTO on the engine. For that they recommend 700 lb/ft.

What sort of engine is that?

That is a Parker Par-Lok wrench, should be part number 860062-24. Mostly used on hydraulic fittings. Have a full set of those at work.
Not sure if you can still get them, Parker is now Parker-Hannifin.

Damn, it's rated for far more torque than I would have expected. Good to know!

Here's one I concocted today. It was made for one purpose, but could be used for another one as well.

Neither one is likely to be too challenging, but it won't hurt to give the thread a boost.

Manual engine starter... for real men. Flip that bitch over Luke...(haha a punchline for a Jean Tracy joke).

That's the other purpose.

I made it to hold the flywheel in position while torqueing the damper because the torque on the damper bolt is 460 lb/ft and I didn't think sticking a screwdriver in the teeth would be good enough. But yes, it could be used to bar the engine over too.

Or to bust some annoying **** in the mouth too!!lol

It's for the 3208 CATs in my boat. The starter snout and pinion is from a Delco 40MT.

AFAIK the next, and biggest step up is a 50MT which will start a locomotive engine if two of them gang up on it.

These are made by the L.S. Starrett tool company. The longer one is 12" long and the shorter one is 5". They have rubber tips but you can remove the tips to reveal sharp points. The handles are fixed to the base and don't move. The shafts can be turned by hand which slowly rotates the dials on the side. Interestingly, the smaller one rotates the chrome inner circle with the Starrett logo and the numbers remain stationary. The larger one rotates the numbers while the inner circle with the hash marks remains stationary.

You're either a machinist or just good with google image search.

No Google image search. I work at a regrind shop regrinding and making endmills, drills, reamers, and all kind of other things for primarily Boeing, and I just have an interest in machining and machine tools.

I had a revelation a couple of days ago about this thing so I thought I'd post it here.

It was kicking around in my father's tool box for decades and I never could figure it out. Then I stumbled across something on the internet and now I finally know what it is.

Anybody else have an idea?:

The front end has expanding jaws, and there is a drill bit hidden in the adjusting screw:

The drill bit has a hole through the web near the tip, which I still don't really understand the reason for, but I have a guess.

Before anybody says it's something like an anal speculum,... it's not. I just figured I'd get that out of the way.

This thing baffled me for years. Now it's your turn. But I won't make you wait that long for the answer.

Watch back remover.

The hole is probably to pull a wire after you drill the hole, but I have no idea what the rest does.
