What system?

Obviously I am part of a tool kit! With who?

What am I capable of?

I have markings on either side in both metric and imperial graduations.
What is the reason for these graduations?

What sizes? Do the open enders fit four different sizes? Bike spanners?

No..two sizes 11/16 and 1 1/16
Not a bike!

Your thinking of the old BSA hub/cone spanners
Good try!

Ah, so this is a quiz and you already have the answer. I guess we'll have to wait for Brian H to rise from his slumber to get the good oil. ;)

These belong to a grey fergy tractor

Graduations on open enders are for measureing fuel in fuel tank . As well as in inches & cm's

The Ferguson system.

Fitting every nut & bolt on the tractor that the average cocky will need to undo.

I have not seen the ring spanner before, is that an original Fergie part?

Cheers,
Mick.

Gary and Mick you are both correct, well done!
The ring spanner is also Fergy, I think most likely from a later model like the 35 or 135 and it does not have the graduations to measure fuel, but it is the same size as the open ender. So probally from a model that was fitted with a fuel gauge. This spanner is suposedly all you need to do just about anything required on the tractor.
I have a few Gary but they are not for sale, however there is one up for auction on E-Bay at present with a buy now price tag of $40.

While we are talking about Fergy's, do you know what the other intended use of the dip stick is?

The ring spanner is also for the Grey Fergy but not as common as the open enders. Have both with my Grey.

The open enders changed very little from Ferguson Brown ( plough/ tractor ) - Ford Ferguson - Ferguson ( tractor spanners ). Markings on spanners changed. Somewhere on the net I have seen a run down of nearly all the different varieties.

Here's some

May have been wrong about the Ferguson Brown bit as I cant find what I was after. Will have to look in my Fergy books later.

I don't know about the dipstick, but my dad always said the crank handle was there for killing snakes.:D

Well, I would have aid they obviously formed part of an OEM tool kit supplied with a vehicle. Those cheap heavy black spanners were beloved of pommie manufacturers. The shiny one is likewise obviously made that way for access to a particular item.

A ruler would have been handy to give something to scale against. No way of telling they were quite large if they are 11/16 & 1 1/16"

I have never had anything to do with Ferguson tractorsa so would never have recognised them.

Does anyone remember the early Fordson tractor toolkits with all the spanners numbered. The workshop manual referred to their use by the number. "Take the No. 4 wrench and remove the coupling" etc.
