Now I know what I am looking for. It just might work for me. Even if it doesn't, it looks like a good wrench to have in my inventory. Thank you. Barry Quote
Don Coatney Posted January 27, 2014 Report Posted January 27, 2014 I have such a wrench. Manufactured by Electrolite Corporation, Defiance, Ohio. The flip side says Starter, Manifold, 9/16" X 5/8". 1 Quote
58prostreet Posted January 27, 2014 Report Posted January 27, 2014 The Sears wrench is called an obstruction wrench. If you look at the Sears description, it says "obstructuion wrench for going around obstructions". I guess the title is a mistake. Bob Quote

I just thought it funny that a large retailer like that would have a typo on their website. Don't they have spell check? Quote
desoto1939 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Posted January 27, 2014 you can pick up these wrench at your local swap meets. Eventhe cheaper wrenchs are ok so long as you do not beat on them. Th bolts to hold onthe starters do not have to be held in place with a lot of force. Just have them snug and tight. This isa wrench that is not used allthe time but when you need it you need it to do the job in those tight areas.. Like Don showed the wrench also can be used to get to the bolts inthe manifold just to get a short throw onthe nut or bolt. Rich Hartung Quote

Rich Hartung I just ordered the wrench from Sears. $15.58 with shipping and tax. I suspect that if I went to our local Sears store I would have to buy the entire set for about $94. Barry Quote
Barry Maxwell Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Posted January 29, 2014 To All: The wrench mentioned in the previous post arrived and it WORKS! Slow, but it works. Thank you. Barry 1 Quote
desoto1939 Posted January 29, 2014 Report Posted January 29, 2014 This would be one wrench if they made it with the internal racket system like some of the other box and closed end wrenchs would really be a big help and time saver and also aggrevation saver. But how many of these would they sell is the other question. We all use the box ended wrenchs more than the obstruction wrench. Glad this solved your issue. Rich HArtung Quote

RatrodDodge Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 You don't necessarily have to get a car starter for your truck. As I recall, they have little switches that you bolt on to the top of your starter (where your starter pedal depresses the manual switch on the starter). This way, you have a push button on your dash that you can wire. I have debated doing that to my B3-B but personally, I kinda like the look on people's faces when they see four pedals on the floor!

TodFitch Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 . . . I kinda like the look on people's faces when they see four pedals on the floor! Or when you are in the car ready to leave chatting with someone and, with both hands fully visible and obviously not being used, the engine "spontaneously" starts. Does the high/low beam switch count as another pedal? If so then the count is five instead of four. 1 Quote
RatrodDodge Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 Hahahaha!!! Oh man, if that isn't the truth!!! And yes, I would definitely say that that high/low beam counts. An additional perk next to all this greatness is that if someone tried to steal your car, you could fool half the common thieves out there just by overwhelming them with pedals, especially if you hot wire the ignition switch and hear the relays 'click'. "Oh man, the battery is dead!" Quote

Any idea of the part number / type of switch that would go on a foot activated starter - - to convert the system to a simple electrical push start? Quote

Prusakowski Posted June 8, 2017 Report Posted June 8, 2017 I'm a novice - - but that appears to be a push-type starter switch vs. an electrical type switch that would eventually be used with a push button starting system, Quote

I had one on my 2 cylinder John Deere B tractor many years ago. Quote
