These specialty tools make the removal and installation of cylinder liners
in vintage Ford tractors a painless and trouble free process. They are fabricated from quality alloy
steels, designed for long life, and priced to fit the tight budgets of vintage tractor collectors and enthusiasts.

Driver style toolkits are available for the 120 CID L-head motor used in the N-series tractors and the 134 and 172 CID
motors used in the NAA and hundred sereis Ford tractors.. The "standard" 120 CID toolkit comes with a screw in handle and
two driver bushings - one for sleeve removal and a second for sleeve installation. The 134 CID (SSK-FD-134D) and the 172
CID (SSK-FD-172D) kits contain a single bushing that is used for both insatllation and removal and are priced the same as
the 120 CID kit.
The 120 CID toolkit can also be ordered with a full length installation tool in place of the installation bushing. This
tool is a reproduction of the original Ford sleeve replacement tool used for installing the thin wall (.040) sleeves
fitted in the earlier model years. It greatly reduces the likelyhood of buckling or deforming the sleeves as they are driven
in and works equally well for the thick wall (.090) sleeves

Combination Puller/Driver Toolkits
The 120, 134, and 172 CID driver style toolkits can also be ordered with an optional screw type puller. The puller is an adjustable
leg design with thrust bearing equipped jackscrew for smooth easy operation. With the puller it is possible to remove the
sleeves with the crankshaft in place for "in-frame" sleeve service. The puller kits include the screw in driver handle and
can also be used to drive the sleeves out from the underside of the block. A "master" kit containing tools for the 120, 134,
and 172 CID motors is also available.
Professional Model Toolkit
The professional toolkit is intended for the the professional Ford tractor mechanic or collector and offers a complete range
of coverage for vintage Ford tractors 1939-64. It extends the master toolkit with the addition of the OEM installation tool
for the 120 CID engine and replaces the installtion bushing with a second removal bushing sized specifically for the thicker
.090 wall sleeves. The additional removal bushing provides a more secure grip on the thicker wall sleeves and reduces the
possibilty of the bushing becoming wedged inside a badly worn or damaged sleeve.
