[AT] Gas Tank sending unit needed

[Mike Sloane]

I have seen lots of ads for tool boxes that fit 8Ns, but I have never 
seen one pictured, either in the 9N/2N parts manual or in catalogs, for 
the earlier tractor. Nor have I seen one of those wrenches. Can you 
point me in the right direction?

Over the years, I picked up a handful of black wrenches with the Ford 
script cast into them, but I suspect they came out of automobile tool 
boxes, as none of them have any kind of inch markings on them. That 
would be a neat addition to my tractor. (once I get the old sleeves out 
and the new ones in...)
