[AT] Wheel lug bolts

[Indiana Robinson]

I do well to remember my name let alone all of the thread sizes of all of
the lug bolts.  :-)
I have gotten better at carrying a black Sharpie in my pocket and writing
the wrench sizes of many common items on things. Stuff like wrench size of
wheel lugs, mower blade bolts, oil drain plugs etc.
It's not even a factor on the N Fords or anything Ferguson. Harry Ferguson
intended for you to be able to do half of the service on tractor and
implements with the factory plow wrench which was 11/16" on one end and
1-1/16" on the other end. I didn't use the plow wrench a lot as where
possible I prefer to use a box-end or a socket  but I always appreciated
the concept.
I have also been a big fan of decent tool boxes on tractors and implements.
Something that factories have often failed badly at doing until more recent
years. And what fool at most factories thinks that it is a good idea to
provide a wasp entry hole into what is otherwise a decent tool box?  :-)
