Planet Jr cutout wrench

Recommended Posts

Does anyone collect these types of wrench’s? I found this one metal detecting an old farm. It’s all cleaned up and supposedly rare from what I can find online.

Cool wrench. Planer Jr was a walk behind tractor.

Closest thing like that for me is the multi-wrench for the oxy-acetelene torch. Had all the sizes needed, but no bottle opener....

That is a very cool find. My father had a big old Planet Jr walk behind garden tractor in about 1950, the steel wheels were taller than I was, but I was only five then.

Did the detector go off non-stop? I would think on an old farm there would be tons of metal stuff to set off the detector.

Nope. Very little stuff in this area. I’m searching the edges of the old pastures. It’s all woods now. I find quite a few old shotgun brass. All different and most 60-100 yr old. 
I found a broken cap gun about 5” deep in the woods and a bunch of spent lead. 
The dumps are where a detector is useless but with the new detectors and patience you can almost “see” what’s in the ground.

The wrench goes up on eBay tmw at 11am. EST.  I’ve learned more about antique farm wrenches in the past 2 days than I ever thought I would!
