Looks like tooling mounting plates for a milling machine or something like that

Having grownup in the machine shop, I don't recognize them. But from the picture alone, I cant even think of what they could POSSIBLY be used for.

So it's either a dohickey or thingamajig.

I'll break out all the parts and take another pic. Maybe one of the other pieces will help identify it.

Thanks.

I thought it might be some sort of puller kit or a machine jig for something.

Here's the instruction manual:

Here is the parts list:

Model A Ford Garage ~ Kwik-Way Line Boring Machine Parts List

I wrote further discussion but I lost it when I tried to post links and images while I had privacy software turned on (the upload feature window freezes when those are on) and I couldn't get rid of the upload window to get back to the message I had written. I had to back-space and lost it all. No time to re-write that now.

Read the text and see the 3 photos at the following web page (URL) to see the machine in action. That post and photos are by Erik Barrett, posted at the Model T Ford Forum. The photos show the line boring of main bearing journals in a 1925 Stutz engine block with 9 bearing Journals. (Explained in the text). They could only bore 2 journals at a time on this engine block. Also read the entire topic for additional information.

Here is the third photo, a close-up which hopefully you can enlarge:



I can't tell you anything more about the machine itself.

The long boring bar is obviously missing in your photo- it's probably around that shop somewhere with the other parts. If I were you, I would be searching and combing that shop for every part that goes with it, just to have it all.
