Get socket for 3/4" to 1 3/8". They'll come in handy on everything from radius arm nut, track arm nuts, yoke nuts.

Damn if I had an opportunity like that I would grab everything I could get my hands on. Never know what might come in handy. Any plasma cutters or milling machines in that "bunch of old tools"? The army still pays for your moves don't they? Is there a limit on how many tons of tools they'll move for you?

The yokes on the transfer case are 1 1/8", and I noticed the ball on the bumper also has the same size nut on it.
If you can get torque wrenches, 1/2 socket sets that go up to 1 1/2" if you can and a 1/2" socket wrench or bigger it depends on what you already have.
