Brake Adjusting Tool

[super dave]

I borrowed a Brake adjusting tool from a friend as I thought I would make a couple up but looking closer at it I have a question that someone here might answer. In the parts book the tool is listed as CTL 4031 and when out of stock use CTL 4031B, The tool I borrowed off my friend is marked CTL 4031C FM Co 45 and it has a 3/8 square stock attached close to the end of the tool. Question is what is that for as I don't see a purpose for it ???

Is it for attaching the torque wrench?

[Harry Moon]

Does it fit the drain plugs under the differentials?

Dave,

CTL 4031C was for the Windsor Carrier. The extra square protrusion was for the drain plug in the rear axle (Windsor Carriers used an Eaton 2-speed rear axle).

You can still carry on using this as a template for your reproduction as the other details are the same as CTL 4031B (just omit the square protrusion).

Here are a couple of images of a CTL 4031 B and CTL 4031 C together.

In FWC-02, Carrier, Windsor Mark 1*, Illustrated Spare Parts List, the correct nomenclature for the tool in your possession is:

CTL 4031 C, Wrench - brake adjuster and axle drain plug.
