I recently purchased a large quantity of original 1950’s and 1960’s BMC Dealer service tools, for the servicing and repair of many BMC Classic cars. I have appreciated and collected these beautifully made items for many years, but amongst my recent lot, one tool in particular intrigues me. A large, very heavy cylindrical tool, which is stamped ” MF26/17 VLC”, made by VL Churchill, Daventry, England. It appears to be either a pressing tool, or a protector/sleeve type tool, I’m fairly certain it’s a Massey Ferguson Tractor Tool, its probably between twenty and thirty years old, I would like to know whether anyone recognises what the tool is for, and which model(s) it relates to. Hopefully, someone out there, might recognise it?
(MF26/17 VLC, cylindrical stepped tool, with hollow interior, one hole 1/8? through to inside, tapered at end, and half way down, 8 1/2? long, 2? across at small end, 2 1/2? across at bigger end, hollow internal size 1 7/8? across by 3 1/2? deep, very heavy!)
I’d really love to know for what purpose the thing was used for!!
The only sure thing I know is that it was made by VL Churchill, Daventry.Many thanks,

Jon would be interested to hear from anyone who recognises this tool. If you know, then either give Jon a call or contact Vintage Tractor Engineer and we’ll pass on the information.
