Case Bearing Remover Appraisal

Inner Case Bearing Remover Tool Kit (Part No. 320050)

The item appears to be an "Inner Case Bearing Remover" tool kit, specifically designed for use on 'Big Twin Motors 58-Present Shovel OHC'. The main component is a dark gray or black metallic tool with a cylindrical body and a segmented, expanding end, suggesting a collet-style mechanism for gripping an inner bearing. The tool's surface shows some areas of wear and possible grease or oil residue, consistent with use in a workshop environment. Included in the cardboard box are additional metallic components: a long, slender rod, and two circular metallic pieces which appear to be washers or spacers, one of which has a prominent brass or copper-colored center. The tools are made of durable metals, likely steel or hardened alloys, to withstand the forces involved in bearing removal. The cardboard box, while functional, shows signs of age and handling, including creases, dirt marks, and some handwritten annotations in black marker '3-2011' and '1/8"', possibly indicating a purchase date or a specific sizing. An instruction sheet for '320050' is visible, providing details on the tool's purpose and application for specific engine types, underscoring its specialized nature. The overall condition suggests a used but functional tool, maintained within its original packaging, indicating it was likely stored alongside other workshop tools. The craftsmanship appears robust, built for durability and precision in a mechanical application.
