I bought this OTC set at a garage sale over the summer and haven't been able to identify it.
I have my ideas and I can tell what a couple of the tools do (for instance one of them is a small slide hammer) but don't know the original application.
If you have any ideas please post them.

Edit:
The tool in masking tape is a reamer marked OTC JD83.

Well at least it isn't something obscure that you'll never use!

Exactly, and don't let your friends know you have it, they all want to borrow it and you'll never have it when you need it.

I hope you guys are being sarcastic because there are a lot of people out there with 2 cylinder deere tractors that would find it handy......including myself, owning a 1950 Deere B tractor

Looking at the pics I said to myself that little slide hammer would be good for pulling that brass piece out of the center of a john deere carb. Then I read the second post. lol. I just rebuilt a dltx34 carb last week and could've used this.

50/50

It's one of those things 99.5% of the population would never use, but those that need it don't know how they'd get by without it.

Just bought some tools @ an online auction and was pleasantly surprised when I picked them up. I got the lot for $30. The complete craftsman ratcheting wrench set that I actually could see in the pictures was worth 30 anyway so everything else was a bonus. So here's what I think I know: most are from the 40s and 50s. I would imagine based on where I got them that I currently having my possession part of a. Person's history that may not be with us anymore I don't know. I don't want to go too deep into that, but it's kind of cool. And I think that he spared no expense based on the tools and the date codes in time frames that he got them they were top of the line at that time. So his trade was very important to him. K does anyone know what this otc puller is specifically designed to pull?

Looks like a pilot bearing puller.
I have an old NAPA (rebadged OTC) one just like it.

A Ford Ranger one day 10-12 years or so ago kicked my *** for several hours trying the bread and grease trick and everything else I could get to fit into that tiny pilot bearing that wouldn't budge. Tried small bolts on a larger puller that just couldn't get any purchase in it. The normal size pilot bearing puller attachment was way too large to fit in it. Gave up and went down the street to my local NAPA and spent $75 on that mini puller that yanked it out on the first try and I've not yet needed to use that tool since. Worth every penny.

Oh and thank you for that super valuable info. I appreciate you. So all the tools I got from that auction are from the 40s and 50s. So I assume that that pilot bearing puller is old as well. But again I just don't know about that one at least.
