Probably the "Cadillac" of tools produced is the TCM manufaturing Company of Maywood, IL. "Hydromek" system. It features a hydraulic pump jack to push the valves and guides out of the block and a unique valve bar. One end of the bar lifts the valve/guide assembly and the other end removes the horseshoe guide retainer. It also features a Jig for dissassembling or asembling the valves, guides, springs and keepers. It is shown in the lower right corner of the above left picture. It came in the original wooden box with leather carrying handle. Picture on right shows a complete parts list glued in the lid of the box.
Shown at top row left is a Hansford valve puller manufactured by the A. T. Hansford Co. Minneapolis, MN. Middle row shows a OTR #455 manufactured in Watonia, MN. guide pusher (left) and an original Ford Motor Co. guide driver (right). The bottom row shows an All Power slide hammer pusher.
Misc. valve spring compressers.
