They look like brake shoes except they clamp down on the outside of the drum, vs expanding into the inside of a drum Oh, I think I see. Reminds me a bit of a 63 Ford Econoline I had as my first "car". The shifter on the 4 in a tree (yep, 4) broke, so I couldn't get it into reverse after I'd jury rigged the shifter to work in the four forward gears (piece of garden hose & several hose clamps). So, I learned to park where I didn't need to back up, and if I did, I'd rigged a coat hanger through the front grill that'd allow me to pull the shifter forward into reverse gear (fondly nicknamed "Manuel Rivera by my girlfriend"), then when I was done reversing, I'd have to use a giant 2' long screw driver to push the shifter back into neutral. Pretty much sucked, but the part to fix the shifter was no longer made, and even when it was, was only available in Canada, where the van was originally from. I still talk to her occasionally 45 years later, and we still laugh about Manuel Rivera. I learned a LOT owning that van.

Yea, is the square drive tapered on the inside?
It's a ratchet for getting into spots that a brace can't be used in

A Model T has no dipstick. To check oil, you have two petcocks on the oil pan The idea is to keep the oil level between the two petcocks. So you crack the top one, and if oil comes out it is over filled. If none comes out, you then crack the bottom petcock. If oil comes out, you are good. If no oil comes out of the bottom petcock, you need to add oil The wrench shown above lets you reach and open the petcocks without crawling under the car. The Sierra club won’t like this, but back in the day when you cracked the petcock and oil came out, it fell on the ground and you just left it there. Today, I have a drip pan under my T to catch that oil, and all the other oil that regularly leaks out of every Model T in the world

My other guess would have been a too to switch gas tanks...
Way back in my college days I had a CREAKY old teechur who taught PNW History. He told us a story about taking the rutted dirt road over the pass (you can still see the ruts in some places near the pass on some of the side roads)...
One day he threw a bearing. So he got out of his model (T? A? I can't remember) took his hat off and drained the crank case into it. Removed the pan, folded up the tin foil (real tin) from some chewing gum he had on hand, shimmed the bad bearing with it, tied everything back up and then poured the oil in his hat back into the motor....and off he went.
Don't shoot me, that's his story.
