Need help identifying tools....

[G450X]

Greetings on Thanksgiving, and I need a bit of help.

I found an ad for an old VW shop in a small town that was closing down and popped in to see if they had any Porsche parts. They had a few tools and I bought the lot thinking (I'm a novice of course) that most of them were 911 air cooled tools. I've since searched part numbers and identified a few as 928 tools (horror).

The engine stand has 7 arms and an aluminum adapter, but my searches have failed to ID it. The stand is the Porsche red with 9127 number embossed on the end. The aluminum adapter that fits on it has number 9197. I'm worried it's a 928/944 set. The stand is very heavy and well made, it looks like a OEM Porsche tool (the aluminum adapter looks OEM as well).

I also have a gray painted very heavy engine/transmission tool that looks like it may be used to sit the engine on a floor type jack under a 911 (??) and lower it. It is made in Germany and has number 3058 on it (it's probably a 928 transmission tool!). There is also a piece, that possibly bolts to the large grey piece, that's painted Porsche red that has no number but the remnants of a sticker like some of the other Porsche OEM tools have.

I also have a Stahlwille tool number 9218 (?).

I had ID'd an oil pump gear holder (000-721-915-71), a transmission shaft wrench (800-721-914-30), and a 928 camshaft drift tool (9233).

I also picked up some 15-16 original Porsche manuals, mostly parts manuals on 911/912's/914/6/914 from 1965-1973. There was also a 928 set in there (of course!).

I've added a few pictures to help in the identification process. Is it a 911 Christmas early, or a 928 crashing the party??

Thanks All

The yoke looks like the 911 bit. Not sure on the part numbers. If it is, the adapter won't be needed.

Oh, and don't "Dis" the 928. It is an awesome car.

Yes, but 928 tools are about as desirable to a 911 mechanic as a fart in a space suit.

It's a 928/944 stash, just my luck. I had never seen a factory 911 stand and I just assumed it had 7 arms instead of the normal 4 or 5. I thought the aluminum adapter was to fit 928/944 engines to the 911 stand.

I guess that's why a novice should not be out buying tools from an old guy who has not worked on a Porsche in so long that he can't remember what they are!

Well, at least I got a bunch of 911 shop/parts manuals and a spark plug tool!

Thanks again, I've been eyeing a local 928 that's in pieces, maybe this is a push in the back to make a move?? I'll keep everything for a while and see if a 928 is in my future.

Hi, I know this is an old post but if you still have some of these tools I would be interested in them.
