Didn't take the first time...

That removes the nut and starter assembly on an old Briggs and Stratton engine to take the flywheel off.

Just took mine off the shop wall where I keep antique tools. The one holds the flywheel and the other turns the nut. Same number on my wrench.

(quoted from post at 06:54:11 02/09/15) Jim It looks to be a bung wrench to remove the bungs on a 55 gal drum.

looks LIKE THAT TO ME TOO. Opened many drums of jet fuel with one like that.
 

My Dad has a few of them but haven't seen them in ages and I thought the same thing. He used to them on the bungs of the old 55 gallon kerosene drums.
 
My Dad got these when he was teaching a group of young farmers a course in small engine repair. The book shows them to be for removing the flywheel. Just looked at mine in the shop and it is too big to fit the bung on a barrel.

Rube Goldberg rides again! :D

I have a Briggs on my roto tiller.
Here's a wrench I made up for removing the strange bearing nut
that holds the flywheel on.
The chain connects the flywheel to the engine mounting base to keep it from turning and the hose clamp pulls the business end tight to the nut.

Thanks Richard.
It sure is ugly but works perfectly.
I just wanted one quickly. :)

That is the craziest flywheel keeper
cause the dang drive is at the back of it
with those strange steps in it.

Real knack weaving it into position
because of the clutz who made it. :D

and because the flywheel cooling fins get in the way
of wiggling it into position.
 
Definitely Briggs & Stratton flywheel wrench. Got 1 with the flywheel holder myself. Very valuable tools for small engine work.
 
I'll take a photo of my Briggs flywheel nut tomorrow.

If that one would work on mine, then it's a big DOH for me going about it the hard way.

Seems to me I was afraid of two much pressure on those two wings that the screen bolts to, when I decided I had to attack it from the back.

Too old to remember. :)

Thanks for all the ideas and the real story; it is good to know what it really is. Never saw the accompanying piece and thanks for the photo; and it is clear how they would work together. I've had to fight with a couple of B&S engines to redo the starting assembly. It never occurred I had one of the two tools to simplify it.
