Isn't this bike from before they had standard sizes for fasteners? That would explain the use of a monkey wrench instead of fixed width spanners. Are you finding that modern box wrenches fit the pedal flats and other wrenchable surfaces or are you using adjustable wrenches on all of these?
Edit: I was enamored with this wrench so I did some research on it. I reverse google image searched that M logo, but no luck. I hit the jackpot with "Vintage A-2 adjustable wrench" It's a Frank Mossberg wrench.

So that they don't get lost in the ebay abyss, attaching the auction pics below for future reference.

Awesome find! I couldn’t find it so kicked it aside with the activity of the project. Great question on the sizes. Not only are they standard sizes, all points of maintenance (BB, headset, pedals etc) are what you find on our C&V bikes of up to the 1990’s. It is a joy to work on, not at all frustrating like I had anticipated.
