I believe it is for removal of the nut that holds the original oil filler/breather.

Correct

Is there a homemade workaround for that job?

I've had limited, but occasional success using to Large screw drivers ... one placed in each slot, then cross them against each other ...
Unfortunately these things are usually torqued down SUPER tight or stuck!
That particular tool can be found at most plumbing supply shops .... it's a 1" internal pipe wrench, nothing special!

X2.  And in a worse case scenario can crack the nut and the stand. The factory style tool is a face pin spanner.

That's a valuable piece of info! I'll see if I can find one locally for cheap.

Luckily, I don't need to remove the nut, just reinstall and tighten!

At one time, there was a "spanner" type tool made to fit on the end of a 3/8" ratchet extension . . . is it still made?

[Lids]

make one, use an old socket and weld on some square tubing of the correct size.

WIN! I've seen those made. Way more effective and easy to fabricate.

Yeah I have one of those from waaayback ....!...I think if it were to be a little thicker it would be a bit more stable ..Sometimes it has tendencies to slip...maybe a little more weight...?
