Re: Model A Tractor Conversion

I think there are lots of these conversions around, at least in the east. I have not seen as many like yours, perhaps, but they are out there and there is some demand for them. I think they are pretty interesting. I bought one once, just to get the engine, and it was made up from an old square-axle ...

Re: AA Mirror Bracket

Yes, Neil I agree. It looks like a welder-grinder special to me.

Mirror bracket

Hey, Knuck,
The mirror bracket you got from CWMoss, is it a post mount or hinge mount? What is overall length of bracket? Thanks

As I understand it, 600W is a trade name owned by Mobil, registered back in the 20's. The product is now Mobil 636. As far as synthetics go, perhaps the testimonial from Fordbarn is more pertinent to A or AA differentials than our company's test results, which showed some synthetics more effective t...

Call them and ask them. I think they may be one of the dealers that are repackaging 85W140 gear oil. It is good stuff (if 85W140), and not far off in viscosity when warm. Some people are more concerned about viscosity at room temp, because they notice how much leaks out when parked. It may not be as...

differential lube

First of all, we should not refer to 600W as "600 weight". That is not what the W means. 2ndly, it is a product owned by Mobil and still produced today, although I have heard some say you must buy at least 5 gallons. Some of the A parts dealers buy it and repackage to smaller containers. S...

Engine number

Go for it. I have successfully used NY titles (with vehicle) in Pennsylvania. If you are a legitimate owner of the vehicle, how could police or Motor Vehicle Dept. ever develop a case against you? That is the basic purpose of all the number checking (to stop theft). Beyond that basic, it comes down ...

AA 157 spare carrier stops

Neil, No I do not agree the stops are 1" different in length. Look at my numbers again. They are only 3/16 different as they are. This means to me that they could have originally been the same or up to, perhaps 3/8" at most, difference. Wish we could find the original drawing negatives for...

AA 157 spare carrier stops

Responding to Neil's request for centering information, here are photos showing the yardstick zero lined up with outside of frame channel on each side, to see if any difference shows up. The first set I did this way, it looked like the carrier was offset about 3/8". Now I am not so sure. Will w...

First, in response to Neil's request, see squareness of stops to frame channels.
