Re: 4 Speed Transmission Tower

Thanks Keith & Bob. I'm kind of flying blind. I don't have much literature/schematics for the AA. Noticed that you referenced a parts book. Is there somewhere I can get one of those?

They slide back and forth easily when shifting, but when I try to drive them all the way out they don't want to come. Scared to use a big hammer! The fork is loose from the shaft/rod. Any ...

Popping out of 4th gear

Recently put together a AA and on road test the transmission popped out of 4th gear. Had the transmission apart and thought the gears all looked good. Did I miss something or would this be caused by something else? the other 3 gears run fine. Thanks

Re: Dump Truck

Welcome--I'm not the newest member anymore. I have a late '31 dumper with I believe a Little Giant manual dump. Living on the other coast in Georgia.

Headlights

Could a late 1931 (indented firewall) come from the factory with sealed beam headlights?

Re: Dump Bed Manufacturer

Thanks for the help. It will be fun trying to get more info on bed. Just finished a Panel Delivery, but I think the big truck will be more fun putting together.

Dump Bed Manufacturer

I have purchased a AA with a grain/coal dump bed. Don't think it is a Ford bed. Has hand crank chain hoist. Think it might be a Detwiler? Can anyone provide more info? Thanks
