High Speed Odometer Gear

Does anyone have a High Speed Odometer Gear for my 31 AA that they would be willing to sell?

I have a High Speed Rear to install, but I was informed that this is something I will need. Does there a drawing that shows where this is installed?

Re: Rear Main Seal

Basically, my friend is trying to help an elder to sell an Model A and they discovered it has been leaking oil.

It appears likely with the severity, I recommended of pulling the oil pan off and starting investigating from there before deciding of pulling the engine out.

Rear Main Seal

I have a friend who working on a Model A Car before getting ready to sell it.

He noticed when the car is running, its loosing oil. What are the reasons why the rear main seal leaks bad when running? Drips a little bit when the engine is turned off.

Suggestions?

Thanks for listening.

Re: Lift Cylinder

The only thing I see what appears to be a "rubber" seal. It looks fine and I don't believe its correct for the time period.

One a happier note. I laid a 12 scale against the shaft. Its perfect shape & straight.

I'm highly convince the old collar is the problem.

Re: Lift Cylinder

Update: I know what the culprit to cause my cylinder to leak. The collar was cracked, welded, and cracked again. Furthermore; the dimensions of the collar that inserts into the cylinder cap has a lot of “slop” by my machinist standards, like .030 because the mounting holes don’t line up which force ...

Re: Lift Cylinder

Thanks. One more question ! So, the Collar will be able to remove and I shouldn't have to remove the end cover plate? Most questions I ask are common sense before trying something for the first time on my own. I just want to cover my bases. The first time I watched this dump bed raise up & down ...

Gas Tank Strainer & Gas Gauge

My Gas Gauge is not working properly. I was told that the float might be rubbing against the Gas Tank Strainer.

What's an effective way to remove the Strainer? I noticed it has four notches equally spaced.

Thoughts?
