Wasn't there a AA express like that on The Waltons TV show?

Model A parts suppliers sell new balanced crankshafts for Model As. (Expensive) Model B crankshafts have larger bearings and possibly other differences. That's all I know.

The optional original factory Model A "police" high compression head has a big "B" on it, just to show it is not a regular "A" head. I have one on my '31 roadster. Since "B" was already being used, Ford put a big "C" on all Model B engine heads, even...

I'm not sure what you mean by "housings". Clutch housings? ~ No.
I don't know much about possible interchange of these starters, it was just a suggestion you could explore if you know anyone with an "N" tractor (1939 - 1952). I had one until recently but sold it.

I do have one in my collection of Model A & AA cranks. It's the only one I've ever come across, I would not want to break up the collection, not yet anyway. I'll let you know if I decide to sell it, I'm sure you would give it a good home.

OK, so if you are not concerned about originality and you want a vacuum wiper motor on your '28-29 AA instead of a hand wiper, you could install an A windshield frame on the AA with a vacuum motor. A & AA truck cabs are the same so the windshield frames are the same except for the holes for the ...

Hey lookin-backtexas, just curious, do you have the early crank/lug wrench for the "AR" early style lug nuts?

Ford "N" tractor starters and Model A & B starters all turn in the same direction.

Yes I mean flathead V8 starter, I'm pretty sure it will work on a B engine. Ford tractor starters 9n-2n-8n may also work, they use a separate solenoid.

Being as this thread is about '28/'29 windshields that is what I am talking about.[/quote]

Then you have me confused because you mentioned wiper "motor" and the Standards say all '28-29 commercial vehicles used a hand operated wiper until April 1930. (p. 20-1)

I used to have a '33 Model B truck. The starter worked by stepping on a floor button similar to Model A. If your truck had a button controlled starter it probably had a later model starter in it. Should be easy to find one of those.

You say you have overdrive in your AA, what kind is that? Do you also have the high speed rear end?

Chris, which year trucks do you mean, and what type wiper motor?
In 1930-31 A's and AA's did use the same vacuum wiper motor.

All my Model A's are still 6 volt and since I keep them properly tuned up, they all start immediately. When you start modernizing a Model A where do you stop? Do you want a Model A or a newer model car/truck?

I have found that sometimes if the demountable rim is not seating exactly right, you can put some air in the tire, say 5 or 10 pounds, and then beat on the rim with a rubber or wooden mallet (which will not bang it up) and get it to seat properly. DO NOT fully air up a tire if the demountable rim is...
