Re: AA 4 speed transmission counter shafts

Hi again, I noticed a slight "step" on BOTH shafts on the after end (keeper end) of the shaft. They are both 1" diameter for rear 1 1/2", then the diameter gets smaller by .004" for the forward 7 3/4" of the shaft. All of these measurements are approximate, I used cheap...

AA 4 speed transmission counter shafts

I noticed that the transmissions are very similar on the AA trucks and the WWII Dodge army trucks and Power Wagons. I bought a NOS counter shaft for a WWII Dodge 39- 46 tranmission on ebay and just received it. Attached is a picture showing the AA shaft on the bottom and the new Dodge truck shaft (N...

Re: Cast iron drums and other brake questions

Thanks for your reply Keith, I always learn something new when I read this forum and also learn more when I ask questions! I did not realize that the brass wire in the woven shoes absorbed heat, then in turn it would also expand the shoe to conform to the expanded drum. I know that on my WWII Dodge ...

Re: zerk grease fit replacement

I believe that those "modern zerk fittings" were made back in the 20s/30s, Henry just did not want to pay patent fees to use them. Steve.

Re: Part # or Plug?

Hi, 1932 BB and later shift towers have longer shift rail bosses with plugs in the ends. One picture is of a BB tower, the other is a picture of a 1947 Ford shift tower (which does not have the reverse lockout lever). Using 1932 and later towers will fix one set of leaks. Steve.

Cast iron drums and other brake questions

I just acquired a pair of cast iron AA brake drums mounted on front hubs. I measured the drums and they are 1/16th" SMALLER than 14" I.D. The inside stud nuts were peened using a center punch. I suppose that someone took some brand new drums and placed them on the hubs and did not have the...

Re: AA four speed transmission parts

All of the hard parts sold in the parts houses are NOS. The countershafts have been all sold for years now. Every $10 4 speed transmission that I see at swap meets I buy for the countershaft, some have good ones. Sacramento Vintage stocks only about 60%of the items listed in their catalog, the owner...

Re: 1931 Rear Hub Problem

Hi, I bought a running Model A chassis a couple of years ago and during a test drive the rear wheel would become suddenly STUCK and would skid. I took the hub off and found that the pins holding the parking brake arms together were installed backwards and were occasionally hitting the wheel studs. I...

Re: 82 A door glass

Hi, I have noticed in several AA trucks that the door glass (in triplex form,which was replacement glass at some point) were of different widths, nearly 1/2" between the narrowest ones and the widest ones. I have used silex210 on ebay, and the widths are perfect, the glass slides up and down ef...

Re: 1931 Rear Hub Problem

Hi, years ago I made a couple of special offset wheels to transport power wagons on a tow dolly. I cut down 19" Model A rims and made a center for the power wagon bolt pattern, which happens to be the same small Budd bolt pattern as the AA truck. I am not doing the power wagon thing anymore so ...
