Early 1931

Well three years later I finally found the seal I was looking for, had to buy a whole dump truck carcass to get it. Came with engine,hydraulic dump bed, transmission with real good gears and PTO, four good wheels and best of all when I got it home I found it had four cast iron brake drums and a high...

Good question. I looked at three I have, one with the gear on the transmission is mounted with the housing on the back side of the cross member. The other two have u-joints mounted on the transmission and one housing is mounted behind the cross member and the other one is mounted on the front side o...

Ken, I got the picture of the bus spring off of Ebay, I'll post a picture of another picture I found.

I still say this is a 28-29 Canadian chassis. According to my Canadian parts book that rear axle was only used in 28-29 so

It's a coupe not a roadster. I can't stand them with white wall tires and
all the accessories. Trunk, stone guard, step plates.

Also a worn pilot bearing in the flywheel can cause it to jump out of 4th.

Bob

Yes it's a 1930. It looks like he thinks it's worth well over $25,000 and a couple other people
think it's worth $8,000.

Bob

How many times have people found a problem when replacing a stripped timing gear, I think not very many.

Bob

I think most people stick a rag between the two gears to lock them up. If you use another fiber gear don't use the one
with a metal hub and a fiber gear as they tend to come loose between the two different materials.
