Thank you to everyone for the great information. Thanks to Model A guy Al Zannino, Bud Valerius. and Morris Eddy I was able to fix the speedometer problem, adjust my engine, and repair the drive line of my 1931 AA. We spent the day today reassembling the drive line and took the old gal out for a 15 ...

Just an update to this post. I checked the rear engine mounts I took off and they are the AA mounts. When I removed the body, the frame had no apparent bend so I am not sure why the engine sat too low in the rear. It was this way when I purchased this back in 1979, It hasn't gotten any worse and it ...

I bought this truck about 40 years ago. It was an absolute mess. It probably should have been sold for parts or gone to the crusher. I had a good Model A guy in my area do the initial restoration and if you saw the difference, you would think he was a magician. I am assuming that it always had the w...

After removing the torque tube and disassembling the gear, bearing and race, the one the South Shore Bearing sent me must be for the car and not the AA, it was too small. I returned it. Fortunately, The bearing was not the problem, I had a bad U joint at the tail end of the connecting shaft. The fro...

Yes!! I have the bearing and race. Now I have to figure out if I am skilled enough to remove and replace the old bearing and race.

Thank you, an Email has been sent

I found the race at Burt's Model A in Colorado but they do not have the bearing. They have the race listed as BB-4645. I did check and found that there is a corresponding BB-4655-A2 bearing. Is that a correct replacement? Was the BB-4655-A2 a superseded part number for the AA-4655?

I pulled the body off my frame and used a fine sandpaper to remove the paint. Over the years, the rust and corrosion did it's job and there was a VERY faint VIN number on the frame rail right where it was supposed to be. I would assume that some trucks frames are so rusted that you can only get the ...

False alarm, Smith and Jones list the part but do not have it. Back to the drawing board. Thanks

Thank you for the help. I found the bearing at Smith and Jones Antique Auto Parts. However, they do not list the race or sleeve. I will continue the search. Thanks again

Thank you so much for the diagram and information. I assume that the shaft is long out of production and, if the shaft is worn, it will have to be replaced with a good used one. If I am correct, the bearing and bushing basic number is 4645 and 4655 respectively. Based on that, the part for the AA sh...

I am looking for some technical advice and perhaps a parts source. I have a 1931 AA 131 wheelbase stake body truck. I have damaged three speedometer driven gears over the past several years. I jacked up the back of the truck and had someone look at the drive gear on the shaft as it was rotated. Ther...

My AA used to spit water on warm days and I was always adding to it. I just did a restoration refresh, put in a new Brassworks radiator and decided to use Evans waterless coolant. So far, I love it. No spitting and it has a boiling point of 325 degrees. It is non corrosive. The cost is expensive, bu...

Thanks, Bud, The payment has been sent.

I am looking for a floor shifter plate, part number AA-82245 for a 31 AA. this is the metal plate that goes around the shifter and parking brake lever opening. I would like to buy one or at least have a pattern to make one. THANK YOU!!
