Re: Front end alignment

Hello Ib, Since nobody else answered your request, I thought I'd try to help. I'm going to try to attach the alignment specs from a 1930 Bear Alignment catalog and a page showing how to check the straightness of Model A and AA Ford axles. The 1930-31 caster is correct at 3 1/2 degrees. Assuming king...

30-31 bevel gear rear

Hello Vicky, If you have a copy of the Ford Service Bulletins check the April 1931 for the change in the rear end housing. Previously, a .060 shim was used as a starting point and .005 shims were added as needed. In April 1931 the length of the neck of the housing was increased 1/16" and the .0...

Canadian AAC

Hello, I just purchased a 1929 Canadian AAC dumping grain truck. They are very different than our AA's in the states. For instance they have wood spoke wheels, different cabs, and rear ends just to mention a few things. Does anybody in the club have any information about these trucks? Chassis parts ...

Warfords

Hello Watermelon truck man, What part of Pennsylvania are you from? I have one of each style of the AA Warfords (not for sale) and some TT ones. The main difference in them is the size of the input and output shaft splines. The one for use behind a four-speed actually had a coupler that mated the ge...

Rear Wheel Hub Puller

Try your NAPA store if you have one near you. They did have a heavy duty three jaw puller that would work if you drill out the 5/8" hole in the puller legs to 3/4" to fit the AA wheel studs. If you can find one, leave me know and I'll see if I can find a number for it or check if it would ...

Hello Tim, I see you were going to contact me (Tired Truck) about your bearing problem. Since I did a seminar in Dearborn on the AA drivelines I have done a little research on this subject. I can offer this information. In a 4-3-31 Service Letter, the driveshaft roller bearing surface diameter is li...

AA front tires

Hello Gerald, The original tire size on the 1928-29 AA's were 30X5 on the front and 32X6 on the rear. These were the high pressure type tire sizes. In about July 1929 the balloon type tires were introduced for the fronts in the 6.00X20 size. This is an interchange for the 30X5 high pressure size. Wi...

AA-4655 bearing race

After failing to find any new or good used AA-4655 bearing races, I had a machine shop make up a few for me on a trial run. They made a solid bushing out of tool steel and were going to have them hardened. I haven't picked them up or even know what they are going to cost yet. Maybe I'll have a chanc...
