Re: GROOVED VERSUS SMOOTH HYATT STYLE ROLLER BEARINGS

I am very interested in this discussion. I have three NOS BB-1225 wheel bearings that have the spiral grooves, and yes they float in the cages just enough to keep the rollers parallel with the two races under a heavy flexing load. I believe the spiral grooves are designed to hold grease rather than ...

Re: 1930 AA 4 SPEED SHIFT TOWER

Did I misunderstand? Do you mean shift knob movement of 6 inches left to right when it is in gear, 1st or 3rd?

Re: 1930 AA 4 SPEED SHIFT TOWER

I just finished rebuilding my 4 speed tower. It is mounted on a wooden test stand while I complete the work on the transmission. I have not actually measured the amount of travel from first to second or third to fourth, but it’s a lot of movement. Your measurement of 6 inches seems to be about what ...

Re: Wanted: good original manual windshield wiper

First of all, Thank You for the response. I was hoping to find a real nice one. I see that there are new manufactured manual wipers, but I am not sure how they compare to the originals in regard to dimensions. The new ones are all fancy chrome or stainless, which I could work over to make black, but...

Re: Looking for some advice on AA trucks

My AA truck is in pieces but it will have a 5:14 gear set in the back. It should do about 48 mph at 2700 rpm. I currently drive a 31 Model A station wagon, all stock. The station wagon is my reference. I wouldn’t want to go 60 in the thing. It’s not exactly streamlined. It still has mechanical brake...

Model A engine rebuilders

I am interested in having a model A engine rebuilt. I have a list of websites and rebuilders, but don’t know which rebuilder is considered the best in the USA these days. Sometimes websites are old and really reflect what was going on at the company ten years ago rather than last week. Does anyone i...

Re: AA 4 speed transmission counter shafts

Bob, Thank you. I actually have been watching this particular shaft on e-bay, but it is the replacement shaft for a BB-7111. It has that weird step at the back that will be clearly be seen as not the regular shaft. I know it will work just fine, but it wont look stock, original. It would be great if...

Re: AA 4 speed transmission counter shafts

You are right. I measured several BB-7111 counter shafts because I think I might make a few brand new ones. The keeper end is 1.0030 to 1.0035 for 1-1/2 moving forward, just as you described. then the shaft steps down to 1.0005 to 1.0000 all the way forward. I thought there might be a second step fo...

Paint color details: AA 4-speed transmission

The paint color for the Ford AA 4-speed, of course is mostly Ford green. The shifter tower cap is black, the PTO cover is black. What color should the fill and drain plugs be, green or black? What else is black on the transmission? (It’s all in primer now, and it will be painted, so my preference is...
