You should talk to Don Doan of Calif. He faced the Ford licensing issue with apparel for old Ford Tractor club and can tell you lots. He wasn't even trying to use the Ford oval, just a photo of one of his tractors, and they wanted him to stop! His email is: don(at)thetractornstore(dot)com

These seem to be what the originals were like:

The cranks seem to be fairly easy to find. The hard part for me to find is the correct lug wrench bar, which could have been used for a lot of things, and obviously easily separated from the wrench itself as the years went by. My wrench is 15 inches long.

Gee, could it be that KRW actually made some tools for something other than A's and AA's? They even got into marine conversions for flathead V8's by 1941.

5/4 is the nominal size. If you are talking maple, and it is surfaced one side, it will be 1 1/8 thick, whereas if it is surfaced two sides, it will be 1 1/16 thick.

I am impressed. That looks like very good work.

Dave , I have a carrier just like the picture that was posted. I am in southern PA. Might be easier for you to pick it up here than to ship. $150 -Randy

Dan, I believe Cushman does most of them now. They normally keep some of any kind done and ready to ship, but if you really want yours back, they can track it through their process and do that for you. The decals have, historically, not been of the exact font, unless they have recently changed, but ...

This is a diagram Brattons uses to help customers order and assemble floor board parts. It may be of some help to you. Unfortunately it does not have holes for dual high, but if it did it would probably screw up some people who don't have that, but went ahead and put the holes in anyway! Order parts...

The AACA judging manual says that the first use of sealed beam headlights was in 1940.
