What is the difference between the 30-31 and the 28-29? What do I look for?

One thing to watch out for with 12 volt going to a 6 volt starter is excessive wear and chipped teeth on the flywheel ring gear.

This is what I found about the numbers that you provided.

AA1826250 = June 1929

A2732811 = December 1929

I'm not sure why there would be two numbers on the engine block. Maybe I am missing something.

I'm looking for a schrader double bent type valve stem assembly used on the 30/31 trucks. I would like to use it as an example to see about making some reproductions. Does anyone have one of these they can sell me? Is there an easier / cheaper way to go for valve stems? What about the dust caps? One...

What is the different between Model A bumpers and the AA trucks bumpers? I have a mid to late 1930 AA. I had heard that the AA bumpers were thicker or wider or something. The judging standards mention a heavy-duty bumper.

I don't think it was a mis-strike. I think a second 'A' was added over the 'star' and then another 'star' was added. The question is, was it done at the factory on the assembly line or was it added some time later. As far as value goes, it is about as valuable as any rusty 'A' block would be. John NNY

Under the first 'A', there is a faint 'star' behind it. So, at the beginning of the serial number there are two 'stars' and two 'A's".

Pictures are located at the link below. The tractor brakes and drums look great for spare parts. The U-joint looks almost n...

How do you install the rim locking piece without dammaging or chiping the paint on the rim abd the finish on the rim locking ring? Any pointers on installing the tube and tire? It is not an issue for me yet because mine are still quite rusty.

What part of the country are you in? Does the frame have wheel, drums or brakes?
