AA-17287 Thrust Washer (speedometer driving gear)

Post by Neil Wilson »

There is a AA-17287 Thrust Washer (speedometer driving gear) listed starting in the 6/15/30 Ford Parts Price List. This part is shown to be for 1929-1930. There is no Thrust Washer listed in prior parts lists. In the 1932 list, this Thrust Washer is shown to be to 1929-1932.

I am guessing that AA-17287 Thrust Washer was for 1930-1932 (not for 1929).

Anyone have information?

Also, should the Thrust Washer be on the front or rear side of the speedometer driving gear?

I also find the AA-17286-B Retainer (speedometer drive gear) has an engineering drawing dated 5/13/29. This is the retainer which is installed in a grove on the drive shaft rather than installed in a grove in the torque tube.

So, it seems that both the AA-17287 thrust washer and AA-17286-B retainer started production in May 1929 (or shortly after). This would mean that the drive shaft would have been redesigned to include a grove for the retainer.
