Thanks for the tip. One more thing to consider.

Thanks, I,ll leave it out of gear with E-brake on. Also, will strap all 4 corners.

I am going to trailer my tudor approx. 250 miles. Should I leave transmission in gear or in neutral, also emergency brake on or off. Thanks, Bob

Thanks for every ones help. I agree with Larry that driveline noises are a little tricky to isolate the noise. I'm going to put it one jack stands this weekend and try to hear anything. Also went for a short drive and the noise is louder when letting off gas in third and going down hill. It...

Here is what I have done so far. Checked throw out bearing and that looked OK. Changed transmission fluid, no metal pieces. Drained fluid from differential, and checked with magnet no metal. Jacked up pass. side wheel turned freely in both directions with no problem. Drivers side turned but...

I know for sure always happens in second and third, not sure about first. I now have some direction on what to check. Thanks,Bob

Thanks for the help, Will check rear dif.and throw-bearing. Also the noise stops when i push clutch in when slowing down for a stop.

That's what I thought but it doesn't look like a 6" hose would fit being too short. Shorter lower hoses also look like they would be too short. Maybe with hoses off it will look different? Thanks,Bob

In the process of changing water pump on my mostly original 29 Tudor and also want to change the old rad hoses. The upper hose measures 9'' long and shorter lower hoses are 4" long. Vendors show a 6 1/4" and 2 3/4" for a 29. The hoses for 30-31 are listed as 9" and 4". I checked...

Agree great book. I use mine whenever a repair or maintenance is necessary.

Thanks for replies , it's a original type 2 blade which I am changing to a 2 blade aluminum.

Thanks Russ/40 that's what I thought but a post I read said nothing had to be loosened. I have never done this before so I will move rad forward.
