They will fit if you will loosen the arm nut at the frame which will make it easier to adjust the angle of the arm which is different for the 19" and 16". Do not tighten th arm nut until tire and wheel is in the well. Also the air pressure should be at about 20 lb. I have used this method for...

I ordered my natural rubber 19" inner tubes from Berts in Denver. Give them a call to see if they are still available.

I have never had any issues with using a good quality heavy duty duct tape. Use the cheap stuff in any product and you may have problems.

This is just a suggestion on what i have done unless they are totally unusable. Buy a roll of a heavy duty duct tape. Line the wheel in several layers of the tape and install tube and tire. I have used this easy fix for years with no problems.

One of the items we tend to forget is that different brands of tires are not all the same height or diameter. I have found this to be true so it may be a part of the problem. Firestones are the larger ones and the covers generally fit well and tight.

I'm 74 and enjoying the hobby with my 30 cpe here in AZ. We have several members in our club in their mid 80's and still enjoying life. Model A's keep you young at heart.

The Model A does have cruise control. That is what the throttle lever on the steering column can be used for. Be very carefull when using it !!

Are there any similarities between the A 400 w/s frame and the 28-29 Briggs 4 dr. frame ?

Just a comment on the original 4 blade fans. I have had 3 that have had cracks and ready to come apart at any time. I will not use any original 2 blade or 4 blade for driving any of my A's. Use a repro aluminum or a plastic fan. I have sold several 2 and 4 blade fans at swap meets and have...

Here in AZ we have some very warm summers. The 10W/30 is too light to use here even in our winter. I use 15W40 Diesel. Some club members have had problems even with good engines using too light an oil and also using non detergent oil which forms excessive sludge. I have also used 20W50 and...

In 1971 when I moved to AZ from MN I towed 3 Model A's with a tow bar attached to the front axle. No problems with either the axle or transmission. It is a 2,000 mile tow using mostly freeways. Transmissions had the the regular level of 140W and was not filled to the top. I don't understand...

If you want GOOD quality inner tubes, order them from Berts in Denver. Only good ones I have found.

The doors will fit. I have had both years. Same from 29-31 straight W/S.

There is a club member here in Az that removes the chicken wire, installs thin luan plywood over the bows, uses liquid nails and staples to attach to the bows then installs a thin sheet foam over the plywood then the top material. The result is one of the nicest roof installations on 2 of his...
