Thanks for the help redmodelt & Purdy Swoft. I was cleaning it up and was able to determine the 3rd brush arm is connected to the slip ring. The other thing I noticed was the 3rd brush arm is copper colored while the others are silver. I'm waiting for new brushes, then re-installing. I'm also...

Good morning, From the description in the Les Andrews book, I believe I have a 30/31 generator (photo of end plate w/brushes attached). Was driving one day and noticed my ammeter was registering 0 amps. I've done most of the work on my '29 CCPU, but I was intimidated by the thought of taking...

All very helpful. Thanks for the info.

Hi All, Looking for any help on this ignition switch: 1. Switch year: 28/29 or 30/31? 2. How to remove rear plate to replace wire connection 3. How to remove switch from housing; should it have a plunger to remove switch? Thanks in advance...

Thank you F.M. and Bob C.

Found number, A-13470, and square w/arrow symbol stamped on my license plate bracket on my '29 CCPU. What does this information mean or where can I find? Thanks

Wow gentlemen! Thanks for the great education. This is exactly what I hope for on this forum. My '29 CCPU has fluted headlight lens, which my dad said were original to the vehicle. Based on the shared info, I will be looking for a Tea Cup Lamp with red & amber lens.

I don't believe I have the correct style tail light on my 1929 (Aug.) CCPU. Looking for help finding a picture or link of correct light. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks

Thank you all for the helpful information. Greatly appreciated!

Were the original rear windows on a '27, '28, and '29 CCPU the same size or different dimensions? If not, what are their respective sizes? Thanks for the education in advance.

'29 CCPU runs great, but... :confused: What do I need to adjust in order to use correct 17" Spark Control Rod and get full spark advance? With bent rod I get full retard & full advance. With 17" rod, I don't have enough arm movement to get full advance. I have Model B motor and can't rotate...

Same thing happened to me recently. I taped a 1-1/2" cylindrical magnet along the cable end of a 24" flexible cable pickup tool. I removed the starter and fished for the bolt through the starter hole. I kept the cable & magnet against the side and bottom of the bell housing. After a few...

My Radius Ball picture.

Thank you gentlemen. Found the same kit online after I had posted my question. I'll be ordering soon. My assembly did not have spacers or springs and was bolted tight, which I have been reading can contribute to the "Death Wobble".
