The transmission case I have is the early ‘28 case with the larger bore for the idler gearshaft. My transmission is not too bad, will probably replace the bearings an the lower gear, but I am going to reinspect the cluster gear and shafts again before I decide on gears. The shaft bushings are...

I do drive, try to get it every couple of weeks for a drive nearby. It is not perfect but I sure enjoy it. Got a great assist from a almost local couple of great guys. They had a clutch with some FT Wayne relined discs, gave a great deal. I picked a flywheel from them too, but it may be in...

Reached to Papanick, got a quick response, thank you!

Yes, my truck has the parking brake on the left side, the pedals are different ( and the shaft ). The transmission has the larger hole for the idler gear shaft. Really trying to keep it all configured as it was.

My flywheel has some pretty heavy notches cut in by the clutch discs. I am afraid the clutch may get hungup on one of those and get stuck.

Looking for a multi disc clutch and early flywheel, my clutch is in bad shape and the flywheel has heavy notches in it.

Looks like mine has baffles, but maybe they don’t work as well as they could, did the later design changes help? May have to do the tube breather. Just hate trying to explain the “oil leak”.

Thank you Mike, I will give a try!

Thanks ronn, ya my frame is fixed, sounds like what I have for material. Appreciate the response.

Thanks katy, do I need to change the u bolts or should I to add that clip? I would rather not look up there in the future and think the u bolts have moved.

The speedometer on my early 28 Model A RPU has not worked since I bought it. While removing the transmission/rearend to change the clutch I noticed the cable spun on the speedometer drive end, does this mean the gauge is seized up? Is there a good way to check without taking the gauge out?

How is the Model A engine oil filler/ breather tube held in place? I am thinking of ordering a tube with baffles to help slow down some of the mess.

Thanks Don, I read that there is a January 1928 version. Is the April 1928 version only AA?

What material or fabric was used for the top on an early 28 Model A open cab pick up? The top I have appears to be vinyl and the frame is definitely not original.

I have an early 28 Model A RPU with the split brake cross shaft, both shafts are worn pretty flat. I have read that some have had these welded and machined back to the correct dimensions. Is there a source to have this done or is it best just to look for a set with less wear?
