The Cornhusker model A club hasn't been much help. One guy gave me a couple of names. One of those only works on engines and the other I'm not sure really exists.

Seward county

Thanks. Gave him a call and plan to meet.

Desperately need a mechanic to help with a differential problem. Either take it and fix it or let me bring it over and tell me what to do while it sits in the back of my pickup. Videos, manuals, and online tutorials ain't gonna help because this is somewhat different than the usual in that it...

If all you want to do is pull the front shaft out of a 3 speed, what do you have to do? I think it is called the "main gear" but whatever you call it, it's the one that drives from the pressure plate.

They were off. Nothing but threads on the end of the shaft.

Just an update. You may remember my previous post on a model A differential on a speedster with differential problems. Disconnected everything at the rear axle and the coupler at the front of the drive shaft. As I pulled it back the driveshaft came out the end of the torque tube. Yeah, that...

First of all, I am checking if the driveshaft is turning at the speedometer cable "port" at the front of the torque tube, so the fact that it has a dual high really has nothing to do with it, other than perhaps something having to do with shortening the driveshaft went awry. Anyway, yesterday I...

Shouldn't have said pumped up. Just depressed the brake pedal.

Model A drive train.

I took the speedometer cable attachment off at the front of the torque tube, and I can see that the driveshaft is not turning when you turn the rear wheel. However, jack up either rear wheel and it will turn when you turn the engine.

It's the same rig, however, something is disconnected between the rear wheel and driveshaft. It's not even turning the back of the dual high.

Neither axle key seems to be sheared. It's supposed to be at a show this weekend, so I guess it is going to be a trailer queen. Then I guess I will be doing exploratory surgery.

Checked one keyway this morning before work. I'll check the other later. Are broken axles common on model A's? The engine I am using actually has less power than the original A engine.

Got a car. Actually more of s speedster but it has a model A rear axle and brakes. Last time I drove it, I let off the clutch, and nothing happened. Messed with the clutch linkage a bit, though I think it was fine and tried again and nothing. Then for some reason I pumped the brakes and it took...
