I have a 1929 Model A Sport Coupe. 83.xxx miles, original paint!! Same family owned for 30 years. Lots of options. Wind wings, Moto Meter, Leather Trunk, Grille Guard, Overdrive, Heater. NEW: Starter rebuild, starter switch, battery, cables, lighting harness, carb rebuild, drive shaft, all new...

UPDATE: I studied the area and decided that there was no reason for a chain drive. The tube surrounding the area is bolted securely on both ends and there is no possibility of the flex that a chain drive would dampen. I custom built a drive shaft out of 1 1/4 tube by mig welding the O.D. spline...

Thanks Bob!!! That link is perfect! Does my plan seem solid?

Update: I have cut the sprocket off of the spline side. Spline is in excellent shape. Plan is to MiG the new sprocket on. I lost 1/4 inch after cutting and grinding flat. I am thinking that I will cut the teeth off of the pinion side and MiG the new sprocket on. I had a local old school guy...

Original 1929 Ford Tillotson Model XF Carb for Model A. It has been in a barn for 20+ years. Pretty decent shape; Very serviceable. Look closely at the pictures. Not rebuilt but GOOD CORE TO REBUILD. Asking $40 plus shipping. I also have it on EBay, so let me know if interested.

Thanks Kurt! V8 MGB sounds very interesting. High HP, light weight, short wheelbase; my kind of car!!

Thanks Art!! I appreciate the heads up! Sprockets will be replaced.

I just have to figure out size and procedure to replace....

Thank You!!!

I have found the problem!!! There is a chain that connects the OD to the rear end. It has destroyed itself! I don't yet know where the rest is. Thoughts? Splines look OK. Where can I find this chain??

The problem is definitely in the tube that connects the OD to the rear diff. Whatever connects in there, is grinding hard. I put it up on jack stands and put it in gear. Absolutely no doubt the noise is in that spot.

Hey All, I was sitting at a full stop, put the car in gear, and it wouldn't move. just a grinding noise coming from the tube between the rear diff and the overdrive. I have attached a couple of pictures with arrows showing where the noise is coming from. I believe I have a Borg Warner overdrive...

Original 1929 Ford Model A Wheels. I have 2 total. Not reproduction pieces. I have never had them on a car or professionally checked, but I don't see any bent spokes or other damage. They are coated in primer. I do see some pitting. Found in a barn; in storage 20+ years. What you see is what...
