About three weeks ago a blade came off the fan in my pickup. The blade did some damage i.e. destroyed the inner and outer distributer caps, the rotor, broke a small piece off the intake manifold and bent the sealed bearing fan hub shaft. Thank goodness there was no hood or radiator damage. Not...

Has anyone found a readily available blade for the 42-48 four blade fan? Mine shed a blade Thursday taking the cap off the front mounted distributor and doing some other minor damage. Needles to say motive action ceased immediately. Speedway has a universal six blade that looks promising. I...

Went to the Redmond, Oregon swap meet yesterday and found this diamond-in-the-rough. I may have over paid a bit as the guy needed $1.00 for it. What say you? The vender is from Eastern Oregon and said he was out walking behind his house and found what he thought was a 2 1/2 yard dump box setting...

Wishing you the very best of the holiday season and a bright and prosperous new year. Keep them Fords rolling.

I need to replace/repair the drag link on my 45 1/2 ton, the fixed ball end is loose. I've done a search here and looked at many posts and it appears there is no good solution. Some seem to suggest that a kit from Speedway was the answer but, all the kits I saw were for a straight tie rod or...

I'm considering making a sealed bearing fan hub for my 59 AB motor and was wondering if anyone knew of an engineered drawing for one. If I can find a drawing it will save me reinventing the wheel as it were.

Merry Christmas from Central Oregon. May all of you enjoy the best of the holiday season and may all your resolutions and wishes come true.

A while back I asked for help/information regarding what type of gear oil to use in an old Cat grader, with your help I settled on NAPA GL-1. Thought you might like to see the old yellow iron. She's a 1953 Cat 212 with a pony start, D 311, 4 cylinder, 4" bore diesel. Only about 45 horse power...

Anyone know where I might find information about the applications of the different rated gear oils specifically GL-1 and GL-4. I need to replace the oil in a 1953 Cat motor grader transmission though it is non-syncromesh it does have brass bushings in it so no GL-5. The operators manual says to...

47 1/2 ton pickup rolling chassis, running gear mostly there missing generator, starter and distributor. The steering column has been cut, no sheet metal, the Muppets rat rod crew got to it before me. Health issues make me realize I'll never get to this one and I don't need the parts so I'm...

May your new year be filled with many wonderful Ford adventures.

I'm looking for two 6 volt solenoids for Borg Warner R 10 overdrive transmissions. I have one coming but I would like to try to rebuild/rewind one, anyone have a non-working one they would part with cheap?

Just watched this they're much faster than I am. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1496344303728626&id=114612551901815 There are probably several people here that could teach those boys a trick or two.

Got this a few months ago hoping that the block is good. Was told it was a 47 pickup but when I cleaned the rust off the frame it's marked 99C which I believe is a 39. Is there any value to any of it besides the engine? If not I guess I'll have to scrap it which I really don't want to do. Can't...

Several times over the past couple of years the engine in my 1945 1/2 ton would shudder/cut out for just a fraction of a second. Several times the engine quit running, I thought the condenser or the coil had died. I would change out the coil or condenser and viola it would start and run...

Anyone know JW Hansen aka thirt4? I owe him $ for an air cleaner but haven't been able to get a response via PM or E-mail about how much and where to send it. I don't want him to think I'm a flake and don't pay as agreed.

I've searched the forum and can't find the NAPA part number for a 6 volt coil with no built-in resistor for my 59-AB motor. The one I bought from Car Quest two years ago failed after less that 10,000 miles. I have an old style coil for a spare, just in case I break down on the road, but I want a...

My 59 AB has developed a miss. Starts and runs fine then while driving it will miss just once then go for a while and miss again. It's like the ignition is turned off and immediately back on. I intended to hook up my old analog volt meter to the input side of the coil and have it in the cab...

Monday evening we came home just in time to see the fire department cutting a hole in my garage/shop roof to vent the fire that was burning in it. :eek: We talked to one of the officers and they told the fire guys that my truck was in the garage. The fire guys used a hot saw to cut open my new...

Just back from a test run to check for leaks after replacing my water pumps and thermostats. Everything looks good with that. I parked in the garage and went in and had a cup of coffee and when I went back out to the garage I heard a clicking noise coming from the engine compartment. I open the...
