I have lovejoys on my wagon and one of them (front Driver) seems soft based on the "push on the fender" test.. it doesn't test well. The rubber in the shock link looks okay, not cracked or falling apart. It appears to be model 1406A (maybe) hard to tell since it is pressed into the casing...

On my 35 with wires, I chose to add beads on the new tires.. I had used them in previous set. Trouble is, the beads clogged the stem.. I had to use a thin wire to break up the clog. Happened when the tire was on the car and when I had it flat on the ground and even tipped to set the stem at a 90...

Having new tires mounted on my 35 (spin balance on Hunter machine). Figure while I am at it, I will check the alignment. Shop has the alignment machine, but it might not have an old guy who understands straight axle cars with kingpins. Can anyone suggest a spot in So Maine? Been researching...

I completed my restoration in 2002. Drove my 35 all over the place for 10 years or so, and then put it in storage for a bunch of years. (twice). As previously reported, I have it back on the road and finding front end shake. Had them spun on a hunter balancer and they seem fine.. look good, etc...

I am removing the radiator from my 35 with 59AB engine.. so will upgrade the water pumps at the same time.. plan is to send a set to Skip, but wanted to ask if anyone has experience with the "new and improved" pumps from Speedway.

Is there a suggested or prescribed torque setting for wheel lug nuts for my 35? I seen anywhere between, "no need to set it", to between 65-80

After numerous efforts to rid the cooling system of build up, I am still experiencing overheating at idle AND I have crud build up sitting in the tank top some likely blocking flow. I removed one piece that was about a 1/4" round and noticed many other small pieces. Does anyone have a video of...

The 35 hydrostatic gas gauge just doesn't work! and I have run out of gas at least twice. .. damn ethanol gas just disappears! and I have to fill from a can just to be sure that I have enough to get to the gas station... LMAO! So I plan to install a new electric aftermarket device with...

The muffler on my 35 wagon popped open on a backfire, it was repaired but did it again.. I tried to find a replacement (NOS or equivalent) but couldn't. So I consulted with a muffler guy and we found an available unit that fit in the tight space (17" shell).. New unit is noticeably louder and it...

Finally have my 35 wagon up and running .. after a bit of effort dealing with overheating... Yes, Thermocure works well! Drove it home, along the interstate at 55/60MPH.. front end started to shake, but not violently, This car did not do that before I put it in storage 10 years ago.. and it...

I have a buyer for a high demand fender in California and need to ship from Maine. While I can get it out via a freight handler the cost to ship may rise to 800-1000$. Does anyone have experience with owner/operator drivers who move parts across the country... like uShip, CitizenShipper...

I was recently the subject of a parts for sale scam and wanted to alert others to what you can expect. I posted the need for a muffler and one respondant said " contact me at this email address". so I did (my first mistake).. he showed a photo of the muffler and quoted a price of $500 (What?) I...

I posted previously on my need to a muffler.. I did get 2 replies on 3/31, but at the time I was new and didn't realize how the private messaging worked. I recently figured that out and I replied to each, but didn't get any answer... did my message arrive? Anyway, to the 2 guys who wrote...

Still dealing with the overheating issue but getting closer. Used Thermocure and that looks to have broken up what is considered "gel" fall out from the green antifreeze. (silicate dropout). Also called Green Snot. It settles in low spots, suggesting a reverse flush.. BUT, the lower hoses are...

Been having some issues with overheating after getting my woodies out of storage... Been flushing it out with clean water, but decided to use some Blue Devil coolant flush.. this is what came out! will be repeating until it is clear.

Took my 35 with 59ab engine out of storage, got it all set up, test drove it and did a bit more work on it. Then it sat for 10 days.. Got it back out on the highway at 55 and within about 2-3 miles coolant was blowing all over the place.. exited... added about a quart... got back on the...
