    Anybody modified an ATV/mower snow plow for Model A?

    In an effort to save my back this year, I bought an ATV snow plow/pusher/blade in hopes to mount it to the Tudor to clear the driveway. The blade came with its original mounting rig. I’d like to see how others have done it. I’ve seen pictures of doodlebugs with plows that are more permanent, but...

    AA 4-speed in 30 Tudor... emergency brake rod length?

    I bought a 30 Tudor that has a 4-speed transmission installed. I’m wondering if anybody knows what length of rod do I need from the emergency brake handle to the cross shaft (or at least, how do I properly measure it). I remember that it’s roughly around 20 inches. The cross shaft is currently...

    My steering box blew up!

    Ok. Not entirely accurate, however the lower bearing burst out the bottom end of the box... and now I have a 64 Galaxie that is no longer a daily driver. Can I just get a new bearing, set it in place, then tap the cap back on? I didn't see anything that would make me think there's a snap ring...

    Factory 4-speed in 30 Tudor?

    I recently bought a 30 Tudor that was advertised as a possible police car. It has a spotlight and (I'm told) a 4-speed transmission. I haven't driven it outside of the driveway yet because I need to address some stuff first, but I'm curious about this transmission. I haven't gotten it into a 4th...

    how to use an antique handheld two-point battery tester?

    i'm sure most of us know what i'm referring to. it's got a handle, two terminal points, and a dc volt gauge... and it looks like it came from frankenstein's castle. anyhow, i recently picked one up (gauge has 3 volts up/3 down) and i'm wondering how to properly use it. haven't found anything...

    first night at first start attempts... no start, dripping carb (with fire!)

    i've already figured out that i did my timing wrong (as it seems so many people do) by pointing the rotor on the #4 cylinder instead of the #1 (10 o'clock versus 5 o'clock). anyway, i've got that figured out. i just gotta readjust it next time i'm over there. but my other issue was that fuel...

    half-round horn

    i've got one of the cheaper-looking horns with a half-round rear end rather than the traditional can type. this may actually be the same horn, but i haven't found any markings yet, so i'm not sure. everything looks exactly the same...

    rayfield carbs have RIF on the front. if you have one in any condition, let me know. i probably can't afford anything right off the bat because of income, but if you have something, let's work something out. it's my long-term goal for a carb. thanks! edit: and thanks SO MUCH to the group, i...

    Wanted: Model AA PTO handle

    i may just be able to make one (as i currently have no intention of using it "for" anything yet), but i'd like to see the handle for the PTO that mounts on the e-brake lever. i've seen drawings, but nothing else. i have the PTO, but the handle is busted off. if you've got one, i may buy it if...

    WTB: AA transmission tower or parts

    i broke the reverse lockout rod that runs alongside the shift lever, so i'm only specifically looking for that. i have not been able to find a new replacement. last resort is making my own, but would rather not. if you've got the 4-spd tower, i may be interested in that.
