Ted. All the photos are from a 35 LHD and I am trying to figure out if it is in fair shape to use on my 33 RHD. If you have a new RHD one you can sell, please send me a PM and I will buy it. BTW, received your Brake Kit last week. Manuel

Thanks for clarifying which is the area that wears out. I took several more photos with the side view as you recommended. I labeled the photo where I believe the race/bearing sits on the worm on both ends (correct me if wrong). The surface is flat and even and has several extremely thin...

Thank you Kurt. I know NOS is best, but again, we are talking about a RHD for a 1933. It is very hard to find a new one. You suggested looking at the race/bearing seats of the worm. These additional photos taken today show the condition of the worm at the upper and lower seats. Not sure what...

It has been several years since I finished restoring my 1933 Tudor. I want your opinion regarding the condition of this gear that I may have to use. Before you can comment let me say that my car lives in Paraguay, South America, and is a RHD Tudor. I live in the US and visit every 3 months and...

I found a complete 35 gear box that I decided to disassemble to learn how it works. The big issue when disassembling is how to remove the worm, which is pressed very tightly to the shaft. After several failed attempts trying to pull using hand tools, I came up with an improvised puller that did...

Good catch. I missed the fender dip but I saw the hood gap and asked for one more picture which confirms this problem. The seller knows nothing about the car, is a used car dealer. I learned that car was at an auction a year ago in Denver and highest bid was 7500 and did not sell. Some red flags...

The ID plate is partially covered by an electrical component (fuses?). These are the numbers and letters that are visible, arranged in 4 separate lines: ENGINE - 6D-2437 (the rest is covered, not visible) TRIM - M-165 (the rest is covered, not visible) PAINT - M - 39 (the rest is covered...

The number stamped on the body is better seen in my computer. It is 24G 21452. Is not the ID plate which I show in a separate picture. Meaning??

Can anybody decode these numbers on the firewall? Just sent to me by the seller. Do they confirm is Canadian?

Thank you! Had to leave it in South America but in good hands. A daughter who likes old cars is taking care of the 33, fires the engine once per week and takes it for a short spin once a month. Has been doing it for 2 years and the model B engine keeps running great without even a drop of oil leak.

Knowing that is Canadian, can anyone help decoding the serial number 24G21452? Not even sure if is a correct number but need to give a try.

Good point. I searched more and I think this is a Canadian model, the so called Mercury 114 (for the 114" wheelbase as oppossed to the 118" of US model).It is a Ford with a Mercury Grille, but different from the US version in the following: 1) Park lights are rounded and under headlight...

I live in Western SD at the foot of the Black Hills. Climate here is very dry and minimal use of salt in the winter. Very different than Eastern South Dakota at the border with MN. Car is in northern Colorado, a few hours from me. Yes, I will certainly get under the car to check. I was given...

Re: What to check on a 46 Mercury? These are the available pictures. Talked to seller today, a used car dealer, and he promised to send me photos of the engine tomorrow. Does it look stock and correct for a 46? Is this an original Mercury color? Wheels and covers? Notice there is a spot on the...

Yeah, your memory is sharp ! considering Paraguay is not in my Avatar anymore. I am back in less tropical land in South Dakota. Still own the 33 model B which - in my biased opinion - is a car with such a beautiful design.

Hello FordBarners. Some of you may remember me from a few years ago when I posted all the restoration process of my 33 Tudor. After a pause of nearly 4 years I am now ready for a “new” FOMOCO car and found a 46 four door Mercury within my reach and budget. I will check it this weekend and since...

Thank you, but I won't be able to measure it as it to compare with yours. You are right that it may be a "made" one. Just like most of these cars, this one had tons of improvised fixes that I could find during the restoration and this may have been one that I did not notice. I found this...

It does not touch the radiator. This pulley was in the car when I bought it. I had it refinished at a machine shop but the length was not modified. I thought it was the correct one and never took measurements so don't know if it is longer than what is supposed to be. In the photo shown below it...

OK, it seems you all agree my generator is correct for this 33 car with 4 cyl engine. That part of my question seems resolved. You have noticed that a modification was made to its bracket, which was unknown to me. I searched old photos and found the ones below that I think show the long...
