Thanks for the replies. I have tried cranking it by hand, but it was very hard for me to turn the crank. I have never cranked one before so I don't know how much resistance I should experience as I turn it. I also put the transmission in third year and pushed it forward with no positive results...

Thanks for the suggestions. I did try to crank by hand, but I could hardly turn the crank! I'll loosen the starter tomorrow, rock the car in third, and if that doesn't work I'll order a new switch. Does a new switch come with the screws and gasket, or should I order them also. When I removed the...

My 29 Tudor has been starting fine until yesterday. I started it, ran it for a while, turned it off, tried to start it again, and absolutely nothing. I checked the battery and I have 6.24 volts both at the battery and at the starter. I removed the starter switch, cleaned the contact button etc...

I also have USAA and they directed me to American Collectors. Their rates seem very reasonable to me. I have not had any need to file a claim, so I don't know how quickly they settle claims.

I have recently removed the top hinge pins on my29 Tudor. I first ground the top and bottom of the pins so that I had flat surfaces. I then found the center of the pin, and used a 12inch long by 3/8 inch wide drill bit and drilled down from the top about 3/4 of an inch. I then used a punch on...

No problem with my I-phone or I-pad.

I have not used it yet, but I have purchased them from NAPA, will mix it and put it in the transmission and differential of my 29 Tudor this week. I'll reply again as soon as I drive it

It is my understanding that the brand of the tire will dictate the tire pressure. When I bought my 29 Tudor it had new tires and I noticed the tube valve stem was projecting from one wheel on an angle. I read that some of the lower priced tires requires 55 psi. to prevent this. That is what I...

Thanks CW, I,ll check the toe in.

King bee Yes, I read that the steering box takes 600 wt. oil, but the steering box on my car has a zerk fitting on the top. Wow! I just looked at the drawing of the 7 tooth steering box in the snyder's catalog, and it shows an oil fill plug in the location of the grease fitting on my car! There...

I got to drive my 29Tudor today for the first time. It was very difficult to keep it within my lane. Before I drove it, I put the front end on jack stands, greased every fitting I could see, including the steering box. I held the top and bottom of each wheel and tried to shake it. Very little...

Again I say thanks. I worked on it today, put it back on the motor and cannot start the car because I am waiting for a new sediment bulb gasket which is on its way, along with other parts, from Snyder's. I do not anticipate any problems. Next I will attempt to install a speedometer cable. There...

I thank each of you for Your suggestions. As you can probably tell, this is my first model A and I have a lot to learn! I have a four blade metal fan integrated with the pulley. Yes, I am going to replace the shaft with a stainless steel. I purchased the rebuild kit from Snyder's and did not...

I started to rebuild the water pump on my 29 Tudor and I am not able to remove the fan and pulley from the shaft. I see that Snyder's sells a tool for this but I wold like to get the job done and not wait for the tool to arrive. Any suggestions? Thanks, Bill

Thanks for all your comments and suggestions. I really appreciate each of you taking the time to help a novice "newby", and I will proceed with your suggestions. I know I am really going to enjoy this hobby, but I also suspect my checkbook will receive more use! I am also getting comfortable...

As you can probably tell, I am new to this forum. I purchased a 1929 Model A Tudor last Monday. This is my first Model A and I am excited about it. It was drivable, but I live 50 miles from where I purchased it so I had it delivered to my home on a wrecker. I noticed when I drove it, before I...

I am new to the forum and as a pastor I know I am really going to enjoy it here. I will pick up my 1929 Tudor tomorrow, and will probably be asking many questions as this is my first model A. May each of you and your families continue to recieve God's blessings
