Finally got the correct wheels and brake parts home from Eastern Oregon. The wheels are in rough shape, but that's ok, we know how to make them usable. Made new rear lower cowl to frame wood spacers to replace the rotted out ones. Made them from an old pallet as the wood in pallets is generally...

Thanks 40! Enjoying the build, just have to find time between many other projects, we are mostly a motorcycle addicted bunch. Really looking forward to actually driving it as a parade rig or similar. =) In other news, we are looking for a house in Baker City, on the dry side. Should be some...

Some updates; Found the correct wheels and some brake cross shafts in Eastern Oregon, headed over to pick them up tomorrow. Shortened the super tall bus seat-back so it wouldn't looks so dorky. Removed seat trim, padding and plywood back, sectioned the frame, migged it back together and added...

One other idea; using a rubber plow edge that bolts to the bottom of the steel plow. Will reduce the jolting and damage when the blade hits projections in the driveway.

All sold, thanks!

Everything sold now except the remaining good 4 speed.

Sold the parts transmission, drive-line couplings and PTO and PUMP. Will listen to reasonable offers. Thanks!

Still available! =)

Prices are negotiable, especially for a package deal. =)

A or AA Engine: Clean complete engine, stamped # not legible, may have been a rebuild and re-stamp at some point, was told it came out of a running vehicle. Uncertain as to internal condition but looks good. $400. AA 4-Speed Transmissions: 1 complete transmission and one for parts. both appear...

Wheels, brake drums, spacers, studs, nuts and other fun things; Mounting the tires on the newly cleaned and painted wheels was easy enough, it was the prep work to try and get it done safely with really worn out old wheels that was the challenge. Had decided to weld a bridge from one side of...

Thanks! It took a moment to even register that I was actually driving the thing. Did a few more small fixes this morning and drove again, it's a fun little rig and will only get better.

Drove it! Today after wrestling with ancient split rims and mounting tires, finally got to a point where it could at least be driven out of the shop, down the driveway and a few circles around my wife! It drove surprisingly well, there is a long punch list of issues and other items needing to...

Service brake swap out; Finally got to the rear brakes, the original setup was a real mishmash, luckily I was able to buy a worm drive rear end that had complete brakes in good condition including drums. Not shown in photos (because my hands were too greasy) was pre-packing the wheel bearing...

Thanks Bob!

Interesting idea, will have to give that some thought!

Thanks Bob, this is really helpful! Are the two service brake cross shafts the same ones out on ebay, are they yours? i have them on my watch list. From what I can see, the e-brake rod would come down just to the right of the drive line, from the handle to the cross shaft? On the service...

Need some help from you more experienced Model A guys; because my doodlebug started life as an early '29 without emergency brakes, but at some point received a worm drive differential WITH emergency brakes, the prior owners had concocted their own cross bar and connections. What's left to work...

Made a lot of progress today. Got the 2 speed coupled to the trans and the rear end coupled to the 2 speed. Spent more time cleaning parts then the actual bolting up process. Next up was the 2 speed foot pedal assembly and the only rod I had to connect it with was way too long (maybe a brake...

What a great story, thanks for sharing!
