****** input/main drive ?

[old ugly]

this main transmission drive came out of a case that was in a 1930 car. i have not seen this before. i looked through my books but cant find the answer.

was there a change up where a brass bushing was installed instead of roller bearings?

thank you

i guess i called the transmission a bad word in the title.

i think i figured it out. it appears to have been a way to do a repair.
the bushing must have been installed and the shaft turned down to fit it. as a way to repair either the main shaft or the input shaft.

there seams to be no end to the different repairs done on the Model A.

I've seen clutch pilot bearings replaced with bronze bushings and it seemed to work well. I wonder if the use of a bushing in the input shaft pocket has any effect on the ease of shifting gears.

I was looking at one of my old posts and used the same word, it got ****** also. According to Ryan (the FordBarn Admin) that's due to some new FCC reg. Your nanny government at work.

If that's the case, why are none of the other forums I frequent not censoring these words. Show me proof.

Bronze bushings were used for pilot bearings in some (a lot?) of the flathead V-8s, here in Canada, dunno about the US. I still have a couple in my "assorted parts" collection.

The old Hyatt rollers that usually go in there are no longer in production and some of the repro bearings that are offered as replacements have experienced failures due to the way they are made. This was either in response to a previous failure or a machinists fix to get it going again with a buggered bearing bore in the input. The original Hyatt spiral wound rollers had a good hard surface finish and held oil well in the groove. They also had a much better design to keep the roller in the cage than the modern types.
