Good morning,
Yesterday we began restoring a club members transmission. This morning I researched the casting number, 46-7006 and found it was a short lived design using pins to retain the main and idler shafts instead of the plate at the back end of the ******. (it also had the retaining plate - no pins)
Can any add to this info?

Thanks for your help.

I have a new old stock case of this type I acquired around 35-40 years ago in a parts buyout from a Ford dealer. It needs a new home, as I do not need it. So there are a few out there.
 
That number sounds like a V8 part number. Could that case be a replacement case made in the later 30's??
 
"Something I read said in 32 the ****** and bell-housing was one piece?
Does that sound right?"
Correct.
 
Actually, "46" is the part number for four cylinder parts that are specific to '33-4. If the case is Model A type and for Model A gears, which seems to be what this is all about, I suspect that this may mean that it was perhaps a part used in production of Model A engine units for industrial applications, as the A motor was made for quite a few years. I think if it had been made primarily as a slightly updated replacement part for A, it would have carried an A prefix with a letter or number added at end to indicate a new version.
 
Thank you all for your thoughts.
It is interesting though.
We should be putting it back together in a week or so but the car will not be ready for "some time" yet.
 
I thought I'd share a bit of Model A parts history. If you open the link to The Ford Garage you will see the 46 series case that was short lived. Here is another variation from Barnstuf's collection. This version milled as the original Model A case was.
