Why my second gear sounded like a concrete mixer !

Gearbox re-birth . Out with the old and in with the nearly new .







Parts that got replaced



Someone has been here before me .I dont think Henry was importing bearings from Sweden .



Once I get the rebuilt motor next week the motor and gearbox will go in as one unit I hope.

Ground cork. Told to me in the mid 60's by an old gentleman who made his living in the car business. Never forgot.

all good tech!! lol cures for trans and bacon rinds in days of old rebuilt and cured, no pun intended, cured or rebuilt many a Model A engine!!


pennies on the dollar! $$


today, thousands get spent on restoration(s), parts & repairs... and not always solves or improves the wear or problems! I only have to see some of the prices asked for 'old tin' in the Classifieds! OMG!!

Did anybody else notice that is a RHD gearbox/bell housing setup?

Well I still have the original motor that could definitely benefit from a reduction in piston slap.One day ........
