Re: Gear Grind After Clutch Adjustment

1&1/2"-2" is good for free play. Look for a crack while depressing and releasing the clutch peddle. You don't want the clutch to not work comming to a stop at an intersection, or pulling into your...

Re: Different length rear axle shaft threads on either side?

Maybe they were made by different manufacturers.

Re: help! clutch won‘t disengage…

Yes, with a crack things can move, but not enough to disengage the disk.

Re: Transmission pops out of third gear

I remember they were .006. Did it pop out of gear for the last owner?

Re: Throw out bearing grease fitting

The throwout bearing most likely is the type that will not take grease and the fitting is only there to lube the bearing collar. Why not leave it as is and just give it a few drops of heavy oil now...

Re: installing grease baffle on front wheels Model AA truck

So the AA has a grease seal somewhere? It still looks (in photo) like the bearing is outside the baffle, and could still sling grease onto the brake lining. My model a doesn't have any grease seal in...

Re: installing grease baffle on front wheels Model AA truck

What I don't see in the photo is any baffle around the bearing, or is it part of the hub?

Re: installing grease baffle on front wheels Model AA truck

I believe the drawing is the correct application. On Bob C's photo, how does the baffle even function? It is inside of the slinging grease from the bearing.

Or the bendix is stuck. OOPS! I see you could turn it by hand.

Does it turn over with the hand crank?

Re: Eaton gas cap, original or aftermarket?

Rusted away. Looks like they would have to pay royalties if it isn't.

Re: Rear main options

You have been given a few good options. So if you don't even address the clearance while it is already opened up and can't afford any repair, what are you going to do when it completely fails?

Re: How many miles should spark plugs last?

When the electrode is burnt away so it can't be gapped, it is time for a new plug.
