Re: Too much gear lube
FINAL OUTCOME. When I pulled the top plug on the transmission and the rear axle this cool morning, the fluid levels were right where they should be. As long as I was under the car I changed the lube...

Re: Too much gear lube
If you let the car cool down before checking levels, you will lessen the chance of burning yourself on the muffler.
Boy don't I know that.

Re: Too much gear lube
Thanks all for the responses. My history. I've owned this car for more than 30 years and have done most all maintenance myself. I keep an eye on the levels and this is the first time I've ever...

Re: Too much gear lube
Old31. Thanks for your reply. I can see hoe a transmission could be overfilled if you had the top of the box off and put the lube in. But, the real axle will only hold enough to reach the fill...

Too much gear lube
Need some advise. After driving about 15 miles yesterday I pulled the '30 town sedan into the garage and decided to check the level in the rear axle. When I pulled the top plug the gear lube gushed...

Re: Radiator Bracket Repair
What Gary said. Several years ago I had the same problem. I took it to our local radiator shop and they soldered it back on, boiled out, and repainted it for about $75. Well worth the money.

Re: Jazz Age '28 Sport Coupe on Hemmings Auction
I tend to agree that this car is over done. My '30 town sedan is restored to original but I never get the prize. It usually goes to the guy driving a car that is heavily modified but looks original....

Re: Second gear
Sounds to me like the round ball on the bottom of the shifter is now worn to a square ball. Don't ask me how I know.

Re: Cooling Air Flow Experiment
I have to agree with Bob. He's in cold New York and I'm in cold Ohio. We can't drive 'em in the winter so we play with them. Keeps the mind active. Mine cools fine too but why not experiment and...

Gary, Bob is sort of laid up at the moment. I don't know when we will get to it, but all the advice we've been given here at the Barn has been well received. We're pretty sure it's the loose dipper...

Re: Ford Yard
As I was walking into the garage the other day I marveled that my 1930 Model A town sedan was parked next to my wife's 2020 Ford Escape. What a difference 90 years makes!
