Re: Any way to check condition of wood in fordor

Thank you all very much for your opinions! I appreciate your expertise. Will keep you updated on how it goes and if I purchase it. I am definitely not lookin for a project so I hope the wood is good.

Any way to check condition of wood in fordor

Hi all, I have a few questions, mostly regarding preventative maintenance. I may be purchasing a 28/29 fordor that looks like it was restored at some point. I never wanted a pre-S/W fordor due to all...

Re: Shifting trouble in a 29'

Ron, what exactly do you mean the hub is not pressed against the color. Is it supposed to be? Doesn't seem like it would be easy to move.

Re: Shifting trouble in a 29'

Well I got the second spring in place as suggested. To my complete disappointment, it does nothing. Something is sticking somewhere and its not enough for two springs to overcome it.

Thank you...

Re: Shifting trouble in a 29'

Well the hub problem is still not ok. The shifting is ok, but the clutch/hub/bearing is still sticking. I can't figure it out. I took 1955's (post #95) suggestion and ordered a clutch spring today....

Re: Shifting trouble in a 29'

Gunmetal the shifting is ok now. It's the throwout bearing and the hub not retracting all the way/getting stuck in the forward position that is the problem.

Re: Shifting trouble in a 29'

Have it some wacks and sprayed some more. Doesn't seem to have done anything. Is there anyway to remove that shaft either to the left or right side to clean ends?

Re: Shifting trouble in a 29'

Jeff in BC, I wouldn't know the status on the fork as I cannot see it. Is it viewable from the inspection plate?

Re: Shifting trouble in a 29'

Thank you for the replies. I have tried your suggestions this morning. I disconnected the pedal and had the same result. When the hub is forward, it get stuck. Move it 1/8" back (with help of the...

Re: Shifting trouble in a 29'

1955 I did check the freeplay and adjusted for what should be an adequate setting for now but as I said after I adjusted it to have less free play, the hub will not retract even when I pull the pedal...

I was worried when you asked this, but just checked, and it is! It is also 11 turns just like the one in the picture.

Re: Shifting trouble in a 29'

A few weeks ago, before I knew about the Ford barn, and after reading Les Andrews book, I adjusted the clutch pedal travel. Today I measured and it had about 2" free play. I know, too much. I...

Re: Shifting trouble in a 29'

Little update. Removed the spring, it is held on by the black wire seen in the video. The hub does not move forward/backward with the pedal at rest, if that makes sense. If I pull the pedal all the...

Re: Shifting trouble in a 29'

Re: Shifting trouble in a 29'

Ok I will oil it. Is there anything wrong with shooting some PB Blaster/wd-40 on the shaft if I am carefull not to get it anywhere else? Or should I strictly stick to some sort of oil (if so, what...

Re: Shifting trouble in a 29'

We'll seeing as I am able to retract it manually by pulling the pedal pack, isn't it safe to assume everything is correct? If it was shorter/longer it wouldn't retract when I pulled the pedal back. I...

Re: Shifting trouble in a 29'

Thanks, Jim. I have a small grease gun so it's not as much as a full size one. I disconnected the clutch pedal earlier and the pedal was able to move freely with no binding.
