Re: Dimension Specifications or Allowable Wear
Brent -
Thanks. I have to laugh - I'm used to having the prints around from my working life but of course do not have a set for a 90 year old machine. I actually am waiting for a set of service...

Re: Lloyd Young Car Auction Today
Yep - can be a real fun mind game at times. Extra fun when the 'other bidder(s) are screaming in your face accusing you of being a government agent - that happened to me once. Made for an amusing...

Re: Lloyd Young Car Auction Today
You need to make sure you can 'yip' - give a yell to get the auctioneer's attention, especially if he is not using any ring men. All you have to do is get noticed once - unless the auctioneer is...

Re: Lloyd Young Car Auction Today
I'm not a big poster on here but this time I have to speak up - and I agree with Brent.

Re: Differential Damage Question
Brent -
Thanks for the comments, especially on the drive shaft straightness. Did not think of that but should be easy enough to do.

Differential Damage Question
I posted last fall about noise in rear end. Finally got around to removing the rear end and tear down yesterday. This is off a 1930 pickup with various parts - just a driver that my grandson and I...

Re: Driveline Noise Problem
Bob -
You are right - check the obvious first. See attached pictures. Looks like I will have to study up on pulling the rear end. Plenty of metal without working too hard to find it.

Driveline Noise Problem
I have a 30 CCPU that has developed a driveline noise. The truck sat from 1990 or so until last year when I got it running. As it came to me via a nephew from an estate I really don't know the...
