Default Went for a Sunday Drive - Came home with Model A parts

Went for a short Sunday drive, while I was out I got a call from a friend cleaning out his conex, I had been looking for some rear hubs. Wound up getting a full load of parts. I also got a frame, and earlier in the winter I got the engine and transmission, almost a complete chassis.

Check out this ring and pinion, 7-39, looks like it was run for quite a while, wonder what it sounded like.

So I go to the dump. Everyday spring Saturday at the town "recycling center" and everyone is in full swing leaving all the stuff that has accumulated since the fall.

Even the Dump Nazi is feeling generous and ignoring those who "pick the pile."

And I see the familiar top of a Model A transmission in among the metal stuff.

So I grab a metal broom handle left on the pile and bend the end over by wedging it between two of the hernia blocks used to surround the metal pile. Reaching in I snag the tranny underneath the shift knob and pull it up.

It was someone's barn clean out. We still have a lot of the older agricultural barns in our area and a lot of machinery is left over. Mostly now the area has grown up into housing subdivisions, but the barns remain. That is the barns and their treasures remain....

Brought home and dissected, it revealed that it was set aside because of a severely brinnelled 2nd gear. Everything except the 2nd slider (most worn) and the cluster (slightly damaged) was perfect. I estimate the tranny might have had 40K on it - but how to know?

That tranny with a new top, gears and bearings is now the one used on the March 29 Pickup.

They are out there...
