Hello all, I need help with the correct ID of this transmission. It was put into this 1931 Model A 60 or so years ago, and I need to replace the support, and build a better mount. Any help with the ID would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John

Is three a Model B engine too or just the B trans? Maybe someone will chime in if there is a floto motor mount for the B engine in an A Chassis?

It's a Model 'B' 4-cylinder trans.........'32-'34. DD

Thanks guys, yes the engine is a B model. Thank you V8Coop for the positive ID. There were no stay rods, but shouldn't it have them as well when I make a new mount?
Thanks again.

The '32-'34 four cylinder used the same transmission case and gears. The shifter tower had a provision for the emergency brake handle in '32. Since it doesn't appear to be a provision for an emergency brake handle I assume the shifter tower is '33-'34. The '32 flywheel housing had two flat spots where an "L" shaped bracket mounted for the stay rods (anti chatter rods). These flat spots look like the location of the rear motor mounts at first glance but they are just in approximately the same location. This bell housing is probably '33-'34 where the stay rod went through the flywheel housing. I assume the rear transmission mount is '33-'34 but will leave that to the experts.
