Re: Help to identify an overdrive
I think it looks like one I had. It was a BW but used by the orphan makes like Willis, Studebaker, etc.

Re: Help to identify an overdrive
Yeah, that's definitely one of the Borg Warner conversions. There used to be one or more folks that performed those conversions but they have fallen by the wayside for the more modern manufactured types and T-5s being more popular. They were basically the tail shaft & housing out of a BW 3-speed & overdrive. They generally use a cable for lockout and an electric solenoid to make them shift up.

Re: Help to identify an overdrive
Looks like the handiwork of Lloyd E Young, from Ohio. I just talked to him yesterday morning. He still does the Borg Warner R10 conversions.

Re: Help to identify an overdrive
Does Lloyd Young provide the OD and torque tube, or does the customer provide the cores?

Re: Help to identify an overdrive
You ship your torque tube, drive shaft and coupler, and he sends it back with the OD in it and the wiring to make it work.

Re: Help to identify an overdrive
Klawockvet: Your photos look SIMILAR but not identical to the BW R10 set-up in my '47 sedan coupe. (i.e. where's the solenoid unit) See attached photos; markings on my BW case read "R10B-1G; W.G. Div; SB3; 2 J152". Lloyd Young thinks he did it many years ago. Last talked to him two years ago .... he was still working then at age 83. Very knowledgeable OD man.
Lloyd E Young 4915 Lithopolis Winchester Rd Canal Winchester, OH 43110 (614) 837-7832 Also, let me know if you need wiring diagram and O&P manuals. PS: Llyod says use 140 weight gear oil in these. Last edited by Drbrown; 05-28-2015 at 09:47 PM. |

Re: Help to identify an overdrive
that sure is a good looking set up... to me it looks a lot more compact than the mitchel and a quite a bit more simple than the columbia... Mr Young is quite creative....

Re: Help to identify an overdrive
Anyone know what to use to attach the OD shafts to the torque tube shaft?

Re: Help to identify an overdrive
That shaft is cut and welded to a sprocket, the original shaft has a sprocket welded on, and there is a chain coupler that holds the two together.
I have one of these units in my '40. I know not to operate the unit in reverse in overdrive, but if the solenoid is off and one forgets to pull the lockout handle before reverse, what would happen? I'm assuming the unit would just freewheel and not damage anything but I'd like to be sure before I start driving with it. |
