1. Frequently there will be an cup for engine oil on the generator and distributer. 2. If you pump too much grease into the water pump it will end up in the cooling system. I like to use chassis grease but some recommend waterproof grease. The later, in my opinion, plugs up the radiator. 3. If you pump too much grease into the fitting on the underside of the rear axle housing it will end up on the brakes. 4. If you need to remove a rear brake drum spend the money and get a good puller (see archives). Axles are expensive. 5.Put a couple of drops of engine oil into the recesses on the throttle shaft as it passes behind the engine. The lubrication chart in my instruction book actually misses this lubrication point. 6. There is a lubrication chart in the "Instruction Book" that came with the car. If you don't have one, buy one. With all of the mechanical brake parts there is a ton of fittings. Charlie Stephens |

Re: Going to look tomorrow, need advice
There is one thing I do to check to see if a car has been "loved" in its past . I check the front spring shackles ,there should be a gap of about 1/4" or thereabouts between the the bottom of the shackle and the axle . If the running gear of the car has been neglected the shackles and bushes can be so worn that the shackle is resting on the axle . This will mean that regular greasing has been neglected and there will be wear in the clevises ,brake cross shafts,wheel bearings etc etc . All an easy fix anyway . You STOLE THAT CAR !!! best ever family car and with that interior you can take Fido !!! ( wuff wuff )
For Kevin the BB front brake levers should be the same for AA the part number is BB -2084 was AA- 2084 which normally means they are the same .This is from an English parts book current for January 1935 . I think I have these in the "stores",I will check . John in lovely sunny day Suffolk County England . Last edited by john charlton; 04-04-2018 at 01:21 PM. |
