Re: 3.54:1 Differential Overhaul

Looks good.
I installed 3:54 gears in my 40. Dad did the A and regretted not regearing to 3:54.

Re: Stuck rear hub - how to get it off

My uncle was pulling a gear off a tapered shaft. When it let go, it flew across the room and hit me in the mouth. Broke my two front teeth.

Re: First Model A

Here in Montana the antique/pioneer plates limit use to parades and car shows. I like to take to church on Sundays or out to dinner now and them so I went for regular plates on both my vintage cars.

Re: differential issues?

I think if you are not going to rebuild it, I would put it back together as it was. If you shim the bearing then you will have to set up the rear end for backlash all over. If going that far I would...

Re: slight cooling system leak

Do you have original style hose clamps?
I've had a heck of a time with those. I finally gave up and went to modern hose clamps.

Re: Oil Filter Return

I used the original bolt. I could not find an original style return hose so I had to come up with something that would work as a replacement.

Re: Lost Another Member

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers.
Here are some pictures of him with his car and my truck.
That truck took his mother to the hospital when he was born.

Re: Are these rear springs needed?
