Re: 37 muffler
Waldrens seems to have good prices on OEM design mufflers and pipes. My exact fit 1936 cost me $100 plus shipping.

Re: Brake Adjustment 1936 Mechanical
John, thanks for those tips. Yes, I agree the front drums should be warmer than the rears if they are grabbing first. So with that said, I assume I should adjust them in such a way that the rears...

Re: Brake Adjustment 1936 Mechanical
So a little more on the brake situation. I feel I can't get the adjustment on the wedge right until I get the proper adjusting tool. An open end wrench will only tighten them so much, then slips off...

Re: Brake Adjustment 1936 Mechanical

Re: Brake Adjustment 1936 Mechanical
I didn't take off the pn 2053 wedge post so I'm going to assume it was on that up against the backing plate. Everything is all back together just waiting for some clevis pins for the brake rods to...

I really have not found any worn parts, everything looks good. I pulled the fronts all apart, cleaned everything and put it back together, no grease as IMO it just collects dirt and brake dust. Both...

Re: Brake Adjustment 1936 Mechanical
So should I assume that both front brake shoes should expand on the bottom when I push the brake pedal and I should be able to see this with the drum off, just like the rears?

Re: Brake Adjustment 1936 Mechanical
When you talk about pins and eyelets this probably will all make sense once I dig into this, but are you basically talking about all the rod end connections?
