Re: Towing Model A
just something to think about.
If you were to Tow hundreds of miles, I wouldn't with the rear wheels on the ground.
Why? Because with the transmission in Neutral and the engine off the only thing turning inside is the mainshaft. All of the gears would be stopped. If no gears are turning there will be No lubrication splashing around to keep the mainshaft lubed. It is possible to have the mainshaft seize with one of the gears not turning. It usually is first gear. I've seen a few Muncie 4 speeds do this over the years.
You would have to be towing several hundred miles before things would get hot I believe.
