1. Can I use the gears out of the side shifter in my 39 top loader?
2. Can the psi plates I have be reused?
3. Will the bell housings & starter plates I have work with what I have?
4. Can anyone tell from the pictures if my flywheel is ok?
Thanks Fellas

Hey Josh....You're welcome on the pics.
1....You CAN use the gears from the side shift in the '39 box. The gears are
identical in design, but.....swap as a COMPLETE SET.
2....If you mean 'PRESSURE Plates', you can't tell if they're any good by looking. They're
reasonable enough, and it's something you don't want to think about
pulling an engine out to do over. Contact Mac VanPelt or Ft. Wayne
Clutch.
3....Yes, but the STARTER Plates MUST be a match for the individual bell that
you use.
4....You can NOT use that flywheel on an 8BA. It looks awful, anyway! Your
flywheel is a 1948 and earlier wheel. You can tell because the LATE (8BA) wheel has the six clutch bolt holes drilled ALL the way through the wheel. Your holes are "blind"....NOT drilled all the way thru. Also, your ring gear appears to be the WIDE (EARLY) one. Good, used 8BA flywheels are available. I'd be willing to bet someone on the 'Barn here might have one to donate for postage, or you can advertise for one in the "WANTED" section here. But NOTE the difference in height between the early and 8BA wheels. Starter will NOT line-up properly with wrong wheel.....whew! DD
