Help with Identifying a part
Hello All,
New to the forum and originally posted this in the To the Editors / Questions and Suggestions section. Yea, that new. Anyway, had help from a couple of members (thanks Charlie Stephens and redmodelt) that directed me here to get more info. I have boxes of loose, no part number, or part numbered parts that don't reference out for me that I would like to identify. I used to spend hours looking through part books diagrams and searching the internet, but got burned out. Google Image Search USED to be good, but that was 10 years ago. Some parts I can tell are for older Ford that fit into this Early V8 year frame, some are later. Some I won't know at all so may make the mistake of posting here. Maybe if others have parts they can't figure out or I post too many, there can be a section called "What is This?" Should I keep posting to the same thread or should I post a new thread for each part? One thread might get confusing with comments generated from the part itself and get mixed as it goes along so maybe I'll try a separate thread for each part needing help. I won't post too many to see how the forum wants to accept or not. Ideas? Anyway, I'd like to post some pictures of parts here that someone might ID. I can then offer for sale to someone who might be able to use them over on the Swap side of the Barn. If no interest there, I'll move them on to eBay. Figured it might be kind of interesting for all. So this one, I was told is a crank adapter for an early Ford. It has the Ford script on it. Threads show witness where I checked thread pitch and came up with 5/8"-18 fine. Stared at it for years, thinking it was a tool, ratchet type piece for a truck bed or ...... If I can get help with a general year and application, I'll should able to find a part number. Thanks in advance for input and help. Jeff |

Re: Help with Identifying a part
This goes on the end of the crankshaft and serves two purposes. One - it holds the crank pulley to the crank and two, if a guy were insane enough, it engages the hand crank.

Re: Help with Identifying a part
The basic number is 6319. Crankshaft cranking ratchet. The prefix is probably B

Thanks Kube. Must be for a Model A then? Only engine I ever turned by crank was an old Wisconsin we put on a brush buggy in Northern Minnesota. Almost shattered my forearm from a badly tuned engine that loved to backfire. |

This is the reason that you should PULL-UPWARD on the crank handle rather than PUSHING-DOWNWARD. If it backfires while PULLING-up, the worst that it can do is jerk the handle free of your hand....no broken bones! DD |

Re: Help with Identifying a part
My 59ab V-8 starts very easily with the hand crank. 1/4 turn pulling up as stated above. I have done it several times. It helps if the engine is warmed up.

Re: Help with Identifying a part
Not sure of the size looking at the picture, but it looks like it could be the size used for a 60 hp flathead.

The one in the photo appears to be a b-6319 (1928-38)

Re: Help with Identifying a part
And never wrap your thumb around the crank as well!

Re: Help with Identifying a part
You would also see these on the early Ford Tractors, 2N, 8N, and 9N. Don't think my 54 NAA has a hand-crank adaptor.

I could repeat my story about winning beers crank-starting my '48 Seagrave with the 468ci Pierce-Arrow V12, but everybody has probably already heard it. |

Re: Help with Identifying a part
Dick, pulling up on the crank is no guarantee of injury free cranking. A friend of mine's father starting a V8 with a 2 piece crank had the crank come apart and the part in his hand swung up and knocked teeth out and required stitches in his face.
Like hand propping an airplane--nothing I want to try. |
