AA u joint help!

[jkeesey]

I need the help of all the gurus out there. I'm working on an early 30 AA and at some point in its life a long time ago it lost one of its u joint caps and has been driven ever sine bangin and clangin away. Now I would like to fix this problem but cannot seem to find anyone selling a new AA u joint assembly. So my question is will the A7090 u joint assembly sold fit the AA?

[Rowdy]

If it is like this one give me a call this evening. Rod

AA's don't need no stinkin' caps!

Don't need no stinkin' grease either!

[jkeesey]

Haha nice Tom. The one I'm working on has the small circlips to hold the u joint in, or at least its supposed to.

[Bob C]

Does it look similar to this one?

Kinda but not really Bob. This one does not have the circlips that go in the sides of the caps but on the bearing surface of them like a standard A.

[Rowdy]

Forgot the link the first time, but editted it in. Rod

That's the right design Rod but the wrong spline count. This one I need is 10 in and 10 out.

[Bob C]

The one Rowdy that I saw is 10X10.

[Rowdy]

Ok, so you have a 3 speed or the longer wheel base truck then. Rod

[Brian T]

The a-7090 u-joint is for the model A car, the truck u-joints are not supplied by the vendors, I assume the one you need is between the coupling shaft and the rear drive shaft? and normally is a 10-10 spline joint which you can see in Rowdys pics page 11.
Here is a pic of the 3 I had, the one on the left is the one I think you need, if not post a pic of the one you need.

[Rowdy]

Simular to this one which I was told was for a 1938 or later. Rod

[Bob C]

The AA has 1 1/4" drive line and the BB is 1 3/8". Most of the BB and later u-joints I have
seen have needle bearings.

Rod that last one you put up looks like it!

[Rowdy]

I will see if it is still here in the shop or if I took it back out at the farm. Looks like will be spending the evening in the shop. As Bob pointed out the size difference I will measure this one to make sure it is not the flathead era U-joint. Rod

[jkeesey]

The one I have is 1 1/4" on both ends

[jkeesey]

Brian T, the one on the left is the one I need.

[Rowdy]

I found it in the shop and this one is 1 3/8". Rod

Jon,
I purchased one for my AA from B & B model a parts in nj.
Not sure if he is still in business.
Another source is Bert's Model A parts in Co.

I just sold it a month ago with a NOS cross, your best bet would be Berts in Denver, be sure to give them the exact details with a pic if possible.

I am looking for a AA u joint like the middle one in your photo, any help would be great.

Try Berts Model A in Denver ! MY family and I was at Berts last month on vacation, had a private tour of the business, very impressive.
