On the way home, once, left the Studebaker running @ the starter/generator shop & took off the starter off, so I could leave it there for a rebuild, was sorta' DANGEROUS, though! Bill W.

A Datsun 210, with automatic, lost a long through bolt from the starter, the other one was BENT ! I held the starter together with my BARE hands & Gregg cranked it off ! Bill W.

That pic of pulling a steering wheel using a tree blew me away. Proof...There is no obstacle that can stop a "Barner"

Many years ago we had a starter motor failure on a B737 on an out station. Our ground engineer suggested he removed starter on nr 1 while we load the pax, close the doors and start number 2. He then removed the starter from the running nr 2 engine, closed the cowls and fitted the starter to nr 1 off we went. Have 'A' good weekend guys Cheers

Re: Steering column broke in half
A guy loading logs in the mountains at night, ran his BIG lights too long & his Flathead V-8 wouldn't start. Took the plugs out of 4 Cyls, started it, ran it awhile to charge the KAPOOT battery. Put the plugs back in & OFF he went.

Re: Steering column broke in half
To Bob C. The steering wheel pictured in Vince's web-site is not the same one pictured by Glen or Lona or whoever the poster is. Maybe someone else can chime in on the poster's picture. I used to buy these steering wheels NOS in the flea markets and they worked fine. Dale.

Attached is a better photo of the steering wheel. It would be nice to know what it came from if it is not from a standard model A. The roadster is my wife Lona's car but I get to do all the work on it! Glen

Re: Steering column broke in half
That wheel looks like the soybean wheel with the conical hub instead
of the resin wheel. See the Standards page 8-5. Bob |
