To address the question of the condition of this freewheel cam, the photos of the two parts show two things. The inner hub appears to be in pretty...
Try to keep the freewheel cam assembly together as you separate it and handle it. Although it’s more difficult to clean when assembled, it can be...
At the moment we probably have 3-4 nice good used planetary gears in stock, and plenty of nice used sun gears. It’s impossible to tell from the...
The simple answer is…..almost certainly not. The transmission in the photo is from the 1953-62 variety as used in the F-100 pickups. It is Ford’s...
Don’t forget the Packard museum in Dayton, Ohio. It’s in an original old Packard dealership building, so the dealer showroom and the service area...
I want to stock wire bullet connectors for some of the vintage Ford applications we deal in. The original bullet connectors were crimped to the...
The 59T-7006 casting number confirms that this is definitely the non-synchro truck 4 speed spur gear transmission. The removable hogs head adapter...
Don’t know how important this detail is but the boss on the shifter housing (side cover of the transmission) sticks out a bit further on the 1951...
Pretty sure I see two cracks in the front bearing retainer opening, plus the major chunk of casting broken off one of the bolt holes for the...
Without machine shop receipts specifying the work done, and receipts for parts purchased, it’s just a core motor. Even if the motor had been run...
If you’re inspecting a typical Ford toploader 3 speed transmission, which happens to be the closed drive configuration for a torque tube...
We’re asked this question frequently. The original spec for the Ford overdrive transmissions was 90 weight gear oil and the GL-1 specification was...
The 2nd gear with the oil slots on the back face would be normally used with the 81A type mainshaft. The 2nd gear with the smooth rear facing is...
The 81A-7061 mainshaft has the pin and needs the 81A-7071 spacing washer (which butts up against the backside of the 81A-7102 second gear. If you...
We watched the first episode. We like Tim Allen and were hoping to see a bit more car stuff going on, but we were somewhat disappointed with the...
Good advice from the folks here. I can tell you that using the early Ford V8 transmission (32-39 types) is apparently okay with the TROG group as...
We created the kit…..it’s basically the group of parts involved: crab cap + crab rotor + the pair of wire side clips that secure the cap to the...
The BW overdrive transmissions should run a 90 weight gear oil. The common GL-4 oil spec is getting harder to find these days. You can run the...
In the transmission business the term “Main Drive Gear” refers to the input shaft/gear at the front of the transmission. The term “Mainshaft” or...
That’s controlled by two things…..first would be the unique snap ring located just in front of the intermediate ball bearing. The advice given...
We only use a dummy shaft now for pushing the factory countershaft pin out of the case during disassembly…..this helps keep the needle bearings in...
They were made with and without the pocket for a replaceable front oil seal. I know we’ve got some without the pocket but not sure if we’ve got...
Squirrel is correct…..it’s a typical 1939 style gearset with the late type synchro assembly. The one in the first photo is shifted into high gear....
Definitely a 41-42 case for a Commercial vehicle with the G series flathead six
The early Ford (1935-48) clutch release fork is a forged steel part. It can be bent but it takes some effort to do so. We’ve seen the fork tips...
We purchased our helicoil repair kit from McMaster Carr. The winder tool is made of steel and is a specific diameter for the insert size as you...
Beginning with the 1932 Ford vehicles, the factory did not stamp the VIN (aka serial number) onto the engine at all. It was stamped onto the...
It goes without saying that (whether it’s a regular 3 speed or overdrive type) gear oil can and will run out of the tail housing if one tilts the...
If you’re filing the transmission with gear oil for the first time, you can speed up the process by pre filling the overdrive section through its...
It’s definitely not a manual transmission part.
Separate names with a comma.
