147 Franklin Airman Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I am in need of parts or a complete working 3 speed gearbox for my 1930 147. The box is a Warner T3A-1.I will also consider a complete 4 speed if any are available.The box or parts will need to be shipped to the UK although my son is in San Francisco until Thursday this week, but not sure if it would fit in his hand luggage.

rob.webb Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 This is the one that has the shifter coming out of the bell housing? (The slanted part of the floorboard...) Or is this the one where the shifter comes out of the body of the transmission? (The flat part of the floorboard...) I have some of either. Are you in need of specific pieces? It would be MUCH CHEAPER to ship just the pieces you need. What about the bell housing? If all you need is the body of the transmission, it is much smaller.Call my dad Lee Webb at 661-599-1670... I doubt we could get anything to San Francisco by Thursday, but he might be able to if you catch him soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

147 Franklin Airman Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 Hi RobWould you know how to remove the selector on the high and intermediate gear shaft? There are 3 of what appear to be slotted screws but I have ruined a very strong screw driver trying to undo one of them.Picture attached Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob.webb Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Sorry, I've never taken a T3A apart. Did the other two screws come out, but that one is stuck? Maybe someone else on the board knows something I don't know.....I probably won't be to our shop until August... (It is VERY HOT where we work in July) I'll let you know when I try to get the parts you need out of one of our extra T3As if I find anything special about that particular part.It is possible that you just need to soak that particular piece in solvent because the screw is in there really tight or something got caught in the threads. The last resort would probably be to heat it up, but talk to a professional like Tom or Paul before you do that to make sure the heat won't damage the part.I remember Neal Kissel having to heat a brake drum up until the hub was red hot to get it off an old rusty series 14 axel once... 80+ years of grease burning is a smell you'll never forget!

147 Franklin Airman Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 RobThanks for your reply, I have contacted Paul and he gave me the answer I was looking for. A hammer and punch were needed.I look forward to hearing from you regarding my spare parts requirement of which the list may grow as I strip the gearbox further.

rob.webb Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 So.... My Dad and I are really busy and Martin needs these parts soon. We won't be back at our shop until 2 weeks after the Trek. Can anybody else get Martin some T3A parts sooner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
147 Franklin Airman Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Thanks RobI have had 3 replies to my advert on the Franklin website but it appears to be people wanting me to send money by Western Union and when I ask for photos or their address, all goes quiet. Scammers I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
