Guest RC45 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I had planned to do some vintagecar rallies this year with my Stutz, but with a technical check I saw that several theets of the crownwheel were badly damaged and probably also the pinion.Is there anyone who can help me with this parts, or adresses/tips who/how to solve this problem ? Any help is very much appreciated as I live in the Netherlands were Stutz parts are very, very rare......My Stutz is a 1921 series K 5 passengers open tourer.

Layden B Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Nicest fix would be a reproduction set with higher speed ratio but I doubt that any are still available. There may be used originals out there.Several ratios were offered originally:33-10 with straight cut teeth ( Bearcat and Roadster)42-12 spiral teeth45-12 spiral45-11 spiral (Sedan)Earlier cars had more options for ratios and many were straight cut.Just for your information, no other cars have an interchanging set of gears other than HCS cars ( another Harry C Stutz) product. HCS ratios are very slow speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stutzl6 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 RC 45 I have a set of 45-11 spiral from ak millers they are as good as new . I can measure them if the ratio is good for you. To be sure they are correct. Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Saxton Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Another possible source might be Ann Freehill in Ft Wayne Indiana. I believe Paul had these made, probably over several decades; but probably many of the faster ratio options. You must make absolutely certain that the gear selector interlock is perfect. If you inadvertantly engage 2nd gear while 1st is still in mesh, it will shear woodruff keys on the gearbox layshaft, and probably split the casing.

Guest RC45 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 John,The differential ratio in my Stutz is 1:3,5 (12:42). What do you have ? Is it as you already mentioned 11:45 ? This should mean a (fractionally ?) lower topspeed, when I'm correct. Please let me know what you have ?Henk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again,Henk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
