Can someone identify this auto?

Hello Rainer,I think too heavy an oil in the transmission might be troublesome with the clutch.I believe they always called for same as engine oil.

Hello Rainer,Not sure you have a question here.It does look like an original intake manifold.A plug would be installed at the bottom if you need to use the hot air intake.

Sounds like good news.
Not sure my comment was expertise,just a fellow Hupp owner trying to help.

I think your Breeze is later than the text in the Breeze pdf.
With one nut above the ball on the needle valve there does not seem to be any adjustment there.I think you would adjust by using different thickness of gasket washer between the body of the carb and the gas inlet piece.

Your carburetor problem sounds like an issue with the float,set incorrectly or perhaps not floating .

Hello Rainer,I think your Hupp is very close to the original Hupp color.

Not original,likely to catch drips,or maybe get cleaner air if driven on a dusty road.

Hello Rainer,This should be a fairly easy adjustment.Remove the pin just outside the gear box,loosen the lock nut on the shifting fork inside the gearbox.Turn the shifting shaft until the gear rests properly in the final drive.Place the shift lever in neutral and see if the linkage now lines up for the pin,may need a bit of final adjustment.Check low gear engagement also.Remember to tighten the lock nut.I may have forgotten a bit,it’s been a while.
If you search this forum you may find info on the Breeze.

If you can get the spring to align correctly you might not need the three screws.Early production did not have them(like mine).With a little tinkering I was able to get the spring lined up ok.

I agree with Andrew on the 3 screws.Looks like you are doing a great job.Keep us posted.

I’ll dig around tomorrow,see what I can find.

I’m not an expert on such things,but was once told it is very important to radius the end of the cut into a blind bore. The fillet increase strength and relieves stress.Perhaps you have already done this.

Nice find,looks very original.

I was thinking along the same lines as David.The only hitch I can think of now is the threads at bottom.
Another approach depending on condition of your existing might be to have them reground,then bushings made to that I.D.

Unique!
Looks like you still need to get left fender back on still.
Cheers,

Repairing the block sounds doable.You might look for someone who knows Muggy weld,it’s a brand of rod for cast iron and does away with all the heating,cooling issues.Those bottoms to the block are quite thin,maybe some gussets could be added to strengthen them.
Well good luck.

p.s. I think I used a very thin paper gasket and Hylomar anaerobic sealant.

Tom can you pm your address?I have a copy I can send.

It might be best to start with measuring the crank and the bores to see if they have been machined before.I think there are places that can bring back to original size,but that may not be needed.
If the cylinders need boring I’ve been told it’s important to radius the top to relieve stress.
Good luck with the work.

I might be able to dig something up for you.

Congratulations Eric,you will have fun with the car.
I look at BaT most every day,fun,and there is a lot to learn from some of the comments.Nice to see brass era cars getting some traction there.

Look closely at the drawing of p/n 247.
I think you need to make a new bushing,I think it should be the total length of the gears.Yours looks sheared off.Looked at one again,there seems to be two pieces(?) to the bushing,or one piece with an oil groove.You will find out when you press it out.

Let’s see if I can do this....

That pin holds the two gears together,bronze hub in between.
Parts number 247,248,249,250.Eight pins (248).

ID this touring ?
in What is it?

The owner was C.W. Arnold so I think it was indeed a personal badge made for the him.The C is quite clear so it seems to make sense.
Also of interest the license plate number appears on the side lamps.Any ideas on why? Makes me think of the modern use of putting the vin number on most car parts.
One other thing that I noticed is the gentleman to the right,the hat,the gloves,the look on his face. I’m not sure the chauffeur was too happy about giving up “his” seat for the photo.
Thank you all.
