The Ford right pedal is a clutch pedal and is marked C half way down disengages the clutch all way down engages low gear band all the way up engages the high gear clutch if the lever is forward.

My 66 Triumph TR4A had the hole in grill but no hole in radiator and no crank in tool kit. Think Ford was last car to have attached crank in 27.

Notice the common mistake "restorers" make, the gas tank is upside down ( gas tank for headlights). The valve should be on top side. Some people mount a center valve tank, another no no.

Take a look at the GF White on the Old motor site.

Look at March 1 entry blueprint of engine # 60 spring on front of cam returns cam to normal run position, may take A turn of crank to get it to work. You should feel resistance when lever turned to front of truck, if so cam is moving. If no resistance cam is forward but should go back when engine turned over.

If you bought a Ford from 1919 to 1927 and did not go for the optional starter and generator you got magineto headlites and the old style nondemountable rims and wheels.

The first Chevrolet in 1912 was a T head and the first 6 cly was an L head.

Buick and Chevrolet started out in the early days of the car with overhead valve engines, never made anything else, and had been advertising for years that it was an engineering advantage. They didn't breathe better or have higher compression, even though both were technically possible. The fuel octane and the RPM limits imposed by the engine lower ends of the time made that irrelevant. Overhead valves also made more noise when "smooth and quiet" and "you can hardly hear it running" were huge selling points. By the mid 30s it was pretty clear that there was no performance benefit to overhead valves in an ordinary car. At that time almost all new engine designs were flatheads. Buick and Chevrolet had the last laugh though when high octane gas came along and the horsepower race took off. Almost overnight the tables turned when overhead valves proved to be the way forward.
Buick made flat head engines, this is a normal error. See model 5.

Looks like they left the pan and torque tube in to hold it together.

The story I heard was one of Bill's children passed and he had the hearse built special for the child. That's why he kept it. Remember seeing it the 60s. What happened to it?

The trailer is a Ford 1927 or earlier.

1927 Nash Advanced Six. Owned one in the 60s.

Rims and wheel hardware were cadmium plated when new. Good luck in getting that done today.

The early 18 V starter/ generator hung on a hinged plate on the left side of engine ran through a silent chain to a sprocket at the front of the mag and thru the timing gears. Not a good method, later they ran the starter/ generator to a sprocket on the flywheel with the starter/ generator under the car.

For you non White folks the single plate clutch utilized a steel driven disc with the friction material on the driving part ie the clutch housing and pressure plate. Just the opposite of a modern clutch we are used to seeing, yes Whites are different. I use automatic transmission fluid in my car. Has been ok for 35 years so think is good to use. The book says the friction disc is saw steel and the friction material is .125" thick.

I agree completely with all of this, but I have to add that although the transmission cases are the same, aluminum and cast iron, the Model 15 3/4 ton trucks have 3rd gear direct, and 4th gear overdrive, the same as the cars. The 1 1/2 ton model 20 truck transmission looks the same but 4th gear is direct and no overdrive.
The cases are the same dimensions the 3 direct gears will drop into a 4 direct case nice cost effective was to obtain overdrive in a 4 direct car or truck. There are more 3 direct transmissions around than 4 direct. Can tell appart because they are stamped on front mount, 3 D or 4 D.

All Whites before the 16 valve 4 and most trucks after used the same 4 speed transmission the 30, 40, 45, and 60 hp cars and trucks. The difference was the cars utilize an aluminum case and the trucks had a cast iron case. Bout cars and trucks used the same clutch. This is why the cars are so good, hard to break them.

To a restate an entry I made in the technical forum under 1917 White. White NEVER, NEVER made a car or truck with a progressive shift pattern. Unless you say the shifting into reverse is progressive because you get into reverse by shifting into 1st then continue to reverse and have to come beck through 1st to return to neutral. When in neutral you can select any of the 4 forward speeds without going thru any other gear, so it is a selective transmission. On a progressive transmission you have 1 neutral and usually go back for 1st then forward thrugh neutral into 2nd then forward into 3rd. To down shift you return into 2nd then back to neutral just like a foot shifted motorcycle.
