The lights on early electric equipped Whites are 6 volts while the starter/ generator and battery are 18 volts. They taped the battery at 6 volts for the lights. The early electric equipped Whites had the s/g on left side of engine on the hinged plate silent chain drive to magineto shaft and weighs 110 pounds. In 1915 they put s/g next to transmission with shaft running forward with a silent chain to flywheel. All 60 hp Whites are electrical lighted and started. They are the first 6 cylinder so equipped.

When I replaced the main ball bearings in my 45 HP White they had White stamped into the outer race.

So am I.

American cars did not have a floor mounted shifter then, was old-fashioned 1930' s throwback. Then advertising people made it fashionable so we all are driving old fashion cars.

It is a Thompson submachine gun as it uses pistol ammunition.

The things on the radiator contain a set of opposing coil springs to cradle the radiator from road shock. Only on trucks.

The main difference between the truck and car transmission is the cars were cast aluminum. You can tell is it is overdrive from a stamping on the front mount (that horn shaped part) it should have a 3D or 4D stamped in it. 3Dis a transmission with 3rd 1 to1 and 4th overdrive. If 4D 4th is 1to1 or direct. The gears will drop right into a car transmission. The TBC cast letters are the model of truck it was in. White used two shift patterns, R,1 & 2 are always the same. Reverse is in front of first, the gear goes thru first gear then into reverse and back into first, sort of a safety feature.

Sense he really wanted it I say $10.00 for a running old car.

I have run the White carb on my GEC for 46 years, operates great at all speed ranges starts at all temperaturers. There was one at Hershey awhile back, went to NJ. I get 12 to 14 miles to the gallon. The reason I said two barrel is there are two rotating drum variable venturies one low speed and one high speed which feed into one manifold just like a 4 barrel carb.

It appears Speedwell used a Contenial engine with no data plate on it. They used cast top water jacket plates with Speedwell. In raised letters to make it look like they made their own engines. Am looking for a block of you know of any.

The engine is a 45 hp GEC 4 1/4 X 6 3/8 362 ci. Three main bearings with ball bearings on ends and Babbitt in center. Used up into early 20s in trucks and cars until 1916. Very good engine, try to find the original two barrel carb.

You mentioned the 6 cylinder White production. For historical purposes the first 6 cylinder model F was produced in late April 1912. The White company never stamped a serial no. in the frame of their cars or trucks until 1918. They painted the s/n on the frame on the the left side near the rear end location. The s/n was stamped in the data plate affixed to the rear of the dash board (passenger side) and after 1910 was 5 digits long. This started with no. 1 and was sequential regardless of model produced. Do not use the term VIN in relation to any vehicle produced before 1981, it will only get you in trouble, insist on using "serial number" to avoid confusion. The 3 digit number on your new White is probably the sequence number of that model car and White would have a lot of cars with the same number but only one car manufactured with the same serial number.

Car has been repainted, look at radiator. Would rethink striping comment.

Looks like a Nash Advanced 6 1926/1928

Check your size again most wheel bolts are 7/16 they should be a snug fit and 4" sounds long as they only go through the spoke and brake drum. If using new bolts use only #5 or #8 strength. You can find carriage bolts that grade just turn off most of the square under the head unless the hole in the spoke has had a carriage type head in it before. Grind down the head to approximate shape and add epoxy for show shape. A lot of bolts going through wood use a sirration on the shank that presses into the wood. These bolts are hard to find as they were not normal replacement parts like rim bolts.

Maybe printed in French but built in Germany.

1909 to1915 Ford replacement after market.

Is a White 45 up note electric head and oil side lights.

Got to the party late, your White shows up as being made in June 1917 according to the White erection records, also White made 518 cars and 9742 trucks in 1917 by 1918 this changed to 18 cars and 12150 trucks so good-by to car production. You made a simple job complicated by removing the wheel from the axle on the car, you don't have to remove the hubcap just turn the bearing retaining bolts and pull wheel and axle out together. Goes right back in easy as an assembly, turn bolts tighten and done. The rear end and front end are the same as a 3/4 ton truck.

My Bentley has no keys is a real one made by WO. Guess no one stole them when new.

My Bentley has no keys, no trunk just an ignition sw. Back then no one would steal a Bentley.

Dual mags were used on some high performance cars and some racing engines, not just aircraft engines. My Bentley flies down the road but doesn't fly in the air, it is equipped with two mags that fire both plugs at the same time. Looks like this two cylinder engine uses two mags to overcome the V configuration problem.

Boiler not Doble, think Dobile had 4 cylinder motors or should that be engines?

Ran my 6volt Dodge truck for years with a 12 v battery used only for staring and a switch to change the ignition between 6+ 12. Ran on 6 v generator. Do not have any lights on while starting. Charged 12 v battery every so often. The starter and ignition will take ok if your vehicle starts right up.
