pop rivets, earlier than any one thought Ha Ha

Essex for 1928 has a character bead on upper hood panel. the hood hold down brackets have a rubber bumper just below hook point, which this appears to have. How ever Essex has 21 louvers in 1928................... The upper hood brace under hinge is not Essex, likely a later add on.

with 5 commodes, just have to label the doors by topic.

When removing handle, I use my thumb to press the lock latch inward and the handle square shaft with the of set square near the end, comes out. The locking mechanism is part of the lock cylinder, with in the handle shaft. My 1930 Essex is the same as your Hudson.

white metal top with 8 bolts on top ? or painted metal top with 4 bolts on top? //////////////// 8 bolt top may have long springs connecting float and mounting. 4 bolt top may have a float with a candy cane arm on top that connects to loops under top. The loops control operation - clean them with cleaning spray another style 4 bolt top may have a float with a slot, in which right angle wires under cover slide in to control the operation, clean them too. 4 bolt tops, have a inner tank tube with a flapper valve at the bottom, make sure moveable flapper can seat properly. Watch floats for leaks. Hope this may help

Can you read numbers on distributor tag? Any other numbers on starter or generator?

JUST WONDERFUL

Thank you to all who participated in Hosting Hershey !!!! 60 years in a row, and plan to keep attending..............

I do not know where this article was used. Optional water pumps for Essex engines had a water pump driven from the flat side of the fan belt. This appears to be a similar drive.

1929 Essex on had the two part oil pan assemblies. Separate troughs and oil pan. 1928 and earlier Essex's had oil troughs soldered to the oil pan. Starting with the 1930 Hudson engines, they were two cylinders longer than the Essex. Apparently, all moving parts were same as Essex, by model year, thru 1932. ( minus crankshaft, and other unique 8 cyl parts ) The last year for Essex - 1932.

2023 will be 60 continuous years, even Covid did not stop me from being there. The Hershey environment is therapeutic. .

1928 Essex a 1929 is same shape but has pine needles and cones engraved on face

1963, and every year since. Met a Hershey friend from NY during covid, to make it continuous. so many memories, and reading others comments brings it back to life again !!! Thanks for your comments!!

WE REMEMBER

Dennis, just checked my long term storage, a little hard to get back to them, sorry, apparently the two sizes I have are 18 and 19 inch tires.

Dennis where are you located?

Thank you. Looking forward to experimenting on this.

I know this is old BUT I find I now find I have a 4 trumpet Sparton with number 185. I wonder what tune it could play Motor runs, there is air pressure, v4 valves are actuated. but so far no real tones. Tried revolving "heads", nothing. Looked inside Head and can see copper colored disc Cant tell if good. Do not see a way to open the head holding the diaphragm. Any comments? ///////////////////// from previous posts, I wonder where 35 mm film diaphragm goes and how to put it in place. thanks for any info. Hans

This could be helpful, I have been explaining to two persons the operation of the 8 bolt top and 4 bolt top vacuum tanks. A clever see thru idea

Sounds like a good advertising method to advertise the Springfield meet, and a venders spark plugs

your oil pan seems to have a much later type of oil pickup assembly installed. Your oil pump has one inlet (pick up tube ) and two outlet tubes. The inlet tube to oil pump passes thru motor block curves thru upper oil pan and heads down to near bottom of pam. Bottom end of tube has 45 degree cuts on two sides to keep it from touching bottom and closing the opening. You have the remains of the pick up tube pinched off to keep oil level in upper pan retained. I think your engine has quite an interesting modification.

Grills look very similar to 1936 and 1937 Hudson and Terraplane.

Older Herse's were more somber.
