That free wheeling is another whole ball of wax . There first design only lasted one year . There second attempt was better I guess . I do not have on my truck so cannot be much help . Talking off forum , and finding a repo BOI for you is going to help alot . I have to double clutch up and down and works smooth when warm with 140 . the BOI calls for 160 . But have not been able to find . So Stay- lube 140 Founded in 1933 , I believe seems right .

The oil pressure will drop as it warms . Do they match at idle and rev sitting . Should be 30 -35 at 35 mph on pedal .

Sherman , just screw whole unit right out , every easy . Make sure during adjustment your turning the inner plug for your adjustment not whole unit . the inner thread plug has the spring ahead of it and plunger ( that some find stuck ahead of that) . That inner pug is what pin keeps from moving . Outter piece is just tighten in . A gasket for acorn cap will be needed . I used 1/16" cork ,paper leaked . Make note of plug depth to get close on reassembly . of coarse yours is quite off .

Your welcome . It kinda says same as above . Worded different for us dumb truck machanic's .

Really is not much reason not to use brass . A little easier to machine , maybe safer to press in housings . Compatible as most banjo are brass and lines are copper . Only down fall is galvanic action because of aluminum pistons in . His problem is just a missed machine process or piss poor one . With today's tools and cost,a S/S reline is now same price range .

Pic of splice . Stripped off few inches of old to slide up some shrink on existing attached at button . Then solder new wire ,with green shrink over joint . .Twisted wire there is existing . Jacket harden and broke down insulating .

I agree wire and power go up the tube from clum switch and the cloth cover wires break down and ground out . Not a hard fix if you can slid your tube part way up to access screws to remove button and fish new wire in using existing . At top I used joint with muti-layers of heat shrink tubing .

Hook up horn independent of truck ,to test . Is your horn button up the steering column and then grounds out? Seems like 20 a . should be enough . Next would be jump horn direct to battery with a fuse inline . Just touching should work .

1929 Dodge Brothers DA Tourer "Doc's Dodge"
ArticiferTom replied to RichBad's topic in Dodge & Dodge Brothers
Just a suggestion , get rid of green top battery disconnect . I had one gave me fits after few years . They arc internally and lose conductivity . Others have also said same on hear . There is a little better grade one with black knob . But since your open , go first class with contact switch . Love the work your doing , and enjoying thread . -

You can cross the street .Did so year before, as parking at scooter rental maxed out . Was directed to regular parking and send down to east side front . However they did want to charge me for two spaces with my trailer .

How much gear oil for a 1928 GB-W rear axle?
ArticiferTom replied to Gary_Ash's topic in Studebaker, Erskine & Rockne
It may take a little more . My truck small UF takes 3 -1/4 pints . Fill to bottom of hole . I personally go 1/4" less . Remember your filling the bottom of taper on axle also . i also use 140 wt book states 160 wt . just looked up other DB/GB trucks that take up to 6 quarts .Also of 600w Mobiloil C or equivalent . Sorry not a very direct answer . just show could be anything . The common is bottom of hole for level to keep it out of wheel bearings . -
Simple Green or maybe Purple Power or even Dawn . Any should work if not over foaming . Certainly none of products should have ill effects on your cooling system , all are mild .

The evaporust will be of little good since you already oiled the rust . You will first need to remove oils so it can work .
