Loose fitting water pump bearing races
Kenendcindyc replied to David_Leech's topic in Dodge & Dodge Brothers
I’ve rebuilt a few and they were all a slip fit. There are shims between the casting and the four bolt cover to set endplay. I’ve converted mine to sealed ball bearings. -
29 Std 6 - timing and idle control levers at steering box
Kenendcindyc replied to Poppy510's topic in Dodge & Dodge Brothers
Sorry for the poor pictures and the dirt. I think they may have changed the design, mine has brass straps around drums attached to the levers. These straps allow you to set the tension on the levers so they stay where you set them. Yours appears to do the same thing using a spring and discs. Not sure but that is what it looks like. -
29 Std 6 - timing and idle control levers at steering box
Kenendcindyc replied to Poppy510's topic in Dodge & Dodge Brothers
I got a late 28 std six. I’m at work right now, but I’ll get you some pics tonight. It does look like your missing some stuff just going off my memory. -
Fan pulley falling off, need help asap please
Kenendcindyc replied to David_Leech's topic in Dodge & Dodge Brothers
If you can’t find the tapered roller bearings two 6203 sealed ball bearings drop right in with no modifications -
There called Mechanics U joints. They are filled with oil. You turn the joint till one plug is high and one is low. Fill with gear oil threw the lower plug till it comes out the top one. Pump it in with a pistol grip oil can.

In my experience with my 28 dodge ,if the Great people at Myers early dodge parts doesn’t have what you need ,and the Great people of this forum don’t have any to spare. Check EBay and swap meets otherwise start figuring out how to make what you need. Not much else to choose from.

I have a 28 std six, I can supply pictures of areas of concern if you need them.

1929 Dodge Brothers DA Tourer "Doc's Dodge"
Kenendcindyc replied to RichBad's topic in Dodge & Dodge Brothers
That is one beautiful car. Great job. -
In drive ,at a stop everything inside the trans also comes to a stop except the pump (spins whenever the engine is on in drive or neutral) the torque converter is spinning ( turbine inside converter connected to input shaft is stoped.) only thing between the two is fluid = no wear. When shifted to neutral a clutch releases allowing the input shaft to rotate ,reengaging drive causes a clutch to reengage to stop the turbine. This causes some ( very little) wear to the clutch. I’d say most wear will happen to the linkage due to excessive shifting.

I work on modern cars and rebuild automatic transmissions for a living. I’d say your probably putting more wear on your trans shifting it into neutral at stops than just leaving it in drive. As far as overheating when at idle a modern car should be able to idle all day without overheating. I’d also say idling causes no harm unless done excessively as in for hours at a time over many years. We service some police cars that they run for three shifts a day, running and idling for 24 hours a day 7 days a week and we only see some engine wear after YEARS of this type of service.

No doubt ,without all the pictures and posting they should easily be done by Friday.

Ya, too quiet. There definitely up to something 😬.

Restoration of Victory Six sports roadster.
Kenendcindyc replied to Mattml430's topic in Dodge & Dodge Brothers
Looking good, Matt hay just a unrelated question, are you able to engage that overdrive in second gear to split that gear and achieve second gear overdrive? Or is there a minimum engagement speed. Thanks -

Kenendcindyc replied to edinmass's topic in General Discussion
Agreed, truly amazing -
Yup you just guess and try them. If one is low and one is high just turn the bulb that is wrong 180 degrees and reinstall to correct.

Yup it can happen, I had a small 12 HP engine I was using daily and it ran great. One day the wife took a gas can to get some gas and she took the wrong one. The one she took had a little very old gas in it that turned to a solid varnish at the bottom. The new gas kinda dissolved it and it mixed with the new gas. When running I could smell the old varnish, I didn’t think much of it but after turning it off and letting it cool it was seized up solid. I was able to get it turning with some solvent in the cylinder and a big ratchet. Once free it ran fine but seized again after cooling. Flushed out fuel system and ran it a few hours and all was fine after that.

Opinion on brushed vs polished aluminum
Kenendcindyc replied to Kenendcindyc's topic in Dodge & Dodge Brothers
I agree, I’m leaning in that direction since most think it’s better than brushed. -
Opinion on brushed vs polished aluminum
Kenendcindyc replied to Kenendcindyc's topic in Dodge & Dodge Brothers
Ahhhhhh I don’t really think I want to paint it. But check back in a few years after I try polishing it. 😀 haha my opinion might change. -
Hay guys ,when I made my high compression aluminum cylinder head for my std six three years ago I left it in a brushed aluminum finish. It has proven to be tough to keep looking good ,as even wiping it with a rag in the wrong direction causes marks. Now I’m not really that picky ( I’ve never seen a dirt road I won’t drive) but ,I’m going to do some engine detailing this winter and thinking of polishing the head. do you guys think that will be easier to keep clean or worse hmmmmm

Mine was in about the same shape and it also had a frozen main shaft. I think as the pot metal expands it starts to squeeze the shaft. I freed mine up by carefully warming up the pot metal using a heat gun, slowly it started to move. I fed some light oil mixed with timesaver lapping compound into the oil wick hole while slowly spinning it with a adapter I made and a drill. After a few hours of this she was good as new. A good cleaning and lube and she has been working good for years now.

Victory six Broken axle. (Doddy)
Kenendcindyc replied to Mattml430's topic in Dodge & Dodge Brothers
Ya that’s why they usually break “gently “ the amount of torque required to snap a axle that size due to sheer torque is huge. Like a drag car snapping a axle at the starting line it’s violent. When they just snap gently for no reason you can be sure the crack is slowly propagating threw the shaft for quite some time before the shaft just can’t handle normal torque and snaps. -
Victory six Broken axle. (Doddy)
Kenendcindyc replied to Mattml430's topic in Dodge & Dodge Brothers
Probably a good idea to pull the axles during the off season. (They come out real easy) and inspect them with dye penetrant crack detector if you want to catch it early on in the process of failing. Pay close attention to the keyway area also.
