My dad had a Ford tractor with an industrial 6 cylinder engine in it. It always had starting problems with a group 1 battery. After he passed, I restored the tractor and was determined to improve the starting. I found that the group 2 batteries had little improvement in starting ability over the group 1. The group 4 battery was quite a bit longer, but had a world of difference in starting ability, both in terms of cranking speed, and the amount of time it could crank the engine.

Front wheel bearings are back in production and in stock at the parts vendors. The outer bearings are a little pricey, but good quality.

I have some. PM sent. Ron Dupree

I think that my problem is that more space is provided for the price than for the photos. I would like to see larger photos and smaller font for the price.

Just tried and it is working today! Thanks.

The Gale was one of several cars that the dealer has purchased strictly for resale. Another car they have is a Sears that I was interested in. I believe it sold at the auction for about $22k and is listed on the dealers web site for $34k. I doubt that Don's estate made any money on the car. I didn't see it when he first got the Gale, but I know that he virtually remanufactured the car and did not drive it a lot after he was done.

We did a full lap of the trace in a group of Model T's. Great trip and lots of beautiful scenery and potential neat places to stop along the way. My only caution is if you plan to stay overnight along the way. We stopped in Jackson, Ms. and I would recommend other towns based on the level of crime there.

That is the car that Don Krull had restored that I referred to above.

Yes, 14 inches for the Granada is correct.

I have one that came out of a 1978 Ford Granada. Not sure if it is the same. Located in Central Illinois

I was able to find undercutter blades online. A supplier is Martindale https://martindaleco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/martindale-catalog-undercutters.pdf A retail source for blades is EIS https://www.eis-inc.com/product/undercutting-saw-ph18-martindale-hss-u-slot?option=SAW3/8X1/8X.032

I have a TruCut mica undercutter that I want to use to refurbish some generator commutators. The blades for this should have a 1/8 inch id and a 3/8 or 1/2 od. I am having trouble finding a source for the blades. Any recommendations? I am in most need of a 0.032 wide blade, but would buy others to be prepared for other sizes of micas.

I can search the digitized literature and have found some items I am interested in. How do I go about downloading or viewing that information. I have tried to log in using my AACA information to no avail. What am I doing wrong?

Looking at the CO-LIN website it looks like they have moved to the address previously used by Rock Valley

Don Krull from Galesburg restored a Gale several years ago. The restoration was beautiful Don passed in the fall of 2021 and his sons did not have any interest in his auto collection. The cars were consigned to the Sullivan Auctioneers Collector Car Auction in Hamilton, Il. that was held on Feb 7, 2022. I was interested in the Gale and went to the auction site to look it over. The workmanship on the restoration was excellent, and the car had some supporting literature with it. The only flaw that I really noticed was that the original Gale body was supposed to be able to be tipped up for easier motor service. I could not see how the body on the current restoration could be tipped for service. I put in an early bid on the car, but bidding got crazy before the final sale. The car sold for slightly less than $50k. It is currently in the hands of an antique car dealer in Davenport, Iowa. Ron Dupree
