Is this still available? Dick Arnett WB4SUV@gmail.com 859-991-4368

This is one that I made

Attached are pictures of my generator and starter for my 29A if that helps.

Generator on my 29 Hupp has chain drive

This muffler shop has been in business for over 50 years

Took my 29 Hupp to a muffler shop yesterday to have a complete exhaust system installed. They turned the end of the pipe down in front of the rear axle housing because they said they can not run a pipe under the gas tank. The gas tank is only about 1 1/2 inch from the spring on both sides. Is this a legal government regulation?

How do you flash a positive ground generator with only one wire out of the generator?

My first attempt to tow my car was a complete failure making a gradual left turn out of the garage and towing it less than 50 feet. The 2"x1/4" pieces of flat steel that I used to attach to the frame and then offset through the bumper bent as shown in the picture. I then removed the bumper and the 2nd towbar is much stronger using 1/4"x2" square tube. It did not bend or budge but the tires drag when turning. The back and forth between garages is something that needs to happen several times so having it towed is not an option besides I have AAA but want to save that should I need it when it is running and further than a block away from home, hopefully soon. I am sure that having someone steer the car would work but for that to work I will have to wait for one of the grandkids to visit which will drastically slow the progress. I have towed pre-war cars many times and never had this problem. Have not tried disconnecting the steering linkage and might try that but I am not optimistic that it will work

The steering assembly works fine. Not frozen

i have wire wheels and can disconnect the linkage if it is better to do so.

I need to move my 29 Hupp less than a mile from its present location so I made a tow bar to fit it. With the front off the ground I can not force the tires to turn by pushing and pulling on the tires which would be trying to force a worm gear in the stering box backwards. I might be overthinking things but do I need to disconnect the steering linkace to alow the car to follow the tow car around curves?

Hopefully you can find a cross reference

I have a 29 Hupp with a honeycomb type radiator with a leak that appears to be in the middle of the of the honeycomb. Is this something an established radiator repair shop can possibly repair?

Would it be a possibility to leave the rest of the vehicle 6V and install a separate 12V alternator. Obviously a compressor would be needed also so it might get a bit crowded around the front of the engine.

I love it when someone post information like this

I think I see a thought process that is similar to this Dear President Jackson: The canal system of this country is being threatened by the spread of a new form of transportation known as ‘railroads.’ The federal government must preserve the canals for the following reasons: One. If canal boats are supplanted by ‘railroads,’ serious unemployment will result. Captains, cooks, drivers, hostlers, repairmen and lock tenders will be left without means of livelihood, not to mention the numerous farmers now employed in growing hay for the horses. Two. Boat builders would suffer and towline, whip and harness makers would be left destitute. Three. Canal boats are absolutely essential to the defense of the United States. In the event of the expected trouble with England, the Erie Canal would be the only means by which we could ever move the supplies so vital to waging modern war. As you may well know, Mr. President, ‘railroad’ carriages are pulled at the enormous speed of fifteen miles per hour by ‘engines’ which, in addition to endangering life and limb of passengers, roar and snort their way through the countryside, setting fire to crops, scaring the livestock and frightening women and children. The Almighty certainly never intended that people should travel at such breakneck speed. Martin Van Buren Governor of New York

Try Odorxit I think Ace Hardware sells it. I'm told it really works good.

Glad to see you were able to fix it. See you in Pittsburg.

Finally getting to installing the headlights and realized a special connector is needed. Any help with a source or other information would be appreciated

As a kid in the sixties I worked on my own car as a necessity and have mostly continued all my life. When restoring my first and only almost 100 year old car 60 years later I have had numerous how to questions. I joined a local car club hoping to network with others with how to knowledge. What I found is that almost all take their cars to someone else to be worked on. This forum has been a wealth of information and I am grateful to the many that have responded to my many questions.
