[Model 20 Fuel Leak]

Thanks Both.

 

Phil, I will likely pull the tank off over the weekend and will post some pictures of the fuel valve/strainer.

Cheers,

[Model 20 Fuel Leak]

My 1910 has what I understand to be the original brass petcock (combination petcock/brass gauze fuel strainer/reserve fuel level indicator) piece fitted below the fuel tank. The petcock has three settings, one for off, reserve level and fully on. While I have managed to seal the various threads on this unit, despite my best efforts to seat the tapered petcock barrel, it continues to weep fuel. Any suggestions for a fix welcome. 

Cheers,

Peter

Hi all,

Looking for the following 1909-11 Model 20 parts:

• Front apron for 1909-1910 (sits below the radiator) - any condition welcome
• Brass radiator cap
• Steering wheel spider
• Bosch DU4 points 
• Cap for the engine oil filling/breather tubes
• Hubcaps - brass or alloy

Hoping someone may have these on their spare parts shelf in the garage.

Cheers,

Thanks George and David.

One for the Model 20 team.... in filling the diff with oil, which of the two bungs represents the correct fill height? My diff pumpkin has two square bungs at the rear, one being slightly higher than the other. I am guessing it is the lower one but want to be sure.

Thanks,

Peter

Thanks Karl and David,

Appreciate your guidance on these topics. With regards to the tool kit, my only reference is Bill Cuthbert's "The Hupmobile Story" (Page 23). Bill details that the Model 20 came with a screwdriver, pliers, monkey wrench, 2 x wrenches (5/16 and 7/16), oil can, valve grinding tool, tire pump, tire repair kit and tool kit bag. Who knows, there may be a machine out there with it's original tool set?

Thanks again,

Peter

[1910 Model 20 - A Couple Questions]

Hi,

Hoping the Model 20 team can help educate me re a couple of features of this machine. My questions:

 

1. Did early 1910 cars come equipped with a cover over the flywheel?

2. Did 1910 Hups carry a Selden Patent plate and if so, where were these displayed?

3. Does anyone have an original tool kit or parts of the tool kit they could share a picture of?

4. What type of gasket material are people using as a seal for the water inlet/outlet connections to the cylinder blocks?

5. What material is the steering wheel spider made of? Has anyone had any success welding this alloy?

 

Thanks in advance for any info that can be shared,

Peter

Thanks for providing the apron details Trimacar... greatly appreciated. Happy New Year!

Thanks all for the welcome. By way of response:

 

Trimacar - thanks for the offer of the copy of the Breeze carb manual. I have sent you an email. The dimensions/pictures of the front apron would be greatly appreciated. With regards to color schemes, my understanding is that the car should be red & black. Perhaps one day I will repaint the car in its original red livery. Just going to enjoy it as is for now.

 

Hupp36 - the alloy hub caps are all OK. The piece that is damaged is a brass grease cup or oiler fitted to the underside of the rear spring shackles (one left and one right). See picture attached of the remaining healthy specimen. Are these the original grease cups? 

 

Thanks again for the feedback and support... very much appreciated.

Yes original Breeze carburetor is in place. Engine number is 1866. My observations are that the car needs a front apron and original magneto switch for the dash. It is set up with a prest-o-lite tank at present but the right frame rail appears to have been drilled for a carbide generator. I also need to replace one of the grease cups on the rear end as this has been damaged. A few other jobs to do before spring!

Hi all,

I am an Aussie living in Pittsburgh USA. I just joined the forum. I recently purchased a 1910 Model 20 (Car No:1994). Not the usual red on black but rather this one is painted dark green. Pictures attached.

Cheers,

Peter
