    yes they have been in for a year and a half now, they fit perfectly with no machining.

    Perfect, I have bearings on the way and was curious about changing out the seals to something else, I will order some of those and get em on the way. Do you still use the retainer clip on the back of the hub?

  2. Funny topic, the erskine at the Mack auction was my great grandfathers, he gave it to them in the 40s or 50s. My grandfather and I bought it back at the auction and I have started pulling it apart already and picking away at it. I have wanted this car since I was six but they would not sell it back to us, sure excited to have it back in the family

    The gear you need is Delco-Remy # 820639 (12 teeth, 29/32" x 7/16" x 1/2").

    I'll check if I have one in stock if you still need one. Peter

    Thanks Peter, that would be great, I do still need it. My email is surfclint2@hotmail.com

  4. Oh wow that’s pretty neat, my great great grandfather also came from Quebec with his family in a box car smuggling the children as they could not afford tickets for them. They came with an ox, some lumber and built a sod house, that homestead  is still in the family. My grandfather as a boy (on the right) in front of the old erskine

  5. Thanks all for the reply’s, the old steering wheel is also cracked and flaking in the middle causing it to grab the levers when it is rotated, I have acquired another steering wheel that is in mint shape so will just replace it. I’m going to pull the whole colum out and do it on the work bench as the tranny and engine are out of the car being rebuilt anyway making it easy. Pretty amazing old car to work on, the old girls lights all still worked after not being turned on for 70 years

  6. hi all, my grandfather and I have acquired back my great grandfathers 29 erskine after years of trying, we are in the process of getting it on the road again. My question is, if anyone on here knows how to remove the headlamp, spark advance and throttle levers so I can pull the steering wheel off and replace it as it is all cracked up.
