As usual my communication skills are lacking. What is sheared is just the rivot or pin where the shaft through the case is mated to the u shaped piece. I just need to clean everything up, grind off the head of the rivet, and drill or punch out the pin as needed. Then replace it all without dropping anything into the dreaded bell housing. Thanks for your input

You are correct. There wasn't much to prevent the removal of the housing. Just remove things until it comes out. I did have to remove the starter pinion gear for clearance without dropping the bolt and washer into the bell housing. Hopefully I also get it back together without dropping them

We always called it preventative tool buying.

1919 Cadillac Model 57 uses a combined starter generator set up. The starter button is linked to a cross shaft that disengages the generator switch and engages the starter gear to flywheel gears. The roll pin is sheared where the cross shaft and starter shaft through the housing meet. Any input on removing the housing with the cross shaft? Shop manual nor Dykes get into that detail.

Well, I pretty well screwed that posting up. It is not mine. A nice looking Chietain that is located on the Colorado west slope

I bought a 1914 Saxon roadster from the estate of a farmer in western Nebraska. He had died 15-20 years before and the car had just sat in the corner of a shed. He would drive it through the local parade now and again. It was in real barn find condition. The top was laid down, real ratty, and looked to be homemade. These bows were lying on top of the car so we loaded them up. I have been several years getting the car back on the road. I thought I could just get it running and putt around. I was wrong. It turned into a big project. Both sets of bows just hung in the barn until recently. They are way too wide for the little Saxon. The fellows at the weekly old car breakfast thought Ford was the only one that had the oval brackets so I decided to ask for help here. There was a 1926? Maxwell touring sitting next to the Saxon that was in decent shape but it had a top on it. He also had a T coupe that was lawn ornament material

Can anyone identify what these top bows are for? The width is 49" at the pivot. The height of the longest or tallest bow is 36" from the pivot to the top or outside of the wood frame. That is the bow lying on the floor. The center bow is 20" from the pivot to the top of the frame. The third bow, which is the tallest in the picture, is 33 1/2" from it's pivot to the top of the bow. The distance from the main pivot to that bow is 6". The middle pivot is 16" from the main pivot. The center bow has an unused pivot hole that is 8 1/2" above where it mounts to the main bow. Thanks for any help with so little information

Thanks for the input. I followed the rules when I applied, I had already been a member and liked those rules. I don't save emails and it didn't really bother me when I got blackballed. I had already got so much good info and knew I could reapply if I got the car. I don't suppose you keep records. I would be interested if I did fill something out wrong or came across as a jerk.

I will-if and when I get that Model 14b in my shop.

I was a member a couple of times when I was looking for a pre teens two cylinder car. Everyone (including the two of you) were very helpful answering questions and giving advise. I even bought an ignitor from a member before the car deal fell through. Then the deal kind of came back to life and I applied for membership again but was rejected for not being that in to brass Buicks. So I decided maybe I should be looking at Maxwells and REOs. I'm not ripping the group. It is great. I guess I should have not dropped membership. What's the old saying? "I don't want to belong to any club that would have me for a member"

No. It was all black. Surprise, right? Saxonmotorcars.com is the website. Alex has put a lot of time and effort into a very informative site

I finally have my 14 Model A done and nowhere to talk about it. So I'll bore people here with some pictures. I can bore people with stories too. I was buying a carbide generator from a lady I just met through a mutual friend yesterday. Part of the conversation sounded like a scene right out of "Dumb and Dumber". I mentioned "I have a Saxon". "We had a Saxon. What year?" she said. "1914" "Ours was 1914" "Mine has wire wheels and a two speed transaxle" "So did ours" And on it went. We were best friends after 5 minutes. I don't know when they sold it, but we both live in Longmont, CO. She said it went to Michigan or Minnesota and was beige and brown

Has Alex Huppe quit hosting the website or can I just not find the contact info?
