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

One of those Murphy's Law tools. If you get one you probably won't need it again, which ain't really a bad thing.
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.

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"

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?

Was one easier to start? A one cylinder that fires every two rotations or a similar displacement two cylinder that will fire every revolution? I would think the outside temperature would be a factor also

Floyd Clymer grew up in the small town of Berthoud, CO. The local historical society is building a permenent display in the museum. We are looking for anything Clymer related. Pictures, articles, stories, whatever. Even donations of cars or motorcycles with Clymer history would be appreciated of course. Contact marksfrench2003@yahoo.com

I need help identifying and finding parts for this three brush generator that was added to a 1914 Saxon. There is no name plate or holes where one was mounted. 639 5387 is stamped in the body. The four pole shoes are mounted with two screws each. The third brush is adjusted with a screw driven rack and pinion set up. The end plates are held on with four screws each instead of through bolts. It has ball bearings front and rear. The housing is 7" long and the armature 8". The pulley was held on with a key and by a tapered shim pounded on between the shaft and pulley. There is a hole through the front shaft also.
Thanks, as always

"The Golden Flyer was the name of the 1916 Saxon driven by Alice Burke and Nell Richardson 10,700 miles around the USA in 1916 in the effort to secure the vote for women."
Timeline
1890 Wyoming enters the union with its suffrage laws intact, becoming the first state to allow women to vote. April 6, 1916 Nell Richardson and Alice Burke leave New York City in the Golden Flyer with the goal of crossing the country to promote women’s suffrage. April 26, 1916 Nell Richardson and Alice Burke receive a black kitten as a gift which travels with them the remainder of the way. May 1916 The suffragettes report on the possibility of “Mexican raids” in border town visits in Texas. June 1916 The Republican and Democratic National Conventions are held in Chicago and St. Louis respectively. July 14, 1916 Suffragettes arrive in Seattle, Washington, completing half of their coast-to-coast journey. September, 1916. Nell Richardson, Alice Burke, and the cat return with the Golden Flyer to New York, completing the tour. 1919 The Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which gives women the right to vote, is adopted by a joint resolution in Congress. August 26, 1920 After Tennessee becomes the thirty-sixth state to ratify the 19th Amendment, the Amendment is officially adopted and women are given the right to vote. And I complain about driving to town

I'm trying to find the number of Model 60 coupes that were sold. Were they all titled 1926? Any input or advice?

And a two speed transaxle. More proof of an early build

Early 1914 Saxon roadster for sale on AACA For Sale-Not Mine forum. Early car with wire wheels, upholstery flap or filler between windshield and body, chain drive starter, and what looks like the original Atwater Kent ignition. Wrong carb on the car but there are extras. Right or wrong? Not really cobbled up at all. I don't think an early car fuel tank would have a fuel gauge but that is splitting hairs

Saxon pictures and price when you get them, please
1919 Cadillac 57 Starter/Generator Starter Linkage Cross Shaft Removal

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
