17White

edinmass here is a family picture of my grandfather the second from left supposedly at a farm meeting.

I'll have to dig some out.

I think that a good cleaning may make this problem go away. As you can see from the pictures the whole truck needs a good cleaning. Hopefully that will take place before planting season.

I must be missing something here unless looking at the picture you just push the shifter all the way forward without a notch to put the shifter in 3rd gear. The picture I posted only shows 4 notches. When we tried to shift up from the first notch (I assume 1st gear) it wouldn't go into the next gear and would just grind so we didn't force it.

Ok. Reverse is all the way back, then next notch neutral, next 1st gear, next notch 2nd gear, where is 3rd gear notch or is it only 2 forward gears?

What is a progressive transmission?

Here are some more pictures. Got a video of it running and driving but can't load it.

Got some more information. The center of axle to center of axle is 160 inches. Rear of cab to end of frame is104 inches. Across the rear frame is 34 inches. Cab to rear axle is 79 inches. There are 13 leaves in the rear springs including the small/short one. On top of the transmission where it attaches to a frame it has 152051BC. I am not sure about either of the 1's but that's what it looks like. Under that it has 3D. The floorboard looks as if it has been replaced because that wood doesn't look near as aged as the edges. There is no shift diagram. I have attached some pics of this. I only see 3 notches on the shift selector and I don't see any numbers on what I think is the left front horn, if this is the horn. Is the small lever on the frame in the picture a compression release? As ya'll can see I don't know much at all about this truck but am learning quite abit from ya'll. I really appreciate it too.

I don't have the length or the serial number. Do you know where the serial number is. The plate on the "firewall" is missing. This truck was bought new by my grandfather and was cosmetically reworked in about 1966. Since then it sat in a barn on the farm until about 5 days ago. We got it out and got it running (just barely) and have now started working on it. I will get the length and serial number as soon as I can find it. It has a license tag so we should have the serial number on it.

These are some pictures of the truck, engine and carburetor.

I am working on a 1917 White truck and need information on the carburetor and the mag. The carb is a White motor company Zenith systems U5 3498. Is there a rebuilder or parts and parts diagram for this carb? I need the same info on a Eisemann G4 #768357 mag. Any help is much appreciated.
