You aren't looking at the right place . Lay on the ground behind the rear end and look where the right (passenger side) axle tube enters the center housing. There is a narrow boss on the casting facing you and stamped in the aluminum will be the ratio -example 12 /52 You are looking at the top to see the oberdorfer Syracuse NY business... I wouldn't be interested -too far away. Other wise I would buy it , take it apart and see for parts .

I thought the 4 because it was actually manufactured in the fall of 64. The inner fender is clearly stamped with a 4 yet the VIN # has the 5 in it.

Where are you located? Its worth more than scrap. Check out the gear ratio stamped in the case and tell us what it is. Measure the wheel base .It looks like 132 inch from the pics It could be 125 inches.

Just checking to see if anyone was paying attention! Back in the old days of CB radios, a trucker would indicate his trailer was empty by saying he was hauling "a full load of Volkswagen radiators"!
David is one of the "sharper knives in the drawer"... I knew he was playing the crowd! and I was happy to point it out. Just for everyones information that doesn't already know it, A Franklin has a" HOOD FRONT" The proper name for the grill shell assembly and so called out in the parts drawings.

David If he finds a Franklin Radiator it will be a rare one. !!! He should check the ring and pinion ratio stamped on the right side of the case where the right axle tube enters the center section and see what it is. I don't see any value in the wheels or chassis. (Rust and wood rot) The springs are 1931 153 series .

Thanks Dave! Ill take a look.

This is a Solar Generator I am going to use on my 1910 Mitchell. The water filler cap is missing . I measured the dia. of the hole on top of the threads and it measures 0.82 inch. Also does anyone have any info on this model 811 as to the year? application? It has a frame mount and a runningboard flange . Most likely will use frame mounted. Thank you, Mike West 585 738 1541

Here is a dandy set of early headlight forks. The spread on the forks at the top is 9.5 inches. These forks can be "Adjusted for width" with some heat . Ive done it many times. Price is $100.00 plus shipping (Id guess about $15.00 or 20.00 in the Cont. USA) Mike West 585 738 1541 mawest729@gmail.com

They called the series 12 a mile a minute car. If you know what you're doing, the car can handle it. To all the haters, It's true!!
Michael, I don't hate series 12 cars . They are nice rides. The question was what is the BEST car for touring in TRAFFIC.. Traffic to me is 55 mph speed limit. Id be careful running your series 12 at "A mile a minute" longer that a few 1000 feet or you might be looking for a new crankcase. Don't believe all the ads you have read about the speeds ... its a crock ... (Just my opinion) Mike
