Please define, explain and or expand on the term "tube axles". I have a '28 DB and it has a typical sort of modern rear end although with mechanical brakes. What years are you referencing? thanks paul

The 600 grade is in my mind, an urban myth. Yes, it did exist in the 1920's and 1930's. But got recalibrated after WWII. So: Old cars leak fluids buy the highest grade gear oil. probably 90w to 120w from auto store top off annually. others will surely disagree

Hi: Some one on this site inquired about thread for rear. It is 7/8 by 14. I looked up generic torque values in Peterson's Basic Automotive Tools, page 17. Depending on the type of steel; the values range from 206 to 600 ft. lbs. I have a '28 Std six. I think it is self defining. You put it back together and tighten the castle nut until it stops. Then try to go up to 1/8 more to line up the axle hole, the castle nut slot to insert the cotter pin. The taper on the axle makes this self defining

Hi: I am using the replacement electronic distriibutor on my Dodge Bros Std 6. I have been using stock 6 volt coils. They burn out quickly. Problem is I do not have a 1.5 ohm ballast resistor as recommended. Anyone have a part number and source (e.g NAPA). I have ordered the Flame-Thrower 40,000 volt coil with built in 1.5 ohm resistor but want to protect my backup 6volt coil till I receive the Flame Thrower Thanks Paul

What is your engine number? The master parts book lists the Stewart up to M-28792 for your car and then a different Stewart above that engine number. Where are you in Sweden? We visited Lund and Granna in May 2005. I have a Stewart Carb which would fit your's if under M-28793. Also I have an aftermarket bolt on carb. I had the Stewart carb reworked but not run on an actual engine. So, before I sent it to you I would want to run it on my '28 DB standard 6. I think the rebuilt Stewart would run your car even if your engine number is above that #. What carb are you now running? Paul

We have a '28 Dodge so no help there. We recently moved to the Dallas area. There are no Dodge Bro regions. But join AACA and look for a local chapter. They have a monthly newsletter and a membership directory. So, even if not your specific make, someone has a restorer they trusted. Best wishes Paul

There are a number of articles on tools on the Dodge Brothers Club News 3 volume CD covering the period Dec '83 through Nov 2000. Costs about $ 50 USD; but a great resource. Join the club and contact the technical advisors. I have a '28 Std 6. But, the tools remaining were the crank, wood wheel tire rim remover, hubcap wrench. Good Luck Paul

Clutch adjustment: Page 57 of the reproduction owner's manual says "The clutch is adjustable for wear by turning the cover on the flywheel." Want to hear from someone who has adjusted such a clutch. Take out floor mat and boards as needed Open transmission/lub plate on top of transmission With car in neutral loosen the ? clutch bolts Turn (how ?) the "cover on the flywheel" reassemble How to do it. Thanks Paul

You have a '29 Victory Six. The model numbers were 130 and 131. The VIN went from M-1 throguh M-87759. So your car is in the middle of the production. You did not mention but I would definitely work on: getting a title and current registration since it sounds as though plates were dropped join the DB club for $ 20/yr so you can sell to someone who will either restore or part out to people preserving these vehicles. Good luck Paul
