1928 Franklin spare tire rim: eBay Motors (item 390246728032 end time Oct-07-10 10:13:38 PDT) Do you have any tank at all? If so, I can help you to get it fixed I work in Port Jefferson, perhaps I can stop by one day and take a look. Do you belong to the Franklin Club?

There is a guy in NC parting out a '28. The picture shows that there is a tank in the car. How bad is the tank you have? If you have one, they can usually be saved. Where on LI are you? My father and I have four Franklins. We will have two of them at the AACA show in Riverhead tomorrow.

I know of a Fox sedan in Pennsylvania. It's a neat car.

I used to be one of those kids.

I can bring this to Hershey if somebody wants it.

Definitely 1934 Chevy. This is what it looked like before it was buried.

I sent you a PM.

Yes, those are the studs i need. Apparently they are no longer available new from any source. A local friend is trying to track down a set for me, but so for he's coming up short. I knew the nuts would be hard to find, but I thought the studs would be easy.

Gardner?

Got the nuts today. Thanks John! You're a true gentleman.

Yes! Those are them.

Nope

I think I have the headlights. I'll take a look and get back to you.

Does anyone have a Series 10 with a working speedometer? We have two cars, and a parts car, and all have the same failure in the 90 degree gear case thing where the cable goes into the speedo. The pot metal casting gets all mushy and the gears don't mesh. Anyone have a fix?

Harry, E-mail me your address, and I'll send you an owners manual. I have a few. Steve

Only if it's a Diesel. No more manual trans gas jobs according to the Dodge web site.

I have a feeling I'm gonna be sorry I asked, but do you always wear a Speedo when you work on old cars?

I finally got the drum off today. I took some heat from my oxy-acetylene torch, some new lug nuts, and lots of beating on the puller. I've removed many drums of this type, including this one, and never had this much trouble. I've succeeded in ruining all of the lug studs, even bending one, and they're 9/16" studs! No light-weights.

Anyone have any right hand lug nuts for a 1931-32 PA? I need about five.

Ok, whose got a steel building and what do you think? There are so many kits out there for very little money. Are they any good?

My dad rolled into the Sears Auto Center once with his 1910 Sears, and sternly said, "I expect you guys have parts for this thing." They didn't get his sense of humor.

I've removed many of these drums before, and I have the proper puller to do it. My problem is that this one is so stuck, that the puller is actually stripping the lug nuts right off their studs. I know that I will now have to replace the studs, that's not so bad, but I have to get the drum off and the lug studs are losing their threads. If I apply heat to the hub with my oxy-acetylene torch, will I weaken the hub or the axle? Or will I damage the bearing? BTW, the car is my 1932 Plymouth PA.

Franklin introduced a six in 1905. I believe it was the first production six.

This was a great event. Not only was there no fee for anyone, but they fed us breakfast and lunch for free too. I'm driving the Franklin towards the end. YouTube - Port Jefferson Hill Climb 2010
