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

There is a 1915 series 8 for sale in New York. Still considered brass-era and a far superior car in performance to a 1914. Check the Franklin Club web site. H.H. Franklin Club: Home Page

Definitely a PA Plymouth.

Take a ride to the Franklin Trek. You will be able to ride in, and probably drive, any model Franklin made. H.H. Franklin Club: Home Page

They look like Checker wheels.

Still need this.

This is what it looks like.

The PA has considerably more power than the U, and it's tempting to cruise at 60, but remember the poured babbitt rod bearings. They will toss a rod if ran too hard.

You can go 60, but not for long. A comfortable cruising speed is 50 mph.

The Franklin does have interior door handles, the flap is for hand signaling. The Franklin parts book has illustrations of the side curtains, maybe the Hudson book does too?

Ok, got the pics to upload. The car is a 1925 Franklin series 10C.
