    37 President Air Cleaner Decal

    in Studebaker, Erskine & Rockne

    Posted

    Good morning All

    The car I obtained was assembled in Aust by a company called T J Richards and they supplied the air cleaner that appears to be type D.

    Richards put on the car whatever was on the shelf, they assembled nearly all the US vehicles GM, Chrysler, Buick, Studebaker. until GM bought them  

    so I have gone with what was supplied.

     

    Thanks for the assistance, I very sure i will be back .

    I have a 37 President that has a hole in each door that was for the 1/4  window , however I have no information as to the configuration of the window .

    The car when I obtained it had had them removed .

    I would appreciate assistance in obtaining a set or at least a picture of them 

    I have attached 2 pictures, the first being of the car when I obtained it and the second is of a door  showing the holes

     

    thanks

    37 President Rear Engine Mount

    in Studebaker, Erskine & Rockne

    Posted

    Unless the '37 changed from the '36, those parts are not from the rear engine mount. The '36 President used two long, maybe 5/8" diameter bolts that ran through passages at the rear of the bell housing and threaded into steel-core molded rubber mounts that were bolted to the front crossmember.

    There is a steel core bush that runs thru the rubber parts that is not shown, what I am trying to ascertain is where on the bolt goes the 3 washers. 2 of the washers have the centre hole diameter that permits it only to go on the bolt not where the steel core bush fits but what goes where.

    The washer with the large diameter hole either fits above or below the cross member, but I am not sure which ?

    Just purchased the contents of a closed Studebaker dealership

    I did just buy another 1200 small Studebaker parts so I will have alot to come over the winter as I identify it all. Water pump kits, Wheel cylinders, Fuel Pumps, Motor Mounts, lots of small chrome, lenses and gauges as well as lock sets, door handles, etc. I sell it all on Ebay. Cheap opening bids with no reserve so it sells. It could be the only chance you will have to get parts like these before they are no longer available. They were right off the Shelves of a dealership that opened in the 1930's and ran until the end. my seller ID is randyshotrods. Definately worth a look. I can't imagine I will get another chance to buy NOS studebaker parts like this again to replenish my supply.

    Would you have any 37 President 3C parts, in particular a water pump or kit. part number 184113

    I am also chasing a clutch housing shield part numbers 188674 & 189535.

    Regards Rod

    WTB 1937 President Part

    I am in California now visiting my daughter.

    We drove to Glendale from Joliet and continued after the meet to Pasadena.

    When I get back I will try to find that splined universal joint.

    Bob

    I do appreciate the assistance, I have been contacting all my sources here in Aust but at this time nothing.

    I know that the joint was used on other makes but the interchange manual I have does not give any joy. I have had to resort to taking the X section to the local vintage car club and hunted thru dozens of yokes to see if I could get a match , but to no avail.

    If you find the part that would be terrific.

    Please let me know

    Regards

    Hi rbk, sorry I have not got back to you sooner, I have taken a break from work and took my wife to Bali ( only 3 hrs flight from Perth) Thought it might be good idea before I pay for the spraypainting.

    The unijoint I have is the sliding spline with X shape bearing.

    Regards

    I have the G1 shaft that joins to the diff so I can get the spline, I have ordered a copy of the interchange manual and hope to get a possible replacemant that way,

    I case I can't get a part I shall obtain a u joint and match a yoke, then I should be able to machine a female spline off the long shaft. I know it is a bit of a perfomance but it is nothing like the performance I did in the parts shop.

    If I can get a interchange part number would you assist me with possible people who may have one.

    I do thank you for your help... Regards Rod

    I am seeking a universal slip joint with the yoke. It is the universal joint at the rear of the overdrive and takes the propeller shaft from the diff.

    The part number is G2 all bits as shown in the President 8 " Catalog of Chassis Parts"

    I need the primarily the bits numbered 2,3,4,5,6.

    I know you have all heard this before but I LEFT it with a parts shop so they could match the fitting of the universal exactly and they promptly lost it .

    (@#$%)

    This part, I understand is used on other Stude vehicles but I don't have the interchange manual.

    So much fun !!

    1937 Rear Wheel Hub Puller

    in Studebaker, Erskine & Rockne

    Posted

    Don. I don't know if this would be any help but , wheel pullers were not readily avialable when I needed to remove a hub from an 1928 Plymouth ( a car from the dark side ) so all I did was loosen the nut back about 3 turns and drove the car around the paddock and checked it about every 50 metres or so. Took some 15 minutes but the wheel came loose. This type of wheel was fitted with a keyway and a fine thread that held the axle into the housing.

    I am not a big fan of hammers and old iron.

    Another way maybe is to cut a small tin can into the shape that will fit as a cup into which you can pour some penetrene or simmular and leave for a couple of days siliconed onto the stub, then take if off and apply heat so that the lubricant when reapplied soaks into the stub further and so on, THEN apply the wheel puller if you have one,

    So much fun should be enjoyed with a couple of beers an a milk crate to sit on.
