    1931 Model K Fuel Tank Question

    in 1931-1939 Lincoln Model "K" Only

    Posted

    Thank  you for the reply.  So the two reserve tanks on actually like open pans in the bottom of the main tank.  These reserve pans both get filled with gas as the main tank is filled.  Depending on the valve position, one of the reserve pans is actually part of the main tank while the other one still holds gas when both the main tank and the other pan are emptied.  Do I have that right?????

    Passenger Side Axle for 1928 Model 8-70 needed

    in Locomobile

    Posted

    Hi Al,

    I have not looked into that yet.  I am not sure how far the owner wants to go.  The Locomobile is in a collection with 44 other cars so keeping the car road worthy may not be a priority.  (which is shame!!)

    The other axle is OK but I would recommend he also replace it since the only difference would be the direction of the threads.

    I had that machine work done on that front spindles of my 1925 STuTZ to restore the bearing fits.  It worked great.

    Thanks,

    Dan

    1910 Flanders Engine Oil System Question

    in Studebaker, Erskine & Rockne

    Posted

    Hi 15sd and cudaman

    15sd: Thank you for the tire info.

    There are two model 20's in this area 20 miles apart.  I always new about one of them in a collection listed as a 1912 Roadster.  I am not sure about it's running condition but it looks nice.  I took the photo of the oil tanks on that car for this thread.  The wheels on that car are 24" wooden wheels with Firestone 30-3 tires.  I have not seen the other car yet so I do not know the actual size of the wheels and tires that are on it.  I did find info that indicates that these car originally used 32" x 3" tires on 26" wheels in 1910 as you indicated.

    If the car in the collection is a 1912 then that would explain the 30 - 3 tires it has.

    Are there ways to distinguish the difference between a 1910 and 1912 from looking at the engine or other clues?  I have easy access to the one in the collection.  I have not seen the other one.  I will see it on Thursday.  Attached are two photos of that one.

     

    There is so much to learn!!!!!

    1910 Flanders Engine Oil System Question

    Hi cudaman,

    Wow what a great reply!!!  Thank you.  I will PM you so you can send me the documents.

    I am going to look at the Flanders on Thursday.  According to the owner, the car was restored in 1950 and driven about 500 miles then put away.  He bought it 10 years ago but has not started it.  He did have the magneto rebuilt but has not put it on.

    1910 Flanders Engine Oil System Question

    in Studebaker, Erskine & Rockne

    Posted

    Hello all,

    There is a car collection near me that has a Flanders Racy Roadster.  The owner of the collection has passed away and the folks tending to the collection have no technical knowledge of the car.  It turns out there is also a 1910 Flanders Racy Roadster for sale in this area.  I have always liked the Flanders in the collection and have some interest in the one that is for sale.  I have no experience with these wonderful brass era cars.  I have more experience with 1925 to 1947 cars.

    My question has to do with the way the engine is lubricated.   Information that I was able to find indicate that there is a 1 gallon oil tank at the side of the engine.  From my understanding of the description of operation,  the oil is pulled from the tank and through the engine by intake manifold vacuum.  What it does not say but I assume is the oil is then consumed and burned in the engine.  The information I found does say that a tank of gas will last so many miles and the oil tank is also refilled based on miles.  Am i understanding this system correctly?

    A photo of the oil tank is attached.

    Where can I find technical info and folks with knowledge of these cars?

     

    Thanks in advance.

    Hub Pullers for 1920-21 Stutz

    Hi Peter,

    I think any good machine shop could make you a puller.

    One side of the bone has right hand threads and the other Left hand.

    I have one here and could make you a sketch/drawing.

    PS Hope you can join us in Dublin, Oho in June for the Grand STuTZ.

    1947 Commander Transmission Question

    in Studebaker, Erskine & Rockne

    Posted

    Hi Kurtruk,

    Thanks for the parts info.  Actually the Fiat parts are super easy for me to get because there is vintage Fiat only parts and service vendor here in town with every parts and a talented mechanic to provide free technical info.  I can stop in and pick up parts and advise as needed.  Fortunately, the Fiat has 22K original miles and only needed only fluid, brake, and rubber parts replaced to get it back on the road after 10 years in storage.

    Thanks for the good catch on the overdrive knob.  How well would this car keep up with traffic with the overdrive?
