What??? Honey turn it up louder! I can't hear it!
Translation - It might be old people that do the sound............

If your lucky there will be a tag on your generator.
Early 1926 is a Type 6334 which is the straight shaft ends.
Mid to late 1926 they changed over to Type 6334-B which is the taper shaft ends.
This information according to my Northeast Service Manual.

That particular type can be very elusive! To the best of my knowledge it was used 2 years only. (Mid '26 thru 27) One does show up on EBAY now and then if your not in a hurry. If you live near an industrial area a local electric motor shop should be able to rebuild that for you.
Good luck to you!

Looks good Mike!
I'll be back on the forums quite a bit now. Broke my ankle here in West Virginia. As we speak I'm in the Wheeling hospital. Got a steel plate and some screws installed.
Can't work on cars for a while as I walk about as good as a 3 legged dog.
Keep up the good work Mike!

A 26 Coupe for sale in the BUY_SELL forum. Counts for 2
Ummm, make that 3........

OK buddy......I'm going to make an offer you can't refuse.......
I have a like new copy of the book mentioned directly above.
I'll GIVE it to you for postage as my Model A is going to Germany soon.
This book is absolutely PERFECT for someone like you......the book even specifies which wrenches to use before embarking on a project!
CaHartley,
Umm, would you happen to have that "Book" for an Overland? You can adopt me I'm only 60........

Has anyone heard from Jason lately? I sent an email and have had no response. Just concerned when a member is missing for awhile.......

Not many old ones on the Island TOOOOOO MUCH MONEY to live here, and you still never answered my question.
I am kid at 55 in this hobby
I'm 60 so respect your elders kid! (Never thought I would EVER say that to a 55 year old)
In all seriousness we all have seen a change or we wouldn't see so many posts with the same subject theme. Maybe I'm just summarizing when I go to an auction, swap meet, car show and see an ocean of silver hair. Maybe I'm just ballparkin' when my Grandson says my old cars are cool but wants a 2015 Challenger Hellcat (Me too!)
Anybody who is not a baby boomer are the young ones. Generation X and everyone under! (Whatever their called now)

What is your idea of young? I have not seen a guy with a street rod under 65 in the past 5 years
Because I see you have two locations (Florida & Long Island) maybe you don't have any young people living there!
-
I have to agree with Kimo. I have watched prices drop dramatically. The age group that loves the 20's and 30's cars are OLD! The young ones are wanting rat rods or street rods so there is still some value to the old cars. I am seeing restored cars get made into street rods. Think of that as a parts source for the remainder of us still alive. After the last man standing? I hate to use this reference but how many people are restoring covered wagons?

"heart is pumping good with a steady pulse and good blood pressure"
:DYou or the car???????
Looks Great! And you are enjoying the moment! Ain't life grand?
-
Yes. The key goes in the centre and the lights are operated by a lever. Mine is a Clum switch. The other type used is Briggs and Stratton. There is a lot of variation in this area....Just ask Machinist Bill! ;)LOL.
Ray.
After buying several switches that I "Thought" would fit the only one that fit my dash was the Briggs & Stratton. For what I've spent Ray I could have flown to London, drove to Whales, and met you there. I could have bought all the Ale for the night, flown home, and still have $$$ left over!
Ain't life grand?

Wait,,,, I thought it was a museum ? :confused:
Bottom small print says "And Sales".

The only wood I have is the roof. The Body was built by Budd and is similar to the Dodge. I hate to say it but the 1925 Overland body was built better than my 1926 Dodge! I am the 3rd owner and hasn't been on the road since 1958.
The Connecticut distributor parts are very elusive and very EXPENSIVE when found. I will keep an eye open for your ignition parts.
Keep in touch!

Dave,
I start my days around 3am CST. That makes it midnight at Pacific time. You are staying up too long!
-
Can someone explain to me why someone would list a vehicle like this for such a high starting bid in the condition this thing is in and why they would put a reserve on it at that point ? Seems very foolish because of the fee they are charged right off the top even if it doesn't sell.
Some folks have money to burn I suppose....
It might be an honest description based on the information the seller received. Remember this is a used car salesman! Some people just don't know better.
Then again it could be a slug who has watched too many reality car shows on TV.............

Found this on the net not long ago. I wondered why my parents complained about high taxes!
-
Right now Bill you are my best friend!
I purchased this 1925 Overland Coupe this spring. The engine is out now getting ready for valve job, decking the block, and other expensive things I can come up with!
Your sedan looks great! I hate to bust in this Dodge Brothers Forum but what the heck.........:cool:

I see a lot of this. People bid when there is a reserve. No commitment.
not a dodge bro. ,but still nice. I have been restoring it , the body is mostly wood

Hello Bill! I never give up looking. I found one for myself and if I knew anyone who does sandcasting we could have a few made. I am posting photos of what you are looking for.
