:)So do all 1929's have 20 inch - 8 lug and a 6 1/2 inch centre hole and the 1930 model 733 have 20 in.-7 lug and a 5 1/2 in. centre hole. What about the model 745, is it 19in.-8 lug and what size centre hole? Thanks Ed

I have these packard wheels and axles but don't know what year or model car they came off.The man I bought them from thought they were 1930-31. Three are disc wheels, 20 inch, 8 lugs with a 6 1/2 inch centre hole. One is a wire wheel the same size. All have what ,I believe are wheel weights, that look like little cups on the wheels, between the wheel and hub.They all have 750-20, what look like truck tires, on them. Rear axle has a number stamped on the front of the housing *126981H* with the letter Q under that number. There are two large lock rings at the front,by the pinion gear(my 733 has only one).The brake drums are 14inch . The front axle has no # stamped on the front of the pass. side spring perch, but has the letter B stamped the back side of that spring perch. Also on the inside of that axle, are rised numbers D-11 555 17A as part of the axle casting. Every thing looks the same as my 733 packard axles except for the wheel wieghts and sizes. Any help would be appreciated Thanks Ed

Hi, I,m new to this forum and also not to handy with this new technogy (computers).I,m restoring a 733 seven pass. sedan ,(along with your help hopefully) which I purchased last year, I.ve got three Packard disc wheels and one wire wheel which I don,t know what they belong to? They are 20" and have 8 lugs and a 6 1/2" centre hole. Also a rear end with a #stamped *126981H8* Q on the pot. Also a front axle with no # on the front of the pass. spring perch, but ther is a letter B stamped on the back side of that spring perch, and there are also rised numbers on the inside of the axle casting # D-11 5.55 17A ?????Any help would be appreciated, Thanks

Hi guys I,m new to the Packard scene.so my knowledge is very limited as are my computor skills. I bought a 1930 model 733 7 pass. sedan , last year, which I,m restoring. The car came with 19" disc wheels with 7 lugs and a 5-1/2 "centre hole,from reading the manual these should be 20"rims, right? I also purchased threes 1930-31 (the man though) 20"disc wheels which have 8 lugs and a 6 1/2" centre hole and one wire wheel the same size. They are Packard rims, but I don,t know what year????

Tom, There,s a good picture of a 1930 oil gauge in the Hemmings Classis Car magazine issue #47. I just received it. The item is all about a 740 Packard, great story.My 733 oil ga. is all brass with a black indicater. The one in the magazine is white with a red area in the empty zone. Hope this helpes.

Steve @<st.paulpipefitter@gmail.com> has a front bumper for sale.

HI KLT, The numbers are posted on o5/o5/08 just two post up along with my e-mail address. Send me a e- mail please or your phone # and I'll be in touch. Thanks Ed

Thanks Ken, I'm not sure make year the axles are, but I'll see if I can find those spamped # . They are larger than the 733 models,which I though they where. They have 20" rims on them with the 8 hole bolt pattern, I believe there 1929 but not sure. Hi Ken again,(front axle) I could not find a # stamped on the spring perch but there is the letter "B" stamped on the back side of the spring perch along with a # cast in the axle itself on the back side # D-11555 17A The hup caps from my 733 fit those disc wheels,if that means anything. (rear axle) The ony # I could find was on the front of the pot by the bolts * 126981H *, there is a star at the front and end of that number. If you send me your e-mail #,I"ll try and send some pictures along, (dloyens@295.ca)

Never in a hurry....

Thanks West I've dicided to stay with disc wheels, but will keep yours in mind. I would need everything thats required to put a trunk on my 733, as there's nothing there now. Thangs ED

Thanks Superod, I have the front and rear axles for the larger model packard , Thanks Ed

Thank-you West Peterson list of items reqiured for the 733 20 inch disc wheels with snap rings radiator, 1930 tail lights, head lights and bar, rear bumper with brackets, trunk rack, all the window garnishes, front window brackets to hold it open, Thank Ed

The front axle has two 20 inch x 8 bolt disc. rims on it., The rear axle has one 20 inch x 8 bolt disc rim, and one 20 inch x 8 bolt wire wheel rim.The tires are 750 x20, but are no good.A couple of the snap rings are rusted through,but the rest of the stuff is quite useable. I'm looking for 1930 model 733 stuff and willing to trade things, let me know what you have. Tnanks Ed

WTB rad. for my 733. Needs to have a good top and bottom,I can have a new core put in. Thanks Ed

Hi Tom No Tom I,m not going to rod my car, I just like 12 volt systems so I can get better lighting,heater, etc. I,m going to keep every thing esle as orginal as possible. My question is do I need the shaft from the gen. to keep the timing chain in place and functional. I,m going to have my gen. checked out reguardless Thanks Ed

Tom, thanks for your reply, I,m thinking of putting an alternator {12volt}sytem on my 1930 Packard.Could I leave the gen. off, and make a bracket, the same size as the gen. so I can still keep the right tension on the timing chain, and mount the alternator on this bracket. I,m assuming the shaft running through the gen. only drives the gen. {by way of the timing sprocket}but does not hold the sprocket in place. I just like 12 volt sytems, or am I losing it??? Thanks Ed

What size are the wheels, I currently have 19" on my 1930 733 with should have 20" . I could live with 19" for now. Thanks Ed

I,m looking for a good detailed 1930 733 shop manual.You may have something Thanks Ed

Tom I have a question re. my 1930 733 gen.Is it the shaft of the gen that holds the timing chain in place, or is it the housing part of the gen. I can,t find any pictures or info. on this.

Geoff, check Hemmings March issue for 29/30 standard 8

Thank-you Restorer 32 I think I'll try and find good quality 20" disc rims and snap rings.
