  1. I wish I was closer to California. I would buy it.
  2. I will see what I have. I should have something that would work.
  3. I will check but I think all the distributors I have are missing the coils
  4. I am needing to make room in my shop for my 1925 touring project and am hoping someone is needing or wanting a front passenger fender for a 1917-1918 dodge brothers. Contact me with questions.
  5. I am going to give this one last shot before have to take these to the scrap yard. I am running low on space in my shop, and I am needing to turn loose of some of my parts that wont help me on my 1925 touring car that I am restoring. So wanted to offer these parts up. have 3 engine blocks that I am hoping will help someone on their project. I have a 1919 Block Serial 406-911. It has a crank and front cover, oil pan, and starter generator cover. I also have a 1922 engine serial number 802-268. It is fairly complete. It has crank and cam, pistons, valves, flywheel, front cover, generator cover, head, oil pan, I probably have a carb I could toss in with it as well. I also have the 1922 transmission that was on it as well. This engine turns over, it has a couple of broken valve springs which is why i believe it was retired years ago. Lastly I have a 1926 Type B block serial number A605-819 this block has front cover, ball mount, starter generator cover, and crank. Contact me with any questions adamlakers@gmail.com
  6. I do still have them. PM me and we can work out details if you are interested.
  7. I am going to try to figure out gear ratio change. Can anyone tell me the number of teeth that the factory high speed sliding gear has as well as the counter shaft gear. I am guessing that the factory high speed sliding gear has 16 teeth. The front gear on my double gear has 20 teeth and the bottom countershaft gear has 24 teeth.
  8. So I want to update everyone. I did find a very small burr that was keeping the gear from sliding freely on the clutch shaft. So it is moving freely now. After putting it together multiple times I have come to the conclusion that someone swapped the high speed sliding gear for the double one that I have and then changed the lower counter shaft drive gear for a smaller one to fit with the new double gear up top. The spacer keeps you from being able to put it in 2nd which is the only gear that wouldn't work because the double gear would grind through the case. The spacer is the exact thickness to keep the shift lever from moving out of neutral in the downward swing to the right. If I remove it then I can get it to move past neutral and the double gear drags on the inside of the gear box. Has anyone ever seen a modification like this or heard of it. From everything I can tell it will all work in R 1 and 3 I just do not have 2nd. And if I am thinking about this correctly since the counter shaft gear is now smaller it will turn faster which should make 1st and R faster than it was stock.
  9. I was able to spend some more time trying to figure out this transmission issue. I think that I am more puzzled now than before. So I can see that in the documentation that the high speed sliding gear should be a single gear and not a double gear like what I have, but the double gear that I have meshes perfectly with the counter shaft drive gear. So when my high speed sliding gear is not slid into the High speed internal gear it does not drive against the counter shaft drive gear. And when my high speed sliding gear is slid into the high speed internal gear the other side of the double gear is driving against the counter shaft gear still. This would make me think that my counter shaft drive gear is smaller than it is supposed to be. So in other words if I was to get a new high speed sliding gear it would not drive against the counter shaft gear. I have read about the man that had redesigned the lower gears so that they were not quite as low speed, does anybody know if there were changes that were made to the counter shaft gear to make that work? Is it possible that this is actually a 1927 gear box that is different internally? Right now with the gear box not on the engine and the clutch being loosely slid into the gear box I can get it into first, reverse, high, but not second (this is the shift pattern that is listed for passenger vehicles in my 1926 book of information. Basically the gear shift can go forward left, downward left, forward right, but not downward right. And I can easily spin the U-joint and the clutch spins in the correct direction for the different gears selected. But since the high speed sliding gear will not slide freely on the clutch square shaft I can't get it into second gear. Any thougths? This is a picture of my counter shaft and lower gears.
  10. I am needing a high speed sliding gear for a 1926 dodge brothers transmission. The gear I am looking for slides on the square output shaft of the clutch assembly. It should look like the picture. Please contact me if you have a spare.
  11. I looked around my mechanics instructional manual the other night and didn't catch the fact that it shouldn't be a double gear. I have to wonder when in its life it got that put in, and why. Thanks for the help.
  12. I am not sure what the purpose of the spacer is since the gear doesn't go far enough on the square shaft to touch it. It was on the shaft inside the transmission right before the front bearing. It just seems the high speed sliding gear will not slide far enough onto the clutch. I will check to see if it is in line with the lower gear.
  13. I am working on putting together a spare Transmission and engine that I got in a bunch of parts that I got awhile back. I was told the engine and transmission were both rebuilt but had never been run. I tend to believe that based on everything I can see and the receipts I got with various parts. When I got the parts the transmission was not on the engine they were separate. I am having trouble with the transmission only wanting to shift into 2nd gear. If I take the top cover off of the transmission I can push the top cover forward about 3/8" and then it will shift into 1st and reverse. I can not get it to shift into 3rd. I have taken the transmission apart and it appears that the front gear does not go far enough onto the clutch square shaft. Here are some pictures of it out of the transmission. Should the gears slide all the way down to the spacer that is on the clutch shaft?
  14. I see that you have a set of rear fenders and a rear door for a 1926 Dodge Brothers touring car. My 16 year old daughter and I are working on restoring what is left of my Grandfathers 1925 Touring, and am interested in both your fenders and your door. Do you have other 1924 - 1926 Dodge Parts? I am in Wichita Kansas so would probably have to ship everything, so am curious what else you might have to make the shipping worth it. Adam Akers
