dwollam 39 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 That side mount looks like a regular rear mount that has the ends rebent. It normally bolted to the brackets on the rear of the frame crossmember that covers the gas tank. Link to post Share on other sites
Jferrer 10 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Can someone tell me the difference between my car and the one on the old ad ? never mine the side mount Link to post Share on other sites
Jferrer 10 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Bob ,I'm sorry for saying my car is a 128 ,I was just going for the first three old pics you post ,I still can tell the difference between the first set of pics you post of the 128 and the second set of pics of the 124.

Bob Scafani 20 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 The difference in the body is the door post. The cowl on a 128 is smooth, and the cowl on the 124 has the post protruding. The 128 has 19" wheels, 109" wheel base, flat crown on the fenders, face of the bumpers are convex rather than flat. Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing is written in stone or sacred about the late twenties cars. With the depression on and all of the homemade stuff in the era, we are liable to find almost anything not seen before.

Bob Scafani 20 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 What you can't see is the sand paper I glued to his feet to sand off the rust. This is the standard six I sold Roger. At one time I thought I needed one of each year Dodge. I still have too many. Link to post Share on other sites
Jferrer 10 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Do anyone has any info on this trunks ? Link to post Share on other sites
dwollam 39 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Looks like someone fabbed up the mounts for the trunk. Trunks were aftermaket accessories as far as I know. One question, how and where do you put gas in this car? The filler neck is covered or moved. Link to post Share on other sites
1930 4 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Some trunks such as the one on my car were dealer installed, consumer had no choice in the matter, that was the only way you could buy the car was with trunk. I know majority of them though were accesories as dwollam pointed out. Link to post Share on other sites
Jferrer 10 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 In this car the trunk is bolted to a long hinge that is bolted to the trunk mounts or frame ,so it can be lift up like a door to get to the gas cap,sounds complicated,but it's actually very simple ,everything looks very symmetrical and old looking like is being there since new.

mrpinky 10 Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 hey redshed yes i do got the motor and parts yet can anyone post a picture of the air cleaner for a 25 dodge 4cy thanks John Link to post Share on other sites
dwollam 39 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 25 DB did not have an air cleaner. Late 26 when they went to the 6 volt engine was the 1st one. Link to post Share on other sites
Jferrer 10 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 What does a 27 4 cyl air cleaner look like? Link to post Share on other sites
John1918 0 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Take a look at the "dodge (where to) start?" post. The first pic will show you. It wasn't an air filter and general opinion is that it didn't work very well. John Link to post Share on other sites

dwollam 39 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Here are some pics of a couple 1927 124 models and 1 1928 128 model. The crusty one with the carb assembled backwards is a 27 124 as is the really nice 1927 124 sport roadster double pic. The other clean engine is the 1928 128 "Fast Four". Same engine, different year car/chassie. The red engine is in a 1927 124 coupe. Link to post Share on other sites

nearchoclatetown 274 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Here is a pic of the carb on this 1928 124 Jferrer, that carb looks just like the one on my International farm tractor. Link to post Share on other sites
Jferrer 10 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 What kind of air filter do you have on your tractor ? Can you post a pic of it? Link to post Share on other sites
nearchoclatetown 274 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Can't post pics. Look for a picture of a Farmall A or Internatonal 140, they are pretty common. Air cleaner is an "S" shaped pipe leading to an oil bath container, pretty ugly for a car. For a car I'd put a motorcycle dirt bike sock inside one of the turbine types, it would look original and actually clean the air. Link to post Share on other sites
Jferrer 10 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I liked the idea of the bike filter,thanks Link to post Share on other sites
mrpinky 10 Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 I liked the idea of the bike filter,thanks the air filter is a simple set up for a ford 9n it hooks to your air intake by a rubber hose and hose clamped and then there is a canister with the filter in it and then a snorkle that goes up thru the hood with a round cap on it you can pick them up at a tractor supply store or central tractor store. And you should of got your lenz today for your head lamp leave me know if you got it and if its ok thanks john Link to post Share on other sites
Jferrer 10 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Thanks for the info,and yes the lens came today, it was in great shape,just like you described it Link to post Share on other sites
