cricket-ny Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Hello all,New to the forum but not to AACA. In the process of rebuilding my 1929 Essex Challenger and looking for a reliable builder,preferably, in New York state that has experience pouring Babbitt Bearings. So far I have not had much luck. Any leads would be greatly appreciated. I am located in Central New York near Syracuse.Thanks,Cricket-ny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 51c8Joe Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Try the Classic Cars. com Hudson forum at Hudson Discussions on Classic Car Forum someone there will know who is the best Terraplane splasher fixer. You might get more of a response here if you post to the Hudson Essex & Terraplane forum. Not as well visited as the Classic Car site, but lots of traffic specific to HET.

Steve Braverman Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Try The Babbitt Pot in Fort Edward, NY. The owner's name is Zigmont. I've met him and he seems very knowledgable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cricket-ny Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 Thanks for the responses. I had talked to the Babbitt pot many many years ago but was recently told it had closed down. I will look into this as I know from past information that they do good work. I will also check with people described in the Pierce Arrow post above. Again thank you for the leads.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcarfudd Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Steve Bono in Bouckville does excellent work, mostly on brass-era cars. If he's not prepared to pour the babbitt himself, he ought to know who else in the area is reliable.Gil Fitzhugh, Morristown, NJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Boudway Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Give Dave Alexander at Joe's Engine Rebuilding a call in Penn Yan: (315) 536-9119Ask if he can pour the babbitt.I'm happy with the work they did on our Twin Six engine.If he doesn't do babbitt, send me a PM. I had the inserts done in Kansas City by Paul's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
