30DodgePanel Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) Was told this one is impossible to restore and would like to prove folks wrong. I do all my own work and will be keeping everything original or at least time period correct (nothing is impossible). It may take me years to restore the entire truck so I'm not in a rush, I purchased the truck knowing it would be a life long effort because of the rarity and how scarce the parts are to locate. Any help on ID is greatly appreciated, I just need to know the specific model number if anyone recognizes it. I've been told by the expert in the business to go with a KSB but not doing that, again, I want it to be correct for my 1930 DA-124 3/4 ton as it came from the factory. Sorry for the poor lighting, let me know if better pics are needed to properly identify the part and I'll edit them.

Curti Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 The motor is rebuild-able IF the inside of the bowl is not blistered. There is no rocket science here. When you disassemble it, pay close attention to how the kicker is put together. Make an effort to use the same paddle. If all fails, I have a friend that has forgot more than I know about these Trico motors. Don't buy a kit yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30DodgePanel Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) Agreed Curt. Common sense approach I'm sure... Never tackled one of these yet but I'm sure after looking at a few diagrams it's within my realm of capabilities. No idea what model it is so no desire for a kit until I can ID it and troubleshoot any issues as you know... Any ideas on what specific model mine is though ? I've only seen this one on Dodge Brothers trucks from that time frame in literature (artists renditions). This one was pulled from a parts truck in WI and is the only one I've seen a photo of. Hoping someone has a Trico catalog that can identify it. Thanks, Dave Edited November 2, 2018 by 30DodgePanel (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinneyhill Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Scratching my dodgy memory here.... there have been wipers posted in these fora with their model showing, I would say raised but maybe stamped. There have also been printed instructions on overhaul plus a few topics about it. No doubt you have seen them. Is it possible to clean it so anything stamped or cast into it can be seen?

Curti Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I would say It is a KSB motor late 20's early 30's The model number was lightly stenciled with paint. Take it apart, there is NO rocket science here. If there are blisters in the bowl or on the top where the top of the paddle seals it is scrap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArticiferTom Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I think they are mostly same of that period . Was able to rebuild mine with a kit from Batton's ,model A used Trico's . The differences come in mounting and control valve , inside or outside . Ply 33 has info on his site on lubing . Model A site search got some better info , most is on here somewhere from two years ago or less . Also Dodge's where painted black from factory as was truck interior, I guess . No sure how crosses to larger Graham's . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curti Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Dave, if you are going to fool around with that old Trico motor, make your self a Trico screw driver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
