Make sure you get the correct one for your application. With the different venturii, the M-1 was used on engines from 87 to 350 CID.

blastermike Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 Ok AHa i will try and find out what model mag was used, i also need the mag and throttle hand controls that were fixed above the steering wheel, they are alloy, mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHa Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) Post a picture of the top of the steering column where these parts would go. I may have what you need. Where are you located?

Bud Tierney Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) For your mag it might help to ID your Cont'l---looks like if original should be "N", often listed as "N-NA" in catalogs...(NA MIGHT'VE been Unit Power Plant (Eng/clutch/trans together, usually bolted but occasionally with one casting)... .00PS---watch it---looks like there was an 11X 2Ton with a different engine...

blastermike Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) Hi bud, you are right its engine nos is 113287 N. and theres another box with date, but no date just. 3 3/4. which i take is piston diameter? the republic list of chassis nos puts it in 1920. Chassis nos 11XR 12704 im assuming the R stands for righthand drive?, i will add some pics of the remains of the hand controls thanks mike Edited August 11, 2020 by blastermike Spelling mistake (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Tharp Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 This Dale in Montana and Ks.

Bud Tierney Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 So far so good on the mag---the N=NA was very popolar, so should be owners around to let you know what mag's on theirs--- The N/NA was issued in two bores---31/2 and 33/4---but the 33/4 one is apparently the mostly used truck engine; don't know if they came with different mags... Suggest you make a new post---looking for mag for Cont'l N-NA 33/4 bore---should turn up help... OGood luck!!ne of the vintage electrical parts dealers may have books specifying which you need or what will work... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffordK Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 @blastermike Somebody mentioned we're working on very similar truck projects. Right down to the same rear-end (I think). Although I have pneumatic tires on mine. Commerce brand. What is your engine number? Data plate on the right front of the engine. It was mentioned in my post that the bore may also be listed on the data plate. I'm still trying to determine the year of my truck. Mine has a Bijur 6V generator (not sure of the model) coupled to a Robert Bosch ZU4 magneto. I am planning to make a tool to remove the sparkplug/valve bungs in the next week or two. Unfortunately, my steering wheel is in worse shape than yours I'm completely missing the carburetor. So... I can't help you there. Is that the upper radiator tank on the side of the truck rails? Slightly different from mine, although I've wondered if there was a common manufacturer for truck radiators. There is a video of the Pacific Northwest Truck Museum that shows a Kenworth with a similar radiator design (to my Commerce). I should have the radiator out shortly.

carbking Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Mike - in the for what its worth category, checking both the factory Zenith and Stromberg records: Zenith - no record of a sale to Republic for the 11X; no record of a T-4 sold to Continental for the model N engine. Stromberg - sold the M-1 to Republic for use on the 11X Of course, these records are 100 years old The Stromberg M-1 is much more common than the Zenith T-4 (you have to complete with the motorcycle dudes for the T-4), and parts also are much more common.

blastermike Posted September 7, 2020 Author Share Posted September 7, 2020 Hi jon i have spoken with another republic 11x owner who told me the carb on his continental n engine was a zenith T4 he did say it could of been non original but it was attached to the inlet tube and looked in the same condition as the rest of his unrestored truck, if the stromberg m1 is correct ? do you know what venturi size m1 it should be ? or are all m1 carbs the same? also would the zenith t4 work on this engine? appreciate your help and advice on this matter, thanks mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbking Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Mike - without pulling a print, I don't know the venturi size of either. Either, with the proper venturi, would work well on the truck. Each has probably 5 or so different venturii. When we were still building carbs, we would just start with the correct housing, and machine the necessary internal parts; sounds expensive, but really less so than trying to find exactly the correct calibration in a used carburetor. From a pot-luck standpoint, an unknown M-1 has a better chance of having a reasonably correct venturi and corresponding jets than the T-4, as a large percentage of the M-1's were used on engines in the 220~240 CID range, where the majority of the T-4's were used on engines in the 170~180 CID range.

blastermike Posted September 7, 2020 Author Share Posted September 7, 2020 Hi jon, ok sounds like my best bet is to find an m1, i have just bought a zenith T4, so if i get one of each i may have a good chance of having something that will work, thank you very much for your help Dale all the wheels on my truck need rebuilding, the front and rears have 14 spokes and look heavier and are more square shaped, im thinking your wheels could be for the smaller model 10 or model E ? as they came in 1 ton size, the spokes are rounded and theres only 12 thanks for the offer and im sure theres someone out there who needs them, Mike pic of a rear and front wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHa Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Mike, those wheels look pretty solid in the photos. I would suggest getting some West System Epoxy and maybe thinning it slightly, then painting it on with a brush. The wood will suck it in and dry spots will appear. At that point you need to put a little more on and again and again until it stops showing dry spots. Best done on a hot day outside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blastermike Posted September 7, 2020 Author Share Posted September 7, 2020 Thanks for the advice but 3 of the wheels are buggered where its sat on the ground with wet grass id say, i can push my finger into the areas and the front left is so rotten the rim has just about fallen off!! mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffordK Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Your wheels look a lot like mine, but with the the difference of solid rubber vs pneumatic. Coker says they'll rebuild the wood on wheels, with good metal parts supplied by the customer. However, nothing mentions prices. And, with all their other prices, I'd expect them to cost an arm and a leg. Several people have mentioned that I need to look for Amish wheelwrights who might do it for a reasonable price. But, I need to get my metal parts sorted out before I try anything. Of course, you also have to deal with the solid rubber tires. It looks like these guys can take a pile of bits and pieces and return some pretty looking wheels and tires. https://overmancushion.com/ In my case, I'm currently hunting for the rims, but may try rolling my own (or modifying what I do find, if I can't find any I like. Then I'll try my hand at building wheels. The basic concept seems pretty straight forward, although I'm a bit worried about cutting perfect miters. Like yours, my spokes, both front and back are primarily a modified square, and should be within what can be made with simple tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHa Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Calimers, in Pennsylvania, will take your metal parts and make you new wheels. There is a buggy place in Ohio, I'd have to look up the name, that makes buggy wheels. They could do the work as well. It's not that hard, if you know what your doing. You just have to bend the second growth hickory into a perfect circle,then cut your spokes and press them into the wheels, then center cut the hub perfectly in the center. Got a 24" lathe? You can do it with a mill but its harder to center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked up a couple of fairly large pottery wheels a while ago. It shouldn't be that hard to make something that could spin a fairly large piece of wood, but not as easy to cut large steel circles, although one might be able to grind steel circles.

1912Staver Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 There was a gent in the Portland area who did wood wheels, always had a display at the swap meet. Last time I talked to him, 3 or 4 years ago he was thinking about retiring or downsizing to just Model T wheels. . He may have retired by now .

1912Staver Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) Mike, do you know who made your steering box ? Chances are Republic bought in the steering gear complete , pitman arm to steering wheel. The top controls were most likely used on a number of other vehicles besides your particular model of Republic. Do you have any photo's from another truck to give us an idea of what the controls should look like ?

I don't know if I took a photo of the steering. So the lower part is rigid, and the upper part turns? Throttle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blastermike Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 Hi clifford, probably best to try and find someone who has a complete commerce truck similar as yours, and ask for pictures and info of the parts your missing so you know what to look for, thats what ive done, the quadrant is rigid and there are two levers, one for the spark advance/retard and another lever for the throttle, i wouldnt be surprised if the steering box and controls were from the same manutacturer? mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I don't remember seeing anything going to the magneto with a spark advance. I'll have to look at it a bit closer. I had assumed that I had two levers coming off of the steering, but that "quadrant" looks like it could match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHa Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Mike, Your truck evidently had a foot throttle. There is no indication of a second lever on the steering column. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blastermike Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share Posted September 11, 2020 Hi AHa, thanks for that i assumed it had both a hand throttle and foot throttle like some of my other trucks, im hoping i can adapt the lever to fit my column ? will let you know when it turns up mike.
