Fossil 520 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I've noticed those oil cans on the firewall before. Was there something that needed regular oiling? Water pump? Did the updraft carburetors on these work well? Link to post Share on other sites
CarNicopia 413 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 This isn’t a 60 series car. I’m not sure how to tell the difference between a 40 and a 50, but the golf door on a 1930 64C is square. Link to post Share on other sites

Water pump? Did the updraft carburetors on these work well? I've wondered about that, too. The lubrication schedule on old cars is pretty extensive, but it's not like you'd need to lube anything every few miles. Aftermarket? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
CarNicopia 413 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Mine has the same oil can, so I think it was an original equipment. The reference manual has a list of things that need to be lubricated with engine oil every 500 miles, which I presume is what it’s for. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Renascence 2 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 This is a 40 series car. They did not make a 50 series couple. The 50 and 60 series did use the same engine but on a shorter wheel base. Nice car but missing a few items. Link to post Share on other sites

I have one on my 1930 Ford as well as my 1913 Model T. I added them. The only cars I have seen them on which appear stock are some pre-1932 cars. My friend has a 1912 Hudson which has a double bracket holding two oil cans......must need lots of lube! As far as updraft carbs, my only experience is with Fords and mine work great.
