Some studebaker adventures


Recommended Posts

Looks like you are enjoying the car. 

 

Like Grimy, with the deep water fording I would be concerned about the wheel bearings but also the rear axle and transmission lube. Remember these cars do not have lip seals so water easily passes through any shaft opening, including the engine crankshaft. 
 

The rear axle oil drip tubes would have been fully submerged and would allow some water inside the axle tubes and bearings as the felt seals would not be capable to keep it out.

wow!....I was browsing youtube last night, and I ran across the video of you guys in the mud.  I applaud you all for driving these cars as if it were 1921 road conditions (poor and non existent) !!   sure had to be brave to go off on such a journey!  must have been a real adventure!

Can you tell us more about the trip?  Where was it? how many cars? (3 cars were in the video), was it a camping trip?  

(I am assuming the guy in the jeep posted the video?)
