Dandy Dave Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 Hello Berta, I've been taking to Larry and told him about this a while ago. And yes, I believe he did see this.I got in a conversation over in the AACA general Forum about where stuff disappears to after a time. Wayne said, do a search. And I did a search and posted a link to the thread. Someone responded and Wal-la. Here it is at the top again! And here for quite some time I thought it was gone for good! I'm glad it is not. But I do wish there was a way I could edit out some of the links to the smileys that were on the old website.The first thing Larry needs to do is jack up the back end and see which wheel slides off and still has a piece of axle attached to it. If the wheels do not slide out, then it could be a keyway key, or the driveshaft. Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 :eek: The right axle is broke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Dave Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 Larry is talking about his 1915 Truck.... Send it on over Larry, we'll see what we can do about it. Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jules greenway Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Davewhat a great description of a very ambitious task! did the finished axle need to be heat treated or is the modern steel tough enough without? cheersJules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Dave Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 I chose not to harden it as these axles are quite beefy as they are. I have driven my 15 Buick many joyouce miles since and have not had a problem. Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Dave Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Larry Brought me his axles awhile back and I have finally got around to making them. Here is a link to the chat in the AACA General Forum for you interested Buick Guys that do not venture there often.http://forums.aaca.org/f169/making-axles-again-322685.html#post1003785P.S. Triller, I held out a while, but Larry never said he would unload that rearend less C-4 Buick Truck he has taking up space. I guess you are out of luck on this one as he will soon have his parts. .... ..... Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thriller Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 When I first asked Larry about consideration should he ever let go of the '15, he told me I was at the back of a fairly lengthy line. He finds them coming out of the woodwork, so I've got him keeping his eyes open for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhigdog Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Hey Dave. Re your "new" B&S 2L surface grinder. If you need to do any work on it I have the disassembly and repair manual. I needed to do a lot of work on mine including fabricating a new cross feed screw and nut. The whole machine is lubricated by an oil pump and about 15 Bijur type metering jets. You'll want to make sure they are working.......................Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Bridgport Mill has one as well as other machinery I have run in the past. Yes, just like our early cars, these machines need regular lubrication. I do have the books for my machine as well. Thanks for the offer Bhigdog, Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
