Model T Ford Forum: Forum (old): Transmission Cover

Need an opinion. I have a '25 Touring with a motor built on July 1, 1925 but I when I found the car it had a 3376C transmission cover on it. The type that bolts to the back of the new engine with the boss at the rear that mates to the new trans cover. These were started on July 27, 1925. Is it possible that new trans covers were put on earlier engines in July, or do I have a shadetree/dealer conversion? Thanks.

Anything is possible. I presume you have an engine block without the boss at the rear to which the transmission cover bolts. The later cover only works with the later transmssion (with the wide brake drum) so you must have that as well.
I have no idea if Ford made such aa arrangement but they could have. It could also have been changed by some owner. I have this arrangement on my 1923 Ford.

Rick,

Is your car a Canadian model by any chance? For some reason, I think a previous posting from a long while back mentioned that a Canadian T had the cover with the bolt holes before the block had the matching bolt holes. But with my memory, I could easily have that confused with something else. The good news your brake band should last longer!
