Did they ever have a tool to remove the outer axle housing cap?

Yes they did. It is shown in the photo below, the upper left item. If anyone has on I would definitely like to see some pictures of it.

Pep C Strebeck

It also had wheels to roll it around the shop and short legs to set it down on the floor to make it more solid. Just let the air out of the tires to lower it and blow them back up to move it. I think that how easy this rolls, even with a complete axle on it, is fantastic. You can easily roll it out...

Pep C Strebeck

If anyone might have one or a couple that they would be willing to part with, I am looking for at least 1 N.O.S. Babbitt thrust washer for the rear axle. One would be sufficient, but a couple would be better. Definitely not buying them to use, just need a couple of "good" examples. Please let me kno...

Pep C Strebeck

Just some more of the tools. The photos below show one of the original Cantrell-Miller tools for installing the "oil retainer" into the axle housing. Not an essential or required tool by any means, but it made pushing the modern neoprene seal into the housing simple enough. In the link below there i...

Just some close-up photos of some of the tools. IMG_6689_2.JPG The Stevens drive shaft bushing puller works well, you just need to make sure that the back side of the bushing is "clean" and free of grease. If there is any grease, the pawls that actually grab onto the bushing to pull it out just kind...

my usual "down on hands and knees, in the mud, and the blood and the grease !" Thank you for posting. Getting down at this point is not the real problem, it's getting back up. I just physically can't do it like I did before. Forty or 50 years ago, on the ground and on the knees, dead lifting the wh...

Pep C Strebeck

I love the little trailer to carry the torque tube. Great idea. Thank you. That is something that got "modified" before the axle was put back in, it just needed a bit more height/reach. It is a nice solid connection to the jack and does not wander around when you go to pull it out or move the axle ...

Pep C Strebeck

And a couple more. IMG_6657_2_2.JPG IMG_6658_2.JPG IMG_6659_2.JPG IMG_6662_2.JPG Please forgive the "modern" wing nuts and spacers on the Stevens tool, the originals have not come back from the plater yet. The spacer that fits over the end of the drive shaft and the tool I had made, and they were co...

Pep C Strebeck

A couple more. IMG_6544_2_2.JPG IMG_6545_2.JPG IMG_6546_2.JPG This next one made cleaning and de-greasing the differential and inside the axle housing a lot easier and cleaner than anything that I had done before. An old, "worn-out" hub with a crank handle add to it and then just fill the differenti...

Pep C Strebeck

Here are some photos of it in use.

Pep C Strebeck

I think that I now have almost everything I need to make overhauling the rear axle a lot easier and less of a physical struggle (87 years old come April) than any other axle that I had done in the past. I always wanted a KRW axle stand and have had more than one opportunity/chance to buy one over th...

Pep C Strebeck

Nothing that spectacular, but a new baffle for the muffler. IMG_6645_2_2.JPG Coming into the home stretch of an axle rebuild/overhaul and I wanted to replace the reproduction cast iron muffler with an original. The original cast iron muffler had a good shell and baffle but the inner baffle was ruste...

Pep C Strebeck

Still in need of a usable shackle.

Pep C Strebeck

I did not even pay any attention to it while I was pulling out the bearing sleeves, but someone had installed a freeze/Welch plug into the hole for the sleeve dimple. IMG_6556.JPG IMG_6557.JPG Any ideas as to why someone would have installed these here? The axle was fitted with a set of Watts Seals.

Still in need of a spring shackle.

Pep C Strebeck

John,
I sent you a PM.

Pep C Strebeck

Thank you for the help and for the looking. Even if anyone has only one half of a good shackle, that will REALLY help me out. Thanks again, Joe.

Pep C Strebeck

I am looking for a useable rear spring shackle, the '17 to '23 forged style shackle not the later C style. I am in need of one to make a matched set. If anyone might have one available, please let me know. I need one that is useable, not repairable. You can contact me through a PM here on the forum,...

Both claim to stabilize gasoline in the tank, although neither says how long. The label on the bottle says "UP TO 24 MONTHS". If I am going to store something for 2 years, I would definitely drain out the gas. IMG_6490_2_2.JPG Depending on how long something is going to sit and how much fuel is in ...

I looked at the end of the screw handle shown in the photo below: IMG_6479_2_2.JPG IMG_6480_2.JPG The diameter of the end is 0.580" and the un-threaded portion in just shy of 0.125" in length (before the threads start). With the ID that you gave me, there would be about 0.020" clearance for the thre...

Thank you Dean! Is it threaded in any way or is it just a sleeve that fits over the axle threads and the end of the screw on the puller? If I am seeing it right in the photo, it just looks as though it is a sleeve.

Pep C Strebeck

Just wanted to bring this back to the top. Hopefully some folks have an example of the missing part that I need and could share some photos and dimensions. Thanks for looking and for your help.

Pep C Strebeck

I have the tool but I can’t get to the tool Crate right now. It will be about a month before I can help. Thank you for the help Travis, I will be looking forward to it. The image from the Stevens catalog shows that the piece in question "may" be knurled, going back to what Scott had said about it m...

A side note to looking for an example of my missing piece, there were 3 versions of this tool: 409625.jpg 409798.jpg Stevens-sleeve-puller2s.jpg The one that I have (and need to make the part for) is the type shown in the second photo. The only difference between the tools shown in the second and th...

Just out of pure curiosity, why is this such an interesting detail?

Just trying to rectify what I had seen and remember from 60+ years ago versus what I see today.

Pep C Strebeck

Don't forget they also offer a distributor puller for stuck/hard to remove distributor bodies. Available from most all of the Model A vendors. I have had to use them before, they do work. Patience, time and penetrating oil.

I am trying to figure out if any of the original K.R. Wilson W-34 Holding Plates had the 3 countersunk mounting holes, as shown in the 1926 catalog, or was this just an artistic license/interpretation or had they not settled on the finished design yet? IMG_0002.jpg The photo that John had posted a l...

I am looking for a couple of examples of original K.R. Wilson W-34 Differential Holding Plates. In particular I am looking for details of the mounting holes where they would mount to the bench top.

If anyone would happen to have a pinion gear close at hand, I am looking for a couple of dimensions/measurements. Basically I am looking for the overall width/diameter of the gear (widest point) and the overall height of the gear. There is a 300+ mile difference between myself and certain spare part...

I have one on the car and tell you that they run well. Some have said that they are a "hard" starting carburetor, but I have never found that to be the issue. It starts easily with either the hand crank or starter. As for the flapper, it is supposed to help with the low speed idle to make it run smo...

Pep C Strebeck

Thank you for all the help and information. From the measurements taken from original tools, the diameters say that they would face off the entire thrust surface, 1.570"+ for most all of them with the K.R. Wilson one that Sean had posted being just slightly smaller, but still larger than the outside...

Pep C Strebeck

Randall, thank you for posting I appreciate the help and information. I am going to call on Monday and ask the vendors about this dimension on the spot facer that they sell. I have seen more than one reference to the diameter being 1.500" and that does not strike me as being correct. That seems a li...

The flapper would be located behind the choke butterfly and would mount/pivot on the small rod attached to the brass screw that can be seen in the photo below: IMG_5130.JPG You can see the small rod (horizontal) in this photo.

The one that you have listed on Ebay is not an NH, a straight-thru carburetor yes, but not an NH and not made by Holley. Either a Western Auto or Simmons Super-Power, both aftermarket. There would have been a wire heating element where the brass screw is filling in the hole. Does the carburetor that...

Bob, thank you for the photos, that is exactly what I was looking for. The one that I have has been welded on and ground so the original detail/shape/dimension is lost.

Thank you Ken, that is exactly what I am looking for. It looks like a "shadow" line from a square piece in the center to hold the magnets in place.

In getting ready for an upcoming rear axle/driveline rebuild I thought that I would take the time to fix a problem with the Stevens Drive Shaft Bushing Puller that I have.

Pep, Look on Ebay search "lufkin micrometer 1942" and there are several at decent prices. Not to hijack or change the thread: The Lufkin model 1942 and the model 1942-1/2 are two different micrometers, very similar, but different. There are plenty of model 1942 micrometers but the 1942-1/2 is a bit...
