hudco hogs head
There is a Hudco hogs head for sale, I am not familiar with these, how are they different from a Ford hogs head? The one pictured looks like it is for a 1926/27, is this correct?

Re: hudco hogs head
Hudco transmission covers are HEAVY. I sold one because I was concerned the weight would cause the pan to bend where the engine meets the cover. I would never consider using one with a four dip pan.

Re: hudco hogs head
I have one I intend to install when I remove the engine from the '19 Centerdoor IF I have to do bands again - anyone ever had the pleasure of installing bands in a Centerdoor ???? - !!!!!!!
I'm going to install the 4 dip corner reinforcements when I do - Richard - should remedy that concern.

Re: hudco hogs head
I've never seen one. I'm not sure how many of us have. They are a delight to know about.

Re: hudco hogs head
I saw one of these at a Swap meet in California over 30 years ago.
So I decided to make one as our cars are RHD. It only ended up adding a few ounces more that an original hogshead.
If you use a hack saw blade to cut the section out there is only the thickness of the blade to seal off.
I used a flat piece of steel about 1 1/2" wide 1/4" flat and formed it in sections around the area to be cut straddling the position of the proposed cut
The sections were then drilled and tapped on either side of where the cut was to be and they were bolted to the hogshead.
Each section was welded to the one next to it. The steel strap was then removed and a hacksaw used to cut in the center between the tapped holes.
The cut out section was then bolted to the steel and the heads cut off. I had the steel brazed to the cut out section but using JB Weld would work too.
It was then only a matter of drilling the other holes for clearance for the bolts in the removed section and it can then be bolted to the hogshead again.
This leaves just the thickness of the hacksaw blade and the overlapping of the flat steel makes it easy to apply a sealer, it never leaks.
Ideal for a Centerdoor or any T which is hard to get to the bands, it can be unbolted and removed in minutes, and is easy to put back in especially getting the band ears around the pedal shafts. An ideal winter job for someone with a few basic tools.

Re: hudco hogs head
Me too Charlie. That's what I like about this forum and the hobby...always something new to learn. Almost daily.
And as for a Centerdoor...since I don't have nor desire one, I never realized of course the difficulty in getting at the bands.
But thinking about it, now I can see why. I have a friend who would like one, I wonder if he knows or thought about this...I'll have to ask him!
