WTB original Ford Babbitt drive shaft bushing FOUND!

Post by Quickm007 » Wed Jan 27, 2021 10:19 am

Hi Gentlemen, I need only one original Ford Babbitt front bushings in the goal to finish my 1914 driving shaft restoration as well. My rear end restoration going well. Here bellow a picture of what I'm looking for. I don't want the brass reproduction. Thank you for the attention about my request.

You might check with Larry "Original" Smith. Suggest editing your title, "WTB original Ford Babbitt drive shaft bushing".
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

I've seen them two ways. Some have the Ford script, and some do not. I've been saving cores for years, hoping that someday someone will be able to re-babbit them.

Hi Dear Larry, If you supply one to Bill Crosby he may be able to make them again. I do not want to commit for him but it will be nice having them available again in the Original way.

Most original Ford ones are a thin layer of babbitt over a steel sleeve.

I’m curious why you want a babbitt one and don’t want to use bronze? Have you had some problems with a bronze one?

I have a question. The bushing obviously has babbitt on the thrust face, does it also have babbitt along the length of the bushing? As a replacement, are they delivered with enough material to be shaved/reamed to fit?

Just curious,
Eric

Yes, they need to be faced - reamed, yes IF your d.s is stock O.D. or a new replacement.
