What difference, if any, was there between the 4 cyl. Ford put in the AA Trucks and the 4 cyl. they put in the standard cars? Thanks, Smitty

Nope, a tractor. Going to look at it today. No title, guy says it runs & stops well. He's asking $2,800 for it. Shucks, the wolf whistle alone is worth $50. Updates later.You do not have permission to view this gallery.

Other than the 9 3/4" clutch, nothing is different. The 1928's with the multiple disk clutch used a heavier spring in the clutch assembly.

Actually, I believe the only difference was the passenger car engine had an 8# clutch, and the AA stamped engines had a 10# clutch. Also, that was not throughout production as they decided that they could both use the same clutch.You wana look waaay far up da road and plan yer route because the brakes are far more of a suggestion than a command!

When Ford started production, the A clutch spring was a 420 pound spring and the AA clutch spring was a 455 pound spring. Starting with about engine number A-26268 (February 1928) the AA prefix on the engines were dropped due to the fact that all clutch springs were to be the same weight of 420 lbs thus ALL vehicles had the A prefix, car, light commercial and trucks. More than likely the use of the smaller 420 pound spring for AA truck use was just not suffecient enough for the heavier loads so in May 1928 Ford decided to go back to the 455 pound spring and continue those engines with the AA prefix. Not sure of the engine number for which that occured.

Thanks guys! I went and looked at it today. The pictures are a little deceiving. That thing is bigger than I thought it would be. Got it started and it seemed to idle ok. With a straight pipe it was rather loud. Turns out the guy just bought this in April of this year at an auction. He's had it on Craigslist for about 3 weeks. He told me I was the first one to come & actually look at it. It does intrigue me. Didn't drive it. He had to move a bunch of stuff to get it out. It is a 4 speed with the little lever on the shifter to put it in reverse. I may let him sit on if for awhile & give him a call back. He had some current receipts for clutch work. He told me he knew very little about the engine rebuild, but he thought it was done back in the 80's. We'll see.

When I was a teenager, I took the engine, flywheel and clutch out of my AA and installed it in a Sedan. Used the bell housing and tranny from the sedan. I also used the AA radiator and shell on the sedan.Alaskan A's

by rrich1Hi,
I have been lurking for a few weeks trying to learn as much as I can. I recently purchased my grandfather's '31 AA. He purchased it very early 80's and he sold it in '11 when alzheimer's started to set in. Well yesterday I was able to purchase it back. Growing up, I'm 33, we would take it to Walcott Iowa every year for the Trucker's Jamboree truck show. I have a lot of great memories...-

by pAAtI just heard from my friend, that the Warford overdrive is in the truck
He took the AA for a drive and said that at 45 mph he got a bit of a shake. He said it never did that before
. I'm sure he'll take care of that, just like his total rebuild of the overdrive ! It's nice to have a piece of my world speeding through Nebraska

by pAAtMitch, is there a chance of doing this ? It would help me get a friend involved and he is very knowledgable in the early ones. Most of all it would benefit me greatly, selfish I am, and it would possibly get my truck going. Thank you for your consideration on this manner.
P.S.- this is serious, but they are really fun to use ! Pat

by RowdyLooking at the 32 Ford Parts list it appears the late 28 through 31 clutch peadal is the same A vs AA, but the 30-31 AA brake pedal is different. Does anyone know what the difference is? Getting ready to sort out some pedals and want to mark the AA pedals that I am sure are in the pile. Thanks Rod

by CarlGI just received my copy of "The Restorer" last night. One of the articles made mention of an AA with 4-wheel drive.
Has anyone seen this vehicle? The only mention of it was just that it was on display at some event, but had no pictures or other information on it.
Edit:
It was listed as a display Vehicle at the MAFFI Museum Model A Day IX page 15 The Restorer...-

by DaWizardWell, it happened, the AA I have been working on was posted on MAFCA's Facebook page. Don't tell anyone about the mechanic that worked on it.
