Years ago I made a sign for the rear of the vehicles I used a tow bar on.Originally posted by CarlG View Post
It read "CAUTION CAR IN TOW", and my cousin's little girl asked why I had a car in my toe.
I never was sure, as she was quite young, but I think she was just being funny.Comment

Was the long one piece shaft original to all four years of the Model A and the two piece for a shorter lower shaft extension later or after market? Also the lower shaft is just tongue to tongue with no pins holding it together with upper shaft? Thank You.03-18-2019, 11:31 AM -
Most Model A distributor drives that I have seen use a separate shaft that couples the engine drive to the distributor shaft. I have also seen a few A distributors with one long shaft that reaches all the way down to the engine drive. I have been told that Ford never did this and that these are aftermarket distributors. I have also heard that the one piece arrangement is really a bad idea because...06-13-2019, 12:29 PM -
If some of you read the "Modified" section you will see I have been having a small problem with a "B" distributor. Well, for a simple solution I carried and installed the Jeep distributor which I won't go into here. But in doing this, I noticed I developed a new noise.
The "B" distributor being a two piece shaft didn't have a problem, installing the single...09-24-2019, 11:31 AM -

While attempting to replace clutch brake shaft bushings I noticed that the shaft was worn. A new shaft came with the bushings however it appears to be to long. I don't see where the original shaft is pinned. I need some guidance on this one. See pics. ...05-08-2020, 08:58 PM -
Good morning. I'm a new member and a fairly new Model A owner. Sorry for the long post, but hoping to figure out how to fix a dumb mistake:
In an attempt to fix the leak from the reverse idler and cluster shafts, I bought one of Bratton's seal kits. The reverse idler shaft was too long to fit into the cover provided, so I followed Bratton's instructions and ground down the end of the...02-28-2018, 09:25 AM -
Are any of you aware of an article or other discussion/video about replacing the early multi part brake cross shaft with the later single piece cross shaft?
. I am going to do this on my car but am not sure the best process to do so, what needs to be removed for access to install the newer piece.09-06-2018, 12:06 PM -
Here is a new one for me, I am working on a 28 motor that hasn't been run in probably 50 or 60 years by the looks of it. Finally got the distributor off after letting mmo soak in from the lock hole ( motor was on side so it worked). Anyway when I pulled it out of the head I discovered that someone had put a copper pipe on the shaft. I would say a farmer fix but then it could have been a city boy that...You do not have permission to view this gallery.

Or, in this case, the long distributor shaft or the two short ones?
I looked up in the 28 to 37 parts book, but the illustrations are very generic. Although, if it was a two piece, then I would think it would be two part numbers.
We have a debate going between several of us in the local club, and I said I would research it. TIA10-26-2018, 12:45 AM -
I have a '30 Sport Coupe with a F150 4 speed OD trans. With the arms to the rear end being shorter because the torque tube is shorter, the parking brake cross shaft lever is right above the arms. If I put some people in the rumble seat and hit a bump, the parking brakes come on tighter with every bump. Has anyone figured how and what to change to keep this from happening. Luckly I have a friend who...09-30-2018, 11:30 PM
