Reply To: Sticky Blue Grease in 1908 Transmission?

[Bill Marsh]

Looks like it might be difficult to remove the transmission, Scott. I like your idea of scooping, vacuuming and rinsing with kerosene. Thin oil. Drive a while and drain. Repeat. Thank you again for your sage advice.

I think that my Pierce was owned by David Greenlee. I bought it from Jeff Chattin here in Georgia. He bought it at Hershey in Sotheby Auction. Seemed to be a good price. The engine has been redone, aluminum pistons. Also wheel bearings and brakes, new leather cone clutch, some other things. It runs and drives beautifully.

I would love to have copies of any pictures and anything regarding the 48-B. A PA authority thinks that it is really a 5p since the rear seat is quite more narrow than the usual. The rear fenders are much wider. As you know it has an FR Wood & Son body.
