William, the frame tag is reproduced and that number should be put there. Any trophy shop should be able to do it for you if you purchase the car. Karl

Dave,

You should have a washer with bendable tabs behind the nut. When tight, you bend the tab against the flat of the nut.

Dave, Are you talking about the short arm off the steering box? That has a tapered shaft, so tight plus what it takes to get to the next hole for the cotter pin. I think there is 2 locations on the output shaft, so you should not have to go far when tight to find the next hole, after 50 miles go under and recheck for play, none found it should be good. Karl

Just 3 weeks until touring begins in PA. Your meet committee is working hard to show you our little piece of the world. See you all soon. Karl

Adam,

don’t give up yet…

John Cislak has made the rings for 29 and up cars.

The PAF has some for sale also. Give Dave Stevens of John Wosney a call, I am not sure which one of them has the inventory.

With six screws holding to the fender you should be able to screw and j b weld it if you have to do that to get it here. The old hot glue gun could be used to Fill the inner edge so you can play for now.

We are all looking forward to play in a few weeks!!!

Adam, sounds good. See you soon, Karl

Adam,

Take a mirror and check the front bracket for 8 holes in the bearing bracket. 4 extra,4 holding the support bracket to the block, if using the  upper 4, move it down, this may be the ticket. Over the years, more cars are towed back to the hotel for fan troubles than anything else. Too tight is never good, I would put up with a belt bounce before too tight.

Adam,

I just checked the book. The short number is the correct belt by the book.  There are times you have to remove the fan, put the belts on the pully then reinstall the 4 bolts that go into the block. Some also have a second set of holes to add distance for mounting the fan higher. this could also be why they don’t fit.

Dayco makes a 54.5 and a 55.5 belt, but does not show a 55in. in the catalog. The new book has gone metric so those numbers are now 15A-1385 and 15A1410.

Adam,

The 3550 belt should decode that it is  # 3 wide ( now 5/8 or 1/2 inch wide on top?) ( measure the old one)  and 55.0 inches long measured on the front of the belt. the back of any belt catalog should match a belt. I always go to the “green stripe” section as they do not have the cogs. I will look at my Dayco book this morning and get back if you still need numbers.

The wrong belts you got would de-code to Tractor size 22 wide, 53.4 inches long which is why they are short by 1 1/2 inches.. in that catalog you would need a TR22550 if they make one or within a 1/4 inch of it. TR22553, TR22548 etc.

Rob and Robert: Flip a coin, loser buys the 19 inch wire wheels, lock rings and brake drums John Cislack has for sale, then the winner can buy the new “EXTRA” wood rims from the other guy…. (they call it plan B”) I wish I could help both of you, but I don’t have any in stock. Karl

Friday’s tour includes a look at one of the rarest Ford Model AA Trucks! A stand to drive milk truck. One of 4 left, and our host owns two! Join the fun today and register for the 63rd Annual Meet

Jack, my guess is it was nickel plated, then all the lower background areas filled with black to make the edge and lettering quite bold, your bumpers front and rear would look great chrome or black with nickel plated end caps if you don’t wanna plate the whole bumper. Being being a 1928, is all your other exterior plating chrome or nickel? Karl

The  63rd Annual Meet is just under 100 days away!

Yes, the Meet is going to be held, and we will have it in the safest way we can using CDC and PA guidelines. We will continue to plan all events to be the same as 2020. If something is still closed, we have a back up plan. You can still come to PA and enjoy 3 days of touring in your Pierce-Arrow. Contact me if you have any questions or concerns about the meet.

Thank you to all who have booked rooms and registered so far!

Don’t forget to order a poster and one of our banners

When enlarged, it has spring loaded hood hold downs, first used in 1925, this Model would be without change  until 1928.  So my best guess is an XA or XB 5-7 ton from 25-27

Paul, the rear are a double bar with connecting caps. Karl
