Peter,

That was back in the day you worried if you got the mineral rights with your land purchase. I don’t think they came with my condo.

There must have been a very good Pierce Salesman in the area as I also found the following

Chassis 808627 Engine 808665 which looks to be a ’26 Series 80

It was owned by Harry Houser, 239 W. Mahanoy Street, Mahanoy, PA.

It was registered in 31 and 32.

So there were 3 PA in this little town at about the same time.

INVAR , KNOWN AS 64FENi. As a steel guy, that is pretty exotic stuff.

James,

I think Invar is a trade name for Unobtainium.

John,

I posted before googling as I was sure I would only get the President of South Africa, an American singer named Ricky or a Brazilian Formula 1 driver. And Bohnalite?? I will try and reframe from answering my own questions in the future. Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukkah.

Well I answered my own question

From Wikipedia

Nelson-Bohnalite was the name of a piston developed by Adolph Lincoln Nelson in the 1930s and 1940s. The pistons were licensed to Bohn Aluminum and sold to all the major auto manufacturers at the time. These were some of the first pistons to use an aluminum body with a steel strut, allowing for the weight of aluminum and the strength of steel where the piston moves on the piston rod. Many then existing brands of autos used this type of piston in the mid-1930s: Auburn, Graham, Hupmobile, Nash, Packard, Pierce-Arrow and Studebaker. (from Motors Handbook, 14th edition, 1937)

To avoid breaking any more rings, I have resorted to soaking the pistons in either Kroil or a mix of transmission fluid and acetone.

Just find a cup/can that the piston will fit in and put it in the fluid (top first). Make sure the fluid covers the rings, and leave it for a couple weeks.

The spring tension in the rings will pop them out once the fluid does its work. If they won’t come out then they are either broken or need some heat possibly

Ed,

If someone has a parts book, you could look up the numbers and see if they are the same or different.

Bill,

Is the rear drive a Timken? You can flip the worm gear on the car ones.

That worked. Needed to take some off the side of the head though.

Thanks and happy Thanksgiving everyone.
