David,

We used to go “parking”” in those orchards until a friend tore out the bottom of a new Mustang on a stump.

Enjoy the Apple Blossom Festival.

Based on my years in Winchester, I know it isn’t there. No Apple trees.

Based on the trees I guess it is in North or South Carolina or Georgia

My customer base includes the trailer industry and I think more trailers are made in GA than any other state.

One of the 8 plants I was in this week was a plant that is owned by Berkshire Hathaway (Warren Buffett’s company). They had a trailer they were building that was 14′ high and had a car lift inside, so you could either put a tall car or 2 lower cars in it, stacked. The lift can be from 13-24′.

I think they will build just about anything you want. I have no interest here, just passing info.

Here are some more Movie Pierces. I am partial to the ’33 coming out of the garage in Rodney Dangerfield’s “Back to School”””

Jim,

Here is a torque chart from American Bolt. It is a start.

Ok, Captain Obvious, I figured it out. It points to the front of the engine. Kind of obvious, but so is the way it is made. I guess Pierce didn’t want anything left for granted. Another mystery in life solved.

Bill,

If you set the search engine to Engine-8 Cylinder Specific-oil pump

There are several articles that may help

You may want to invest on this chart that is on ebay. $10.40 is a pretty good deal.

This one might be better, it’s $8

Reason for the sale may be in the seller’s moniker, 1annoyingwife.

It is back on EBay with a $10,000 starting bid and no reserve. Still sporting the rubber hose.

I am rebuilding my ’33. My guess is the shaft has play in it?

Tom,

Are you missing one or just have a worn out one.

Here is another assembled picture.

Alan, Jak and Jim,

Based on our 2 continent/hemisphere review, they are believed to be Buffalo #5 wheels that would fit cars like Buicks and Overland in the late teens early twentys. Alan has in depth knowledge of these wheels and Jak has provided some distinct details. The numbers, ie 4, 5, 6 relate to the hub cap opening size.

Thanks to every one for their input.

Bill

I made a counting error or my memory has gotten really short. There are 56 spokes in the lower part of the hub for a total of 84.

[Author nameAuthor names are only available to PAS members.]

Pic #4.

The problem we are running into is that the wheel is very narrow for the height (22 x 3??) and the hub opening seems too large for a Pierce.

Discussions have gone from Buffalo, to Houk to Rudge and from Buffalo, NY to London and Europe. Anybody know what they fit?? Any guesses??? Any more info needed??? Oh, it does have a detachable rim band.

I looked for numbers but I haven’t had them in good light.
