Jim,

You have been pretty stealthy with your restoration which I have been following. Sounds like you are making great progress.

I knew you had impeccable taste. Looks like a ’67 1/2.

Chassis looks like it is coming along nicely.

The owner manual for the 836 lists the lubricant for the rear axle as

“Special Lubricants” obtainable at all authorized Pierce Arrow Service Stations, particularly for the transmission, rear axle and steering gear.”

Of course I am answering this as if it is for a 1933 not Model 33. If it is for a Model 33, forget all of the above.

Bill,

If it is an 836 or a 1236, it will have a worm drive from the factory and have a bronze bull gear. If so, you MUST use a non-sulfur-bearing lubricant (not the typical rear end lube), so the bronze wheel does not get attacked. Not a problem for the 1242 and 1247 which are hypoid.

Restoration Supply Co also has Lubriplate lubricants (below)

I looked it up and there is a Geneva Blue under the Code IM 63.

TCP should be able to convert that to a formula I would think.

Call Art at the link below. I think he can get you the IM code. He is working on ’33 colors for me.

Rick,

I echo Tony’s sentiments. I feel broke just watching, but I am thoroughly enjoying watching you spend your money. Thanks for sharing. I too, would like to know about the apron fabrication. Mine have suffered from serious tinworm attack.

If you have a photo you may be able to use Testors Decal kit. It is available at hobby stores. You may be limited if it is too large.

I notice this car also has the ubiquitous rubber oil line fix. This one is a bit more engineered.

As I progress thru life, I find I require more simplicity and organization.

I put the following identifiers on the three known cars. There are three types of wheels on the cars. Red wire, chrome wire and chrome full disc. The latter is the one that seems most mercurial along with mystery car number 4.

Here is the contact info for Ramsey. They told me a couple years ago they didn’t sell direct, but that might have changed. They made Egge’s chains.

Don’t know about the gears
