Dear George and David,
You mentioned that you were looking for 600W oil. There is an antique parts store near me that specializes in Model A parts called Bratton’s. They sell a 600 W oil (http://www.brattons.com/600-w-oil-for-rear-axle-steering-or-transmission.html). Is this what you are looking for?
Robert
P.S. The active link does not seem to go to the 600W oil, only their home page, so I put in the text and as an active link.

Dear George,
Thank you for information. This 1930’s Chevrolet informational video is the best explanation I have have seen for how differentials work including a hypoid differential (differentials for dummies (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4JhruinbWc) To follow-up, can you recommend a specific GL-4 oil that I should use?
Robert
I like the discussion, but I concur with Anthony regarding his confusion and his excellent synopsis. I would like to know the bottom line for the specific oil I should use in the rear differential for my ’29 roadster? (a website for the specific oil to buy would be great!)
Robert
First I want to thank David Coco. While he did not deliver on the “good’ weather, he made sure we had weather and was a great help to me. In addition, David was always ready with a good story to tell. I would also like to thank everyone who joined us. I appreciate the support from my fellow PAS members. This was my first time arranging a Pierce tour (or any tour for that matter). While it was a small step, it allowed me to get “my feet wet” (literally and figuratively).
As I keep saying, I don’t know of a nicer group of people than those in the Pierce Arrow Society.
Regards,
Robert
“That Very Yellow Pierce-Arrow just needs very black fenders, very black side-mounts and a very black trunk to bring it to perfection.”
That would make it a very large bumble bee!
I just checked, this very YELLOW Pierce went for a very GREEN $200,750!
Robert
Interesting thought.
Link also failed for me. Looking at the link, I wonder if you need to be using xfinity (i don’t).

Did this car sell at auction?
Robert
Mine arrived yesterday. Thank you again Peter and Optima Jim.
Robert
I just ordered my batteries. I also had difficulty trying to order three at one time and got the same error message as noted above. So I listened to Peter’s sage advice and “made three the hard way”” and all seemed to go well and received two email receipts.
Thank you again Peter!
Robert”
Dear Bill,
Funny I just saw this car while surfing the web today. That is a VERY YELLOW car! It is hard to miss!
Robert
I have been using the 6V CTEK charger. The 12V version was recommend by a friend. I have been very happy with it and have not had any issues.

Ed, My feeling has always been “it is never enough!” However, there are moments, like when drinking, that you realize you have had a few too many and need to slow down!
Great video. George’s enthusiasm comes through loud and clear! It is wonderful to hear how much you enjoying driving this car.
Robert
Peter,
Thank you! Bought one two years ago and really like it. I have been hoping you would be able to pull it off again so I can get more.
Appreciate your efforts,
Robert
David, I couldn’t agree more and I will quote you forevermore “having just one seems wrong somehow…..””
Robert”
I second Craig’s comment and could not agree more. I always agree with Ed
Robert
Dear Peter,
Thanks for the information. This is an interesting State that I now live in. You are correct that Maryland was part of the Union. However, after I moved to here, I learned it was part of the Union because President Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus, declared martial law in Maryland, and arrested 12 members of the General Assembly to prevent them from taking a vote on secession!
I remain proud of being produced (at a later date) in the same city as our Pierce Arrows!
Robert
David, I am from the north (but currently live south of the Mason-Dixon line). While I got the gist of the reference, I wanted to know the exact definition of ‘high cotton’.
Wikipedia: The term “high cotton” or “tall cotton” originates from the rural farming community in the antebellum (pre-Civil War) South when “high cotton” meant that the crops were good and the prices, were, too. The term has generalized to mean one is doing well or is successful.
