I will work on that, Greg. It was very much like the Borg-Warner T-90 used in Jeep products starting in the late 1940s, as far as the shift assembly is concerned.

Our local car club basically exists to put on one local show a year, during the local festival. We rarely get more than 2-3 cars predating WWII. Muscle cars and hot rods predominate.

Wow! That frees up extra cash

For another Pierce-Arrow…

I got it by studying it and by looking at a manual for a later transmission made for Jeeps in the late 1940s.

First, remove the spring inside the shift tower. I sort of unscrewed it in a clockwise direction until the tension was released. Then I removed the two devices on that end of the shift rods, which allowed me to more easily access the pin which holds the freewheel shift mechanism on the end of the actuation rod. After removing this from the shift stem, the stem will push through and out while the freewheel actuation rod is removed toward the top. Now I need to replace the felt seals under the shift stem cap and underneath the shift stem ball.

Hope this helps someone.

Is it the Onan 1814 4913 9040

My line of reasoning: Pierce bought the transmission from Warner; the hand brake lever is mounted on the transmission; the transmission was likely used in other cars; their handbrake parts could be the same. Alas! I guess not…

10-4 thanks

Great advice David and David.

It was mentioned that early Ford V-8s use a very similar mount. I have some of these labeled “1931 Pierce”” but they do not resemble anything on my 1931.I think these are still commercially available in a generic version.”

The rear looks like it might be 1979s velour; easity rectified by Dave Coco!

Question is: can the buyer haul it??

We need to find the folks who made floor mats for Ford in the Model A era. I read the entire interior for a Model A sedan cost Ford less than $5, and that included the rubber mats!

is a link to a site wherein a poster describes the process by which EDM was used to create a new Gulmite wrench. Apparently these fasteners were used on busses and this is the area of interest on this web page.

Perhaps this process could be used to create new Trippe light wrenches? Posted in the hope this helps someone.

Once again I find an obscure subject to spend (some would say: waste) hours researching: the Gulmite tamper-proof fastener. Thanks, everyone!

I got that once also.

Ooooo! I love Cords and would be quite proud of a “static display”!

It is a nice example and I know it will make its next caretaker happy. I rode in her on-tour at Gilmore and at Hershey.

Prayers for Mr. Solano who I met at Hershey when she was on offer.

Dave you should write an article about Pierce memorabilia for one of the Society and/or Museum publications.
