Re: SOLD: Stromberg LF - really cheap ZOOM
My LF was in great shape. Just needed a cleaning. Doesn’t start had easy as the G did, but pulls way stronger. I don’t have the Stromberg remote choke set up for it yet. Cory Walker did my G. Maybe he would give the LF a try.

Re: Hub and tire alignment
Ill switch the top one and see if they match.
Just looked again. Only can be assembled one way. Both rims and hubs look to be original to the car. After 105 years who can be sure.

Hub and tire alignment
I assembled my hubs back on the wheels the way they came off. On one, the outside of the hub is aligned with the edge of the tire with a straight edge. The other a 1/2” away. Should I switch the hub around? Which one?

Re: Painting springs
If I don’t have the right spring bolt, can I installed it thread up so it goes through the hole in the pad and frame?

Could only find 26-40-7 from any local venders. Found these on eBay. They are discontinued. If they work I’ll find another set to have on hand.

The fiber washers I received were .080. I had an older brass one that was .095. This forum has been great. Just looked up how to safety wire the ring gear.

Pinion Bearing question

Re: WTB rear axle
WTB from anywhere.
I mostly need left and right differential housings. Thrust washer pins were sheared off and ground down the housings and axle holes are very worn.

WTB rear axle
I’m in need of a good rebuildable rear axle assembly or one that is already rebuilt for my small drum 15. I’m in Western Ma. So within 200 miles preferred. I mostly need left and right differential housings. Thrust washer pins were sheared off and ground down the housings and axle holes are very worn.
