Re: Young First Time Driver Tips?

The old gentleman that taught me to drive aT, back in 1962, preached—-don’t slip the bands. Push the pedal down quickly, get her moving and hold it tight. I still have those bands in the automobile 60 years later.

Re: Flywheel

The transmission shaft goes through from the front (magnet side) of the flywheel. How in the cornbread he!!— that’s when one gets a bit of cornbread stuck in their wind pipe and start’s coughing— can you remove the transmission from the flywheel without disassembling the transmission?

You guys are right as rain. The serial number is a March 1916 not 15 I guess at some point in the past someone tried pull one over. I sure stand corrected. That’s the reason the 5 look’s funky.

One problem you might in counter is corrosion between brass tab and bolt, preventing continuity. I’ve always removed, cleaned and solder the connections. Being careful not to get the tabs too hot.

I well remember my mother telling of living in New Mexico mountains as a child and her father cutting a tree at the top a steep grade chaining to the car, using it to slow descent. The ranch house was in the valley and the trees were later used for firewood. A different time in the world.
