Glenn and Dave, Just out of curiosity, where was this jewel found? I think Glenn deserves all the compliments for this undertaking and I add mine. And I thought I had a passion for orange iron had been badly abused. Bob@allisdowneast

Bob,
 
It was in the woods in southeast New Hampshire.
It originally came from Massachusetts.
 
I found out about it years ago in one of my many conversations about pintle hitches. At the time the owner told me about it, he did not want to sell. It was represented to be a matching block and transmission, and complete with all the unique parts for a super early B. I never got pictures, I just took it on faith. Last year, I got word it would be sold and I was first on the list.
 
Imagine, lucky me, I guess that made me the "winner".... LOL
 
Anyway, my trip to the New England area was all paid for, so it cost me nothing to drag the trailer along. I hesitated at bringing it back, after I saw what it really was. But, in the end, the price came down to the absolute maximum I would have paid for a transmission with a real low number and a '38 front end with the original wedge bolts.
 
Yep, I guess that makes me the winner....

Glen, with a little time I may be able to round up most of what you need. I have an early 38 block somewhere out back, wheel clamps are easy, torque tube and finals are easy.

I have a real nice set of rear rims; all restored in fact, but they are for my B450 project- sorry. I spent a few years rounding up those rims so that may be your toughest find. If I'm not mistaken Ray O'Neil still has one of those rims. Ray is where I got one of mine. I know where there is another sitting on a shelf. I gave it to the guy several years ago but he's not interested in parting with it now.   The good news is you can complete the restoration and run it with newer rears until you can come up with the correct ones then switch them out.

Brad,
 
I saw some nice rims already that are very close by, but I have to talk to the guy they are promised to. I'm looking for a good block with the -9 suffix. I have a good -10 one already, and Gary said I could have his -9 that was cracked, so worst case, I have one that I could get repaired.
 
I guess I am going to have to get some handbrake levers made up, unless you know where there is an extra set of ones threaded at the top for the plastic knobs...
 
I pretty much have everything else I need around, I just need to go "state hopping" to pick stuff from some of my stashed parts tractors.
 
Send me a PM if you do have a good -9 block, or the handbrakes..
 
Thanks,
 
Glenn

Great news on the rear rims. I have a few sets of handbrakes but not sure if I have usable duplicates of the plastic knob type. I'm also not sure if the plastic knob handles were threaded of friction? Memory says friction, but in either case making them from the later type should be easy. I'll look for a block.

Odds are high that AC used stock knobs from a knob maker and that those knobs are still being made. Look at McMaster-Carr for them.

Glenn, If you need some brake levers turned, could you use a later brake lever and thread it or turn for a press fit? If so, I could machine some for you. Any ideas how long these were used? Were they used on the 37's?  Charlie
