Very Early 1927 Model A Ford Hand Crank With “ford” Script: on 2040-parts.com
Keller, Texas, United States
|
You are probably already familiar with the following details pertaining to very early Model A hand cranks. However, just in case, I am providing information from my “Model A Judging Standards” book. This OEM factory supplied tool was used for cranking the engine and also used as a lug wrench for the wheels. This lug wrench fits the early Model A lug nuts which were 11/16”. It will not fit lug nuts on Model A's made from about Aug 1928 and later, as lug nuts for these cars were 13/16”. This hand crank has a “FORD” script and as indicated in the Judging Standards, 1927 is the only year that had this script. It is located on the center member on the side facing the wheel when used as a lug wrench, ¾ the distance from the lug wrench shaft to the cranking shaft. The crank has an 8” throw and the two lugs that engage the engine pulley nut are oriented at 90 degrees with respect to the center member. These two details are also stated as correct in the Judging Standards for 1927. The correct finish for this crank would be cadmium plated. It has, however, been painted black. The paint has been worn off due to some use as an engine crank, but there is no metal wear in this region. There is some pitting which is fairly uniform on the entire surface. The outside diameter for the 11/16” lug is 1 1/8” . The Judging Standards list both 1” and 1 1/8” as being correct for 1927. Shipping is within the continental 48 states only. Thanks for looking. |

Saleen S351 Mustang being prepped
Fri, 07 Dec 2012After a tumultuous and sometimes litigious couple of years (which included Steve Saleen the man suing Saleen the company for calling itself Saleen!), Saleen the man, the car and the company with the man again in the driver's seat are back, still in Southern California and still in the bustling Inland Empire burg of Corona to which they all ensconced a few years ago. So what's new? First up is a Saleen 351 Mustang, which was announced at the LA auto show last week.
