    Ok so i put alittle penatrating oil down the spark plug wholes and a good amount of marvel oil and letting it set. I went to take the starter out so I could clean it up but have no idea on how to get the inside bolt off. Any suggestions?

    Just started to work on my 48 b1b pilot house. First thing i wanted to do is to see if i can get the engine to turn over. So i hooked up jumper cable to the starter with a 12v battery and starter spun. Then went to manuel crank the motor in the front but didnt have the key to do so. So i removed the front clip to get to the front of the motor. I had to take a big digging bar to spin the motor. got it free, went around a bunch of times. Went back to the jumpers connected to the 12v bat and neg to frame and pos to the starter pos pole. it cranks but very slowly. not sure what to do next. Also the man that gave it to me said the motor was rebuilt about a year before he parked it. Thanks for any help you can gave me. Joe

    thanks for the replys. im thinking of using the truck as a everday driver. im a landscaper so thinking of using the truck to go see jobs to leave a lasting impression. who is going to forget the guy that pulled up driving a pilot house! with that said im not thinking of restoring it as much as making it road reliable. so i want to use the newest chassis i can? thanks

    Hi Arthur,

    I hope things are going well for you.

    I managed to get a brake drum from Wayfarerstranger. I bought some other things from him, a window crank and cover was in reasonable condition, a turn signal kit was just me giving him my money. He said it was $30 for a new kit and my price was $50 CDN...so I asked him to get one for me. He sent me something that was not even complete, let alone new. Chance said he was sorry for the mixup and offered to have me send back this one, send him $29 more and pick up shipping of the new one. Long story short, I bought a new one here and lost the $30US and shipping of that. It just put a bad taste in my mouth dealing with him.

    Anyway, Arthur, I was at the mechanic's today and he showed me the emergency brake drum. It looked like an ice cream cone with the edges bitten all around. Strange, but true. Do you happen to have one? This is for a 48 D24 4-door Sedan.

    Please let me know and thanks for listening.

    Rick
