    Here's the pre-modification fitment. My dad didn't have a tailgate when he drove it on the farm, so he welded on the channel iron to put a board across the back.

    I had to do some modifications to get the narrow tailgate I found in a junkyard to fit on my wide bed.

    Haha, I started browsing this guy's videos after watching that episode.

    Found this video of a guy showing how to convert a Chevy 1 wire alternator to 6V positive ground. I converted mine over to 12V, but thought some might like this option in place of the generator.

    Use an ohm meter to check resistance of the primary and secondary windings. There are lots of videos that explain which is which. The same procedure applies for both 12V and 6V. The only difference will be the resistance. I found this link that mentions what the values should be. http://www.farmallcub.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=16903 .

    Mar-K has a lot of information on their website. I used this as a reference when making my bed floor. https://mar-k.com/PDFs/Instructions/Bed_Wood_Dimensions.pdf

    Sorry for the delay. I found a couple of videos I took right after I got it installed. One is at idle. One has it revving up.

    I have Fenton style headers from Langdon. When my uncle had this in the late 80's, he added the stacks. When redoing it, I had to keep them. I kept the pipes separate but added an H pipe. I have an 18" Cherry Bomb on each pipe. I used 2" aluminized tubing and bought some premade mandrel bends to splice in where needed.

    Most speedo cables are generic. I picked one up at O'Riley's--it's just a matter of getting the right length. The cable connected the A833 to the stock speedometer in my '53.

    I used Tom Lagdon's kit for the linkage on the carbs. I used a Chevy gas pedal they used in the 80 on vans and trucks I think. O'Reilly's had a new cable the right length.

    I ordered one from Application Associates in early March and finally got it yesterday. Somebody contacted me from the company early on and said they had a cross-reference to a Fleetguard number. The Fleetguard never showed up, so I don't know if it was a match or not.

    I have Statefarm and was able to add mine and get their "antique" rate. As far as towing coverage, that may depend on your state--the insurance of the tower should cover the trailer and contents. The towee vehicle should be covered by it's own insurance.

    Thanks. That's a different motor setup, but it shows the orientation of the pivot arms facing opposite directions from each other. Those on the motor face forwards, and the ones on the blades face backwards.

    My lack of pictures during disassembly five years ago is biting me again. My '53 B4C has a single wiper motor in the center that runs both arms. Do the pivot arms on the motor point to the front or back of the vehicle? The picture in the manual doesn't clarify much in this regard. I've tried both directions and and seemingly every combination of left, right, up, down on the linkage arms and can't seem to find the happy spot. I've tore apart and cleaned up the inside and replaced the wiring since this picture.

    Mine were stuck as well and wouldn't budge no matter how much I beat on them. I finally removed the axle and used a 12 ton hydraulic shop press to get them out.

    With the floor boards and the steering column out, the brake pedal should slide right over. I had to take my engine out with the pedals still attached since my dad and his buddy couldn't find the retainer bracket, so they welded the clutch pedal to the shaft. Can't blame him too much--that fix worked for 30 years until I wanted to disassemble it. Here's mine right after reinstallation. I remember having to take out the steering column after this to remove the pedals later for some reason or another.

    That's a nice looking bed! The ash will definitely be more durable than my cedar. This is the first time I've used tung oil but really like how it turned out. My wood working buddy that helped me plane it down suggested it.

    Odd, it shows up on this end. Here's a smaller version that hopefully loads.

    I just finished redoing my bed floor over the weekend. Just in time for the Salina show to be cancelled. This is cedar I got from a local Amish saw mill. It was rough cut 1 by, so had a buddy help me finish to the correct size. Then I finished with about 5 coats of tung oil finish. New unfinished steel strips that I coated with matte clear spray paint. One thing to note for the front left frame mount. There's a tab attached to the frame and a hole in the frame. Do not use the one in the frame--use the tab even though it's offset and not in line with the others. Otherwise you'll discover that the fuel tank, brake lines, and rivets are in the way of the bolt and you'll have to redrill and make a plug instead of installing....

    Ok, I appologize. My memory was foggier than I thought. I did NOT reuse the stock slotted piece. I originally tried to because I couldn't find the clamp he provided. Once I found the clamp Langdon sent in the distributor box, things made more sense. Here's a picture with the set bolt out and the distributor partially removed.
  21. nkeiser
    I remember being frustrated with the instructions as well and being happy when I finally looked at the old one and found the missing piece. I couldn't find any saved pictures, and it's been over a year so the memory is a little foggy. I'l see if I can get a picture in the morning.
  22. nkeiser
    The clamp he provides only adjusts the height. You need to reuse the slotted piece from the stock distributor to adjust and lock the timing.

    Speedometer cables don't appear to have changed in design over the years. The cable that came on my 53 was a little rough and wasn't long enough to reach the port on the A833 swap. I used a piece of wire to get an approximate length then got a generic speedo cable from O'Reilly's. It screwed right into the 833 and to the stock speedometer. Surprisingly, it's only off by 5 mph.

    Here's the best picture I could find of my setup. Dual 32 DFTs on an Offenhauser with air filters and linkage from Langdon.

    Autometer with a custom aluminum plate mounting plate. Surprisingly the original speedometer worked, so it was reused.
