Piston expanders or piston ring expanders?

I assume your 1947 D-24 is a fluid drive car. Why do you use 1st gear and why do you use the clutch? In my D-24 fluid drive car I back out of the garage and use the clutch to shift to 2nd gear. That is the last time I use the clutch. I easily accelerate from a dead stop in 2nd gear without using the clutch. When it is time to shift to 3rd gear I drop the lever to neutral and put a slight downward pressure on the shift lever and it slips into 3rd without grinding. When I come to a stop light I move the shift lever to neutral and put a slight pressure upward to the 2nd gear and when the slow down speed is correct it pops into 2nd gear without grinding and without using the clutch. I hold the brake until the light turns green then hit the gas and repeat the above procedure.

This is the recommended clutch people.

Others here have had good results Pushing 12 volts through 6 volt starter. I did not. What I discovered was not only does the starter motor spin at twice the speed but the engagement gear also engages at twice the speed into the starter ring gear jamming and locking in to the flywheel ring gear. I went to a 12 volt starter motor and had no more issues. Your solder melt down may have come from extended starter motor run time. I always use short 4-7 second blasts with a 10-12 second cool down time between.

Truthfully?

No resistor required when running a 6 volt battery.

Turn the dam key off Frank! The guy who bought my P-15 lives near you in Mingo, Ohio. His forum handle is hotrodtractor.

Is your radiator vented on the top as pictured below?

We do cubic inches here. I have no idea what a 3.9 is.

I bought a replacement switch as pictured with cover.

No cover

The pilot bushing in the end of the crankshaft supports the engine end of the transmission input shaft.

This is what I had to do to my oil pan.

Your choice, your tape measure.

I am also unfamiliar with this linkage so I cannot offer any assistance.
