I was about to ask you if you thought the scene with your car was cut, cause I could not find it either.
disappointing it was cut. ![]()

Thursday 21st November 2013
After a morning visiting the grandkids arrived home to receive a call from Wade.....he was at the workshop! Arriving there found Wade with 2 disassembled fuel/vacuum pumps. The inoperative one from Amelia, there's an electric pump installed, and another I'd bought off eBay on Ross's behalf. Wades plan was to use the best of both pumps for the rebuild. But first we pulled the top off the trans section of the R9 OD trans I'd bought last month which, from a cursory inspection, looks OK. Plan there is that Wade will disassemble the whole unit at his leisure, present me with a list of requirements which, once met, will be followed by reassembly and eventually swapping with the current unit in the Coupe. But back to the pumps. While I cleaned parts in the blaster, wire wheel or just with cleaner, Wade was supplying me with further parts for cleaning and also reassembling a pump with the rebuild kit procured for that purpose. And the parts left over which are almost as good as the ones rebuilt will, I'm sure, also be rebuilt so that there's a spare pump "on the shelf". Upshot is that the rebuilt pump can now be sent to the guy who has rebuilt the supposedly rebuilt engine in Amelia. The now properly rebuilt engine will be run and tested before being shipped to Wade for reuniting with Amelia. On another note, Wade and PeterL attended the Bendigo Swap Meet this past weekend. This resulted in a phone call from Wade on Saturday asking what a P/N #446095 Crown Wheel fitted? From the top of my head I advised a 50's Packard. But subsequent investigation of the 48-54 Parts List in the Literature and Manuals section on site couldn't confirm that. Instead in Group 12.005 there is a listing of Crown Wheel and Pinion sets which carry P/N's like 60xxxx! Sighting the pinion and crown wheel today which are marked 446094-10-41 Packard 8 53 and 446095-41-10 Packard 12 9 51 respectively. Interesting the differences in dates between the crown wheel and pinion but I'm more interested to learn if there's a source available to be able to translate the #446xxx numbers to the #60xxxx numbers! And a big round of ![]() Attach file: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Hi Mal, I don't think there is any way to match the 446xxx numbers with the numbers for the gear sets which were supplied as a matched pair. The individual numbers were likely used to identify the gears in the manufacturing process before becoming a set after final grinding.

Thanks Brian, I suspected as much. But thought I'd put it out there nonetheless.

Tuesday 7th January 2014
A New Year, with Wade at the workshop today gathering up parts, equipment and stuff to be transported north to continue outfitting his Shed. Lent a hand to disassemble part of the old sheet metal shelving that stands against the far wall. All the stuff formerly occupying that shelving has itself already made the journey north but is presently occupying floor space in the Shed. Besides the shelving, a 320 head, exhaust manifold, starter and generator were also going. As well as some sundries and a bar fridge. After all, what would a shed be without a fridge? Also going, but not loaded by the time I left, was a trunk and running board matting for The Fossil, with these having gathered quite a layer of dust over the years. And speaking of The Fossil, Wade tells me that, when it too goes north, it's likely to occupy a space in the main garage attached to the house. Apparently there's little chance of it getting into the Shed with a few other vehicles already ensconced. But to fit it in the garage the front bumper will need to be removed!

Monday 13th January 2014
An auspicious occasion today, I visited Wade's NEW Workshop near the shores of Lake Macquarie! Although Wade has been ensconced there since the middle of 2013 I hadn't yet made the pilgrimage to what will surely become a Packard sacred site. All that changed because I had an ulterior motive, not just to visit Wade and Gina but also to get Wade to run a hand and eye over the Coupe which was due for it's annual roadworthiness inspection check. No need to worry except for a blown tail/stop light bulb as well as a bad connection to that light, easily fixed. The other thing attended to was the drivers door arm rest which wanted to seperate itself from its fixings. A pair of bigger screws and it was back where it belonged. Besides enjoying the hospitality of Wade and Gina, with homemade pizzas for lunch(delicious) also had the opportunity to catch up with another PACA member and good mate of Wade's, PeterL, who literally lives just a stones throw away. Saw Peter's latest acquisition, his Hardtop '56 Buick Roadmaster as well as his FX Holden Sedan and '38 120 Sedan(although that was under a cover). A thoroughly enjoyable day with the Coupe running well on the 130 mile round trip. Sat on an indicated 60mph on the Freeway but, factoring speedo error in, it's more like 55mph. It would have been faster if the OD was right but fixing that is some way in the future. Attach file: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Tuesday 14th January 2014
A trip today with Noel to pick up the load of Packard parts that had finally arrived from the US. Included were a steering column and box for my Coupe and a footrest also for my Coupe, the inner fender panels and radiator splash guard Noel had purchased from PackardInfo member Saltydog, Greg, see this thread a couple of months ago. There were also some '37 Super 8 suspension and steering parts for Wade and Peter Packard to sort out between them as to who gets what. Met Noel at the 'old' workshop and headed off to the wilds of semi rural western Sydney to the Bond Store they had been unloaded at. Didn't take long to load, about 10 minutes for the large coffin that's what the box looked like, for the box to be loaded in the back of the ute. But probably took longer for it to be secured for the journey! Back at the workshop Noel unloaded his parts with which he is well pleased, just what he wanted! ![]() I also took ownership of my parts while the remainder were left for Wade to sort through on his next visit back to the big smoke. And earlier in the day, the Coupe passed it's registration check with flying colours! ![]() Attach file: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Yea, and verily, so it came to pass. Work resumed in the workshop! But wait, I'd better not get too excited, it was only me cleaning parts. Background is that Wade was in Sydney today for an appointment and alerted me that he was bringing down the trans case, OD adaptor and the OD case so they could be cleaned up. He'd taken the trans and OD apart on the bench and found a number of problem areas to be addressed, namely some of the bearings and the layshaft(think you call it the countershaft, anyway it's the shaft down the middle of the cluster). During the course of his Sydney visit Wade found time to call into ABC Bearings and sourced 2 of the three bearings required. The other required is the double row bearing in the OD which from the Parts List is Group 3.447, described as BEARING, Unit main shaft, Part Number 347572. That part number is for 17th, 18th & 19th Series. But because the replacement OD is from a Post War Packard I was hopeful it's use continued unchanged. Was able to verify that in Max's catalogue, the same part number was used till '49, phew. The layshaft is Group 3.214 COUNTERSHAFT, Transmission Part Number 333572. Fits 39 to 54 per Max! Currently about halfway through the cleaning part. In addition to which, I've also been tasked with blasting some waterpump parts for a rebuild for a spare for RobT from South Australia. Will be back at the workshop tomorrow. Woohoo!
