Re: Digging deaper into my Gearmatic 8a winch - includes pictures
Hey Paul! After reading thru this old post I remembered about that 2 part metal epoxy we used on the spider. I had to readjust the clutch bolts late last fall and the epoxy was still holding up strong and no cracks!

Re: Gearmatic 8a
Unfortunately I only have a leftover spider casting that I want to keep. There’s parts out there, I had to buy 2 winch’s to make 1 working winch.... check out the parts for a modern gearmatic winch. I found that there are parts that are used off of the 8a that are still used on modern winches. Check...

Re: Gearmatic 8a
Are you missing one or is it broken? It can be welded but it has to cool slowly by covering the casting completely in a bucket of sand after it’s welded. I think I preheated my casting first with a rosebud torch. I have a few parts leftover I’ll take a look if I have one.

Re: Cutting Edge
I also messaged with him but that had to be close to a year ago and that looks like when he was last active on here. I hope all is well with him and he see these posts in good health.

Re: 5 speed transmission,ring and pinion,tranny casting for sale
It’s time to clean out the garage and I still have this transmission sitting around. I’m open to any reasonable offers before it goes to the scrap yard. Located in zip code 15963. You can pickup or I can get a freight shipping cost if someone is seriously interested. Everything in the pictures is in...

Re: Gearmatic 8a
I was able to remove my plug using a torch with a rosebud tip, some heat makes a big difference. I think I also used some 1/2” flat plate to make a large screwdriver to turn the nut out with a large pipe wrench to turn the plate.

Re: Gearmatic 8a
If Lavoy doesn’t have the parts you need, I have a list of parts I used to completely rebuild my 8a winch and controller. I also have a manual available to email. I also have posted rebuild pics of the winch here. Just search my my name.

Re: 420c 5 roller undercarriage specifications
I use to sell undercarriage wear gauges for the 420 but I am all sold out. Regardless it sounds like you will need new rollers. The only option is to buy new 350 rollers or find some used ones off of a 420,430,1010 or 2010.

Re: Any early 1929-30 model a experts out there?
Thanks for your info Andrew, much appreciated! Here is what I am looking to build. The only items really needed from the A is the body, Everything else is from semi modern vehicles and a lot of custom fabrication, which is right up my alley! https://oi1160.photobucket.com/albums/q488/terramiteowner/...
