I have lots of tractors. However, it is the grain truck giving me fits. 1958 GMC 370 with the 270 motor.
The speedo quit (cable and speedo good). It really bugs me so I decided to see what's up. I pulled it all apart and called for parts at Jim Carter Classic Trucks. They have never seen what I have. It is a GM trans but does not use the plastic parts to drive the cable off the trans like the Chevys do. It has two steel gears and a twisted shaft of about five inches that goes into the trans. It is that shaft that is broken. I took a picture and emailed it to them and they are pretty baffled. It is one of those "I think I have seen that before but have no idea where to begin looking," thing.
These guys deal in only old GM stuff. The owner has a COE Chev - they know what they are doing. They are mystified.
Anyone know anything about the heavy trans or speedo stuff on these old GMC beasts? Anyone know of someone that does? This has really gotten under my skin and I won't let it win!
