    Small world. The work he did for me has held up well and still looks great.

    That sounds like "the going price" with the advantage of being local. I remember using a shop in Philadelphia by the name of Martins years ago. It was a father and son then they split if I remember right. The last I heard the son was still in business.

    My fingers were not fast enough to include "I've "not" had one apart. Here is a link to an old manual for the shocks and how to service and repair them: Haudaille Shock Absorbers / Houdaille 01.jpg It looks there are special tools and lots of parts including seals that are needed.

    It's an arm or lever shock made by Houdaille and mostly used on early Fords and Lincolns. I just took mine off and was going to send them out for rebuilding. Apple Hydraulics in NY does them for about $400 each. I've had one apart so not sure what you would run into. The fluid in mine was about the same as you describe and the one arm didn't move at all.

    Is the bushing hole lined up with the spindle hole?

    After trimming the bad places there was just enough metal left to bend over. Thanks for all the suggestions. Tried to post a picture installed but it would not post.

    I'm going to see how much I can salvage. I think there is enough to make it work.

    You're right. It's such a high casualty item. I checked with a local old time drive line shop and they said they hadn't seen those for years.

    You're right. The thickness of mine is 1/16". The one mentioned must be the washer between the outer bearing and first lock nut. The other thing I thought of would be to dress down and flatten the damaged part and bend over the outer lock nut at a fresh location.

    Thanks for the info. That looks like the one I need. I'm going to get in touch with them tomorrow.

    Correction on the OD 2 1/2"
  13. HarryS
    Anyone know of a source for the locking washer as shown? The axle is a FA 505. The OD of the washer is 2 1/5" and ID is 1 1/4". I don't think this one can stand another bend.

    It's a close race between her, Jazzie and Tim Walz.

    If you are looking to convert to power steering I have a Garrison hydraulic unit that came off of a B model.
