1958 F.W.D. Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Posting this for my father:A friend who does not do computers at all but does do antique busses (especially school busses) and one fire truck is looking for a part. His fire truck is built on a 1946 Brockway chassis. It has a 42BX Continental gas engine and a 5-speed Fuller transmission 5A3305P. He is unable to identify the clutch make and model. He needs a clutch fork. The fork has the number "2772" cast into it. My guess is that the fork is also a vendor part and not unique to Brockway. Any out there?

Green Dash Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 This might be a silly question but that's never stopped me in the past: Did you post this on the Brockway site? Like BMT, it's hard to stump those guys.http://www.brockwaytrucks.org/messageboard/ Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hatcity Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 did some research on this. Appears to be a Lipe-Brown part # 1 Quote Success is only a stones throw away.................................................................for a Palestinian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 FWDYes the Mack Museum has a lot of the Brockway build records. Usual proceedure..Lipe sounds right. They were from Syracuse NY and Brockway used a lot of them. 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1958 F.W.D. Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 OK thanks fellas, with your help we are 99% sure it's a Lipe Brown clutch, however they were bought out by someone.....Was it Fuller? Does anyone happen to know??? Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1958 F.W.D. Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 According to wikipedia (about as trustworthy as a truck driver CB story- but the Wikipedia link did cite multiple credible sources in the bibliography) Lipe was swallowed up by Emerson Electric (Emerson Industrial Automation) and several clues lead me to believe it was to get the Rollway line of bearings. I have sent their customer support folks an email. Not holding my breath. In the meantime anyone have a 2772 fork laying around?

oldspwr Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Hi Sam...I found the clutch fork you need. You can PM me for more info. I tried sending you an email through the Brockway message board, not sure if it went through.Tom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY-B61 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 For future needs, has been in business 60+ years, miles of dusty aisles of NOS clutch and fork parts still wrapped, complete NOS heavy truck clutch assemblies spanning 60+ years AND, best of all, capable of rebuilding to factory-new condition any heavy duty truck clutch. Some of the shop machinery is over 80 years old.This isn't an advertisement. I've had two unusual and obsolete heavy clutches rebuilt there for very fair prices with meticulous workmanship.www.buffaloclutch.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
