VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1929-1932 Job No. 30551

I think it was JYD that asked what the job #
is on my 1930 so as to tell me what she is.
Job # 30551 , sr# 30966.
How many grease cups should this car have ?
I have only found 1 it is on the disttributor.
I know where the one for the water pump will go.
Where do I get the adapter for grease fittings?

There may be some more cups on the rear axle close to the brake backing plates, for the rear axle bearings, that is where I found a couple on my 28 and you can get the Alimite to regular modern grease gun adaptor from Gary Wallace in Missouri ( he is on line) and maybe from The Filling Station. Do you have a shop manual for your car? The Filling Station (catalog on line) has those too, they show the places to lube on your car.

I see them in the book but they have been removed from my car. Should the be the same size as the cup on the water pump?

Job Number 30551 is a 1930 Coach. There are four grease cups on your car. One on the distributor, one on the water pump and two on the back of the rear axle for the wheel bearings. There are also three flippy top oilers on your car as well. One on the starter and two on the generator. Your throwout bearing may have a flippy oiler also depending upon which throwout bearing you have.

Thanks for the reply ... I had found 1 fiptop
oiler on the generator will look again for the
other. I did not know to look for the one on the T O B.
Is this coach the Universal Series AD Coach?
do you call it a 2 door " " " "
Thanks Again...

Yes, your car is a 1930 Universal series AD Coach. It is not called a 2 door.

On the flippy oilers for the generator. There is one on the front of the generator and there is one on the back as well.

Yeah, back then Chevrolet called a 2 door sedan a coach and a 4 door sedan a sedan, I am really glad to get to straighten out that little problem,....... or did I? :confused: :rolleyes: :p

Not if you are from Texas! :eek: :eek: :confused: :confused: :confused:

You Guys are great!! Thanks.. The flip oiler on the front of the generator was hidden by the wire but with your help I found it. I put a grease cup on the water pump and the only grease I could find said Ford water pump grease. I hid the label so she would not be insulted.
My grease fittings must have been changed out at some point because my regular grease gun fit all the fittings.
I rebuild the fuel pump and made a temporary tank. She started up and I drove 4 miles to a car wash where I washed that diesel fuel off her under side. ( That may have helped loosen the dirt but diesel fuel smell quickly drifted up from my basement garage to the house and my wife has been upset for a week ). Oh well some of the mud is off and MOST of the smell is gone.
But WOW I drove her 8 miles round trip. Oil pressure was between about 8 lb and 12 lb.. JYD had said I may need to clean out the oil pump what do you think now?
Back to the body work. Thanks again. I DROVE IT !!! I DROVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!! And EVERYONE HAD SAID SHE COULD NOT CLIMB MY STEEP DRIVE WAY . She may could do it in 2nd.......

If your oil pressure is between 8 and 12 pounds hot, then that should be fine. Sounds like you have your bases covered and that you are having fun. That's what it is all about!

Arn't those old long stroke 6's something else, all that low RPM torque! I really like to go up a grade in high around 35 and watch all the rice rockets downshift, downshift, downshift whine, whine, hum whine!

Gotta Luv' it!
