Helped a farmer clean out a barn today. ID some parts I got to keep...

First there's a pair of rims, then a single rim. Would these be called artillery wheels?
Then a Carter W-1 carb? A pair of Carter AFB carbs, one was in a box with instructions, There's a head from something, It has Ford in script and HT after. It's very light, looks like aluminum. Quite a few back up lamps for tractors, one complete smaller spot light assembly, 2 old horns on a bracket. Anything super rare? The single rim and the aluminum head are what I wonder most about.

 

The single rim looks mid 30s Mopar to me, and the single aluminum head is about '34 Ford.

 

The pair of Carters are Thermoquads. Early to mid 70's Mopar vintage. Depending what numbers the carbs have on them, they could be worth anywhere from $20 to $400.

The 2 carbs are 'Thermoquads'.
Late60s / early mid 70s.


edit: Got tree'd

 

The Carter W-1 is from a 40 and earlier Chevrolet

 

Got some numbers off the thermo quads- 9046s and the other carb is 6139s One I belive is 800cfm and the other dont know the cfm, but is 72ish 340 vintage.

Anymore info on the aluminum Ford head anyone?

 

Could that head be an old "cheater" head? I remember Kirk! had a thread going on some he found last year or farther back.

 

That would be cool, I'll clean it up quick and post better pics...

Post #43. That will give you something to compare it to.

 

1937 Chevy horns.

 

After some cleaning I actually found a part number, this should help alot!

For some reason I cant open the posted links.

The single rim pictured measures 17.5 from edge to edge. And if i'm measuring right has a 5 x 4 1/4" bolt circle.

 

The pair of wheels are Goodyear Jumbo's, the first 15" rims available. They were sold for Model "A" and newer Fords to get better tires on them. I think some were 16" too. Different bolt patterns, too, though yours look like Ford 5 on 5 1/2.
The head is for a V8-85.

 

The single rim is a '36 Plymouth wheel, takes a 6.00-16" tire. I have a whole set plus one for my '40 Chrysler. Good looking wheels, and yes they are 5 on 4.5" pattern.

 

On the general jumbos, There 15 inch, I measured the bolt circle on those, 5 x 5 1/4? odd size to me. Now that I know what they are, I found some in the classifieds on here for astronomical money, obviously they were very nice and a set of 4, whats a pair worth that will clean up nicely?

 

To measure a bolt pattern with a tape measure on a 5 lug wheel, you go from the center of one bolt hole to the outside of one of the opposite ones. That's why the Plymouth artillery measured up to be 4 1/4 and not the 4 1/2 that it actually is. Most likely your Jumbos are 5 on 5.5". I misread your original comment when you said 4 1/4.

I have a pair that look just like yours but 6 lug on eBay for a while and haven't found any interest at $100 for the pair, but I think that's due to the bolt pattern. Yours being early Ford pattern I would guess would be much more desirable.

 

I give $35 for a pair of 17's that are on the rear of my truck and 16's I have had 3 different pair that I had picked up at different times for no more than $25, but sold at alittle higher price. If you have a set of 4 matching that is when the money makes a differance.

 

Hey! send me that shifter. that would be great in my modified

 

32-6 passenger side head for flat top piston

 

The flathead is a 1933-34. Model 40 as the part number starts with...

 

Horns are accessory "Town & Country" 1937 Chevy and may be correct for '38-'39, too.

 

The pair of wheels are not jumbo's. they may be Clark/firestone wheels. They were an aftermarket thing. Check the back of the wheel and see if it has Clark on it. Are you sure they are 15" they look like 16" . Measure the inside lip where the tire sits.

I'd be interested in those wheels for the obvious reasons.
Clark

 

What size is the center hole?
Clark

 

I was going to say the horns are off of a truck just like my 41 Chevy 1 1/2 ton.

 

Well shoot...here is what the fordbarn thread has under the thread titled "36 ford heads":

Ken, I haven't found specific information at the Ford Archives as to why some heads had HT and others didn't. It may have been specific to a vendor. I know that Bohn Aluminum company first introduced the 40-6049/50-A2 style head and it had the HT designation. I also know that Bohn designed the 48-6049/50 heads and they too had the HT designation. I haven't researched the other suppliers to see what they did. Maybe I will during a future visit to the Archives.

 

that one headlight looks like a simplex scooter light.

 

That bike is sick!!!

 

Yes, the 6139s is for a 1972 340 ci Mopar (automatic trans). Someone looking to do a nice restoration on a '72 would probably like that carb. The 9046s might be around a '75 era carb.

I recently saw a 6139 for sale for $90.

the red tractor lights look like farmall lights. The lights with the flatter lens and flatter back to them (less of a tear drop) are farmall Cub headlights. The horns look EXACTLY like the horns in our 50 plymouth.
