Day,
I highly recommend getting a JXD engine if you can. They are used in many other vehicles plus farm machinery and even old searchlights. I put a 1935 JXD into my 1935 211AD Diamond T to replace the bad JXA. They are interchangeable but the later JXD replaced the gear drive generator with a belt drive generator. Take a look at your old JXA…[Read more]

Today I posted a wanted ad on this website for two parts that I need. Front shocks are not on this 1935 211AD truck. They were apparently an option. There are mounting points for the shocks on the truck so all I need is someone with a parts truck with shocks. I want these because the couple times I drove it the ride was worse than stiff.

The metal strip that covers the…[Read more]
