Ford Manual
The exhaust as it comes from the engine through the exhaust pipe would create a constant and distracting
noise were it not for the muffler. From the comparatively small pipe, the exhaust is liberated into the
larger chambers of the muffler, where the force of the exhaust is lessened by expansion and discharged
out of the muffler with practically no noise. The Ford muffler construction is such that there is very little
back pressure of the escaping gases, consequently there is nothing to be gained by putting a cut-out in
the exhaust pipe between the engine and the muffler.
How is the Muffler disconnected?
Answer No. 84
Disconnect the exhaust pipe from the motor by unscrewing the pack nut and remove the bolt which holds
the muffler to the frame. After the muffler has been disconnected it can be disassembled by removing the
nut at the rear end of the muffler.
The Running Gear
What care should the Running Gear have?
Answer No. 85
In the first place it at all times should have proper lubrication (see chapter on Lubrication). Once in every
thirty days the front and rear axles should be carefully gone over to see that every moving part, such as
the bushings in spring connections, spring hangers, steering knuckles and hub bearings, are thoroughly
lubricated, and that all nuts and connections are secured with cotter pins in place. The spring clips, which
attach the front spring to the frame, should be inspected frequently to see that everything is in perfect
order.
How is the front Axle Assembly Removed?
Answer No. 86
Disconnect radius rod at the crank case and disconnect the steering gear arm from the steering gear post.
Raise the front end of the car and remove the wheels. Remove the two nuts from the ends of the front
spring clip and remove the license bracket and spring clip bar. The axle can then be easily removed from
the car.
In case of accident, how is the Front Axle straightened?
Answer No. 87
Should the axle or spindle become bent extreme care must be used to straighten the parts accurately. Do
not heat the forgings, as this will un-temper the steel, but straighten them cold. If convenient it would be
better to return such parts to the dealer, where they may be properly straightened in jigs designed for that
purpose. It is very essential that the wheels line up properly (see Answer No. 91)
The eye is not sufficiently accurate to determine whether the parts have been properly straightened, and
excessive wear of the front tires will occur if everything is not in perfect alignment.
What about the Front Wheels?
Answer No. 88
