Title: Fabric U-Joint Discs
Post by: 30 Ply 30U on May 09, 2006, 11:19:41 PM
info transfer from old board.
Fabric U-Joint Discs Does anyone know a supplier of new fabric U-joint disks used on 28 and 29 plymouths? A while back the Plymouth Bulletin (the club magazine) had an article about that. My notes from the article indicate that Chrysler part number 41262 (Universal joint disc (Q, U, 30-U up to 1561283 U.S. built and all Canadian built.)) could be gotten at your John Deere dealer where the part number is L373T (for a 1940 John Deere LA tractor). A short cut to my version of this is at:

I registered with John Deere online and they still list the part, but the list price is $120 each! That's $600 for a set of 5! That seems awfully expensive for fabric disks.
I paid $75.00 for the full set on e-bay two years ago.
We actually made them from scratch. Long, tedious, smelly, but they work ok. You need a band saw, hole saw, and a drill. Oh, a lot of patience.
Send me a drawing with dimensions and I can make them for about $80-100 for a set of five. Thanks, Wayne

Has anybody converted the tailshaft from fabric to the modern type universals? Our 29 Tourer has a bad vibration at 45mph and above which I think is due to the hme made(?) fabric items.
