1931 A-2 Parts

Hi there,

New to these forums, and like the site. I just bought a 1931 A-2 truck, and am missing the oil pump, engine pulley that drives the fan belt and radiator cap. Anyone that may have these, or a lead to these would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Jeff

Welcome Jeff, give em time, some will answer. As for a cap, probably a no pressure or very low pressure cap. Lots of fellows with good knowledge on this site.

For engine parts you must determine the engine in your unit...an old parts catalog lists both the Wauk XA (31/2x41/2) and XAH were originally installed (35/8x41/2)...Wauks usually have an ID tag on the lower part of the driver side block, but don't know if IH let them put them on...someone here will comment...
Caveat: old time/old line truckers loved to swap engines for more power etc, so you may not have original engine...
Look for 3"x4" or so metal "tag" attached to block somewhere; if none found take off all stamped/cast numbers/letters found and post here for advice/sympathy...
XA/XAH were widely used in ind'l/comm'l uses (gensets, pumps, free-standing power units etc), so if NOS NLA should be used pieces around...
Wauk Eng Hist Soc--wehs.net--will have latest manuals (many (all?) Wauk manuals issued in "editions" as updates). Wehs always sends latest edition---they have no parts, but are always helpful and/or sympathetic, such as advising if both engines used same oil pump and/or if your oil pump (assuming you have a Wauk) was also used on any other Wauk engines (makes searching easier)....Good luck.

Hi Bud,

The engine is at my brother's right now. It's 3 5/8 bore. cast right into engine.
These are pics of numbers on block of engine.

Do these help identify engine at all??

Can you post up a picture of the whole engine from both sides that way it will be easier to see the engine details.

Also could you post up a picture of the truck and I will add it to the registry at www.vihtr.com.

Trevor, I would post a picture of the engine, but my brother has it at his place in Minnesota and I live in suburbs of Houston.
I will post picture of the truck the way I bought it online.

The Wauk should have a brass plate on the right side behind the carburetor. The XA has no waterpump, an XAH should have one.

My brother found the plate. Here's a picture.
XAH23 Waukesha.

JJ: Your "23" is the works code for the original accessories etc (ign, carb, etc) on the engine, which I assume (but am not certain) will be the same as the other XAHs acquired by IH, considering possible updates...
Oldtech: Some XAs may've been issued with water pumps, or there may've been a kit to upgrade, as I have a couple old engine parts catalogs that list a water pump kit for "XA, XAH, XAK (for pumps having Fan Hub Pinned To Shaft. Threaded Shaft)."

Thanks for the info Bud. I have begun my search for the parts, and am finding any XAH parts hard to come by.
This engine did no have a water pump from what we can tell.
I did order a full set of gaskets, but may have to figure out another way around the oil pump if I cannot find one.
