Speedometer Gear Help!!

Almost complete on restoration on a 1954 R-100. This site has been such a wealth of knowledge to get me to this point. Thanks to all. I have ran into a road block now. The truck has a Borg Warner factory installed overdrive and the speedo is not working. Disconnected speedo from overdrive and found driven gear ( the one on the cable) chewed up. No lube for years and froze up and ate gear. The gear has 15 teeth on it that I can count. It seems to be right hand gears all so. Where do I start to find a replacement?

I was in the same boat with the speedometer from my L-110. I took it in to Nevada Speedometer and they guy there told me that they weren't meant to be opened or fixed. And then he fixed it for me. They are great people, and I'm sure you could send it to them. Their number: (775) 358-7422

I get to Reno every couple of weeks if there anything I can help with - good luck!

Thanks for the info. I have noticed that in many Ford antique truck books that they have replacements available for this purpose. Usually a $12-$15 fix. Not found one that would work for my IH though. I'll give your suggestion a try.

I purchased a cable for my S series 4 speed from this guy, not sure if thats what you need. CABLE ONLY

I've got a 56 S-120. The speedometer doesn't work but the odometer does. I'm thinking the cable controls both, so I'm thinking the cable is ok. Any suggestions? I know they carry the cable at NAPA.

The guy I posted makes different lengths, if it your cable, awood sounds like he needs the gear drive too. Napa will be more perhaps than 19 bucks, I got lucky and took the gear drive apart and lubed it up years ago, works fine, depending on what rear gear you have the scout ones worked for me when I changed rear gear. hope this helps

These guys may help awood

How about posting a pic of the part you need?

Will second Scottso's comment, especially for those of us who are visually oriented.
