The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts Speedometer On 2 Speed Rear Trucks

1946 2 ton

The speedometer did not work.

I found that the speedometer cable was missing when I disconnected the housing. So I ordered a new cable and housing. Installed them and the speedometer still does not work.

I noticed that there is a thin rod that is connected from the 2 speed rear knob on the dash.

The straight rod has a bent end and it appears that should be in the end of an arm on the speedometer housing. But that rod goes through at least an inch past the bent end.

Now it appears that the rod should move the speedometer housing so the speedometer reads correct for each rear gear.

Should the rod not go past the bent end into the hole?

Should the speedometer housing position be at 12 o'clock?

It appears that then the rod would not go past the bent end.
