I just bought a 1912 Hudson model 33. Can someone tell me how much oil should be in the wet clutch? Also, do you have to remove the belly pan to change the engine oil? Thanks, Hoodly

    Congratulations on your purchase, Hoodly. Are you in the H-E-T Club or do you have any contact with someone who is? The best way to answer these questions (and many others that you'll have) is to obtain an international H-E-T roster, find owners of similar cars to yours, and then contact them. For example, Dave Kostansek in northeastern Ohio has several Hudsons of this era that he has restored, and he should be a good one to answer your questions. And there are others like him out there as well.

    Were you by chance hauling it accross I-70 in Ohio Friday evening? I thought I saw a black Hudson touring car headed west on an open trailer.

    No. This Hudson is red and was in an enclosed trailer. It came from central Ohio to Washington state.

    If you send me an e-mail with your contact information, I will send you out an issue of our latest NW region newsletter, if you aren't in the club already. There is information about joining the national and local chapter of the HET club in there.



    Congratulations on the new Hudson!

    Hoodly,



    I just read your thread on the Hudson web site about buying a 1912 Model 33. I just bought one last month myself. Do you still have yours? Did you ever get an answer to your questions?

    Paul-

    After this initial post, I never saw Hoodly post again. Might still be a lurker, you never know.

    When I went to the Seattle National back in 2001, I think it was, fellow there had a 1912 Model 33 for sale (I think it was a 1912 - might have been 1911). Anyway I made him an offer -



    I'd drive the car back to Maine (where I was living at the time) - if I didn't make it I'd find the cash somehow to give him what he was asking. However, if I did make it then he'd have to sell me the car for $1000. :D



    Way I figured it if I could get over the Rocky Mountains and the Cascades - and across the Appalachians getting across the flat land in the middle wouldn't be the least problem.



    He wouldn't take me up on it. Still wonder if it's possible to drive a nearly 90 year old car 3000 miles!!! Something to dream about on cold winter nights!!!

    I think Russell's correct. Hoodly is long gone. If you want to ask him, I'd click on his name and see if you can send him an e-mail. He probably isn't hanging around the forum anymore.

    If your car has a multi clutch disk, then it requires 12 ounces of oil. The newer clutches only use 6 ounces. I rebuilt my 1922 multi disk clutch and it uses 12 ounces. Good luck with your new purchase.
