1934 Hudson 8

Paul, is it similar in construction to those of the later thirties? That is, is there a "square-off-zee" handle, with sockets at both ends, one of which fits the lug bolts, and the other of which fits an extension rod which actually engages the nut on the vibration dampener?



If so, you might look around amongst dealers in used antique Ford parts. That is where I found my crank handle, many years ago. The Hudson and (late thirties, I assume) Ford designs are similar, but the Hudson socket (on the crank handle) which engages the extension rod, is smaller in diameter than the Ford's. (You can take a measurement of the opening in your bumper to determine the size that will fit). I happened onto a pile of crank handles at a flea market at Atlantic City, and the seller said that some of these were definitely NOT for Fords, so I looked at them. Sure enough, I found one whose "extension rod" socket would fit the crank hole in my bumper, and indeed, it fit perfectly. I probably paid a buck or so for it.
