Model Differences
BARNlll 9/22/99
I will admit to not knowing very much about Crosleys. I want
to know If the Hot Shot and Super Sports used the same frame as the
other models? What about the pick up and FarmOroad? What kind of
transmission did the FOR have? and did it have any pto's? What
information is there on Braje speed equipment? or about the pre war
motors? what about the PUP? Can the 6 1/2 clutch interchange with the
earlier clutch?

The Hot Shot and Super Sport used the same frame. The car,
pick up, and wagon used a shorter frame with a different rear
suspension. The FOR used a different rear altogether. the FOR had a 6
speed trans, and usually a rear pto. You should contact Jim Bollman
about info on the FOR. You will have to contact Paul Gorrell about the
Pup. the 6 1/2 clutch will interchange if you have the flywheel also.

The Hot Shot and Super Sports share the same frame. The
sedan, wagon and pickup share the same frame with slight modifications
to the rear rails for the pickup. The FOR frame is completely different
than any other model. All models have the same 3 speed non syncro
transmission. There were some small changes to the transmission through
the years. The FOR adds a 2 speed 4:1 transfer case behind the 3 speed.
The transfer case gives the output shaft for a rear power takeoff and a
sprocket for a front pto both optional. The 6 1/2" clutch is only
interchangeable if you switch flywheels and pressure plate. What do you
want to know about the Pup? The club has a series of booklets available
that I edited back in the 70s that give a good overview of the
different models and years, lots of pictures. They cover all the years
plus the FOR in 8 booklets and a total of 76 pages. The full set cost
$15.
