It sound like you might have a problem with the 900 mile wheel. Did you check for speedometer repair in Ontario? I found this when I did a search. http://www.canadaspeedometer.com/

The 42 0wners manual makes no reference to a trip odometer. The 41-48 Ford book shows a trip odometer for 41 but shows no trip odometer for 42-48. I believe the trip odometer must have been dropped after 41.

hi 46 ODOMETER I assume this is a original FORD SPEDOMETER, driving in reverse will not subtract the millage , it is magnetic drive it only works in one direction, there is probably one of the gears inside that are not touching, or meshing correctly. loose screw ?? you can use a drill [ at low speed,] when the speedometer is out and watch what is happening, might be a easy fix, these are very fragile so be care full when handling, hope this helps, 37Ragtopman maybe Bing or Google a few videos on repairs of speedometer ?

I googled "1946 Ford speedometer" and found no images of a speedo of that era with a trip odometer. It is possible that a super deluxe did have one, I don't know.

You don't have to crawl under the dash to see it. Just reach under dash with arm and go by feel with your hand. Very easy on my 36 to reset from the drivers seat. ken ct

Thank you Ken. I'll have to try out my new inspection scope, so I don't have to contort my old body into a pretzel, and see what I have.
