IMHO, platinum plugs are a waste of money for a T, unless you imagine you’re going to run them for 100,000 miles ! Any good quality copper plug is fine. Rockauto has them in Champion and other brands. A Champion 38 is a non resistor plug of what wingnut used. N12YC, $1.88 each, his is an RN12YC. He ...

Anyone ????

As it happens, I have THE Jensen aluminum head that Kevin Prus used to make the mold he uses for his castings.

Walked past it looking longingly

Happy New Year everyone !!
Around here they start dumping salt on the roads around November, so mine is put away for the season. As well as the Shovelhead.

I’ll probably start it next warm day.

It was for commercial use. I have one also.

I was thinking it was for a stationary unit.
Certainly wouldn’t help a car much if it has a good radiator.

About the same as “how many licks it takes to get to the tootsie in a tootsie pop”?

I love the wind wings.. an no stinkin isinglass. :lol: Thanks George, they really help with the wind whipping around, knocking my hat off and mussing my hair ! Isinglass ? I assume you mean the rear window ? My dad did upholstery and added a roll up rear windows later on. It has two square windows ...

Daves a great guy has never failed to lend a hand when asked. We met a few years ago now, quite by chance through the forum. Didn't realize we're only 10 miles apart. His parents were in the same T club as my wife and I however his dad had passed by the time we joined. We try to do T related stuff ...

Thanks for the kind words guys ! I lost my dog too few years ago and Dewey is the new one. Just about 2.5 years now and 95lbs ! Nothing I’ve ever dealt with compares to losing my wife, especially at 61. Steve, I followed your saga a bit, terrible what happened to you and your T. Glad you’re back and...

Been a rough few years and I took a hiatus for some time but I’m doing okay and will be around again. Some of you may remember me as the wiring harness guy, sold them all thanks to you guys and thanks. Helped with my mom’s care but sadly she passed in 2021. This June, health issues finally took my w...

Mine started right up after sitting all winter. I did start it a couple months ago on a fair day. Got it cleaned up a week or so ago, checked tires, oil and coolant and filled up the tank Saturday. Actually found gas for $3.48 !! While at the station a guy pulled out in a Challenger and burned the t...

Anyone familiar with this ?
Curious of the cost back when.
Didja all know that your Ford engine will outlast your car ?

Only in a Jeep !

Fill er up, $2.45 !!
Someone know what the truck is ?

Unless you drive it and warm it up good (20 miles or so), that looks about normal.
Best way to clean if you want is lightly sandblasting.

A good additional 12” here....plow truck knocked my mailbox down last night. Post is rotten so I packed snow around it for now.
I have not seen snow this deep since I lived here.
Maybe the early 90s since ones like this.

Our Mail was on time today and we have a couple inches less than you guys Tim.
You sure picked a good year to stay north.

I still have to look more for the steering part you need.

Set the hand brake and hit the starter button and she spun right over. Did not try to start, just checking the battery and splashed some oil around.

Model A or B ?

The rim is spinning a flat belt that runs into the pump.

Maybe the pump is spinning the rim...

Well it's close to that here but not quite! Gonna go plow the driveway shortly. Just talked to Bill in Port Clinton and he got 2 inches. I’m about 25 miles from him in Martin and not 1 snowflake here. :D I’m just west of Akron, see my pictures above. 12-18” and 3’ drifts in places. Have not seen an...

You got off easy this time Tim !!

Dallas too....

T time

Obviously nut trees and I won’t mention any names but, as they say... “the nut doesn’t fall far from the tree”

Speaking of nuts, how bout the driver ? One little load shift and his last trip is to Boot Hill !!

I would love to try it !!
Seems like a helmet might be in order, a electric one and gloves etc in the heated variety.
Funny as a kid, you never seemed to get cold...nowadays !!

Loaded up !!

Stay back 50 feet !!

FWIW, I've never had issues starting a vehicle with a 6 volt system, even if the engine is well worn, as long as the electrical parts are in good shape. Same here, proper gauge wires from the battery to the switch and the switch to the starter post. Same thing with the ground to frame and all conne...

First be sure you’re on the compression stroke...
Then the rotor should point near #1 on the cap and the points should be just about to open or close to it, at TCD.

I deducted 10 points because of the chrome instead of nickel plating.

Before you take the starter off...
Be sure you have good clean connections at the battery, ground at the frame and the proper gauge wires are used from the battery to the switch and to the starter and the ground cable.
6V does not like a smaller gauge wire like used on a 12V system.

I’m thinking these may be a fitting for a heater line. Goes on the block to hook up the heater hoses

On a bit pricier vehicle than a T

I have a ladle that my dad used to pour the 3rd main with, that has 2 spouts beside each other.
I’ll have to look for it and get a picture.

I have mostly Snap-on sockets and some hand tools. I even owe them a few dollars, but haven’t seen my dealer in a few years. :?: I need to drop off some to my buddy that has a dealer regularly to replace a few broken pieces. Pricey yes, but by far the longest lasting, especially when you use them ev...

I have seen the fine line first hand.... Maybe not like the Haven buttttt. For one man just doing swap meets and not trying hard. My old man was on the hoarding side of the line. 40+ spindles, 20-30 coil boxes, 20-30 axle housings and axles, torque tubes, 50 something rods and caps. 2 garages, 1 att...

I think this may be the same truck but from the 20's
gtruck.jpeg

Same kind of truck, but it’s got a different number on the side.
I’d guess late 20s, early 30s, but what make of truck ?

I chopped this out of a meme...said it was a 1890s garbage truck. I don’t think so. But it’s cool !
What is it says you ?

I doubt this was a random theft. I bet the owner has shown the car to the crooks at one point. And the bastards knew what they were doing. We all know T rear wheels don’t just come off with lug nuts. LaGrange is in the middle of nowhere also. Hopefully the parts will find their way home. What brand ...

My buddy Dallas about always sends me his leftovers.

Ended up with about 2”

This swap meet is a 6.2 hour drive for me, is this a pretty big shindig?
Sounds like a place I want to go,but a long way off.

I was there right before the lockdowns....
Not huge, 50-60 vendors ? It was more T stuff primarily. And a chow hall !

I’ll look again Rich, I think the handles are metal.
Pictures of the repops look like 26-27 latches and window lifts...
I will clean them up and see if they are free and post them on the classified sometime.
With better pictures Tim. I just wanted to show both sides.

Dave, yure a wurs pikture taker than me!

Tim... I think I take a good picture !!

Thanks Rich, I guess I don’t have one...

Anyone on the latches and lifts ?

Don’t get Ralph started !!

I am pretty sure these are T closed car parts.
Can anyone please verify and tell me what year and a ballpark value ?
Also, does anyone have a picture of the cowl vent handle mechanism ?
Thanks Dave

My touring with 3:1 gearing, HC head OS valves and a Stromberg OF gets a little over 20mpg. I have not checked it lately but the OF does a lot better than the NH that was on there.

The rear axle and spring look possibly to be Ford.
The rest kinda looks like a conglomeration and some parts homemade. Does it have an engine ?
More pictures might help.

I’m really proud of Frank, Hank and Dallas, unlike a couple of others that are absolutely in denial. Norm is borderline, but I think he’s ready for the first step of admission. John you must have misunderstood several boxes of starter parts, maybe, here’s a couple... Coil boxes ?? :? And screw jacks...

Model T OCD...obsessive collection disorder ! :lol: I am convinced my father had it bad. Just when I think I’ve found all of a certain parts.... I find a box full of more. I bet I’m up to 50 spindles !! :shock: Starters and boxes full of noses and brush holders Dozens !! Same thing with generators a...

What Pat said, and how fresh is the engine will be a factor also....
I would say anywhere from 60psi to 80psi is good, as long as all 4 are close to the same reading.
Be sure to do a dry test and a wet test with a little oil in the plug hole to see if the rings are sealing, if the dry reading is low.

The rod bearing surface is not chamfered on the ends properly and also no oil hole for a dipper.

That driveshaft has had it, I would suspect the pinion gear is also. The fit of the taper is as or more important than the key to keep it from spinning and shearing the key again. The gear should lock down on the shaft even without a key in place and not rock....

I put this on the summer over thread, but here’s the wife and some mums and pumpkins we got locally the other day.

Great fall day here, about 72 and sunny.
Went to a friend’s farm up the street and got some pumpkins and they gave the wife some nice mums too !!

Fortunately we have a few more weeks south of the Great Lakes. HOPEFULLY !!
77 the high today.

Joe, new ring gear ?
Did you chase the threads in it ?

I see that the factory has wing nuts on the lower panel....mine has a clip for the side curtains fastened there. Is the lower panel supposed to open ?
I have a couple good windshield frames BTW, if interested John.
