Thank you everyone for your thoughts as what this might be
I'll forward a link to my friend so he can see your ideas and thoughts
Thanks again
Rick.

A friend brought me pictures of this and wondered if I knew what it was. My first thought was a Urn. Thought I would post here for those with greater knowledge to help.
ANY IDEAS??

This lovely Lady is Toots

Just heat them up with a torch and put them in the freezer and they will fall out.
Give it a try.

Thank you Pat for the info on the packing
I'll check it out

Thanks guys for all the info.
If any one can help me out with the check valve I would appreciate.
Pump seems not to provide a good volume of air to fill tire.
And seems to leak air around top of small tube.
Thanks
Rick.

Working on a Bridgeport Double Tube Pump.
Looking for help on the check valve at air outlet.
1. Which way does the valve go in?
2. Is there to be a spring in check valve?
3. Direction of pump leathers in tubes?
Thanks for any help
Rick.

Thanks for all the great info
I'll see what I can find

What is the correct fastener to attach the Cowl Lacing to wood firewall on a1922 Touring.
Thanks
Rick.

I used Rust-Oleum 2X Hunter Green Semi Gloss on my Weaver Tire Changer.

Has anyone seen these accessory brackets that attach to windshield posts that allow a One Man Top to be used instead of the Two Man Top?
They have a number stamped on back where they attach to post.
Never seen them before. Hope someone may have info on them.
Thanks Rick.

Here is a couple of projects from T Parts
Lots of time last year too make things.

For those who only use water here is a link to a rust/corrosion inhibitor product and radiator flush. https://www.no-rosion.com/hyperkuhlcoolant.htm I found out about these products through the Model A Restorers Club No-Rosion Cooling System Corrosion Inhibitor No-Rosion Industrial Grade Cooling Sys...

When I purchased my 24 Coupe they were installed by previous owner.
Have left them on as I'm not ready to do body work on pillars.
Not factory but looks ok along with brass radiator shell.

Here is a link with information on Weaver Garage Equipment I found.

Thank you all for the great comments.
Now I will pursue to learn the proper operation. I have removed a couple of tires from clincher rims and split rims. Not sure if it was the proper way or not but was a lot easier than removing them with the wheel on the floor.

Thanks Rich

Color is pretty close to what I found in a couple of areas
Paint is Rust-Oleum Painters Touch 2X
Semi gloss Hunter Green

Just finished rebuilding my vintage Weaver Tire Changer.
Next project is to build a white oak base to place it on.
Followed by trying it out.
Should make tire changing a lot easier.

I'm interested to.

Yes that is what the core hole looks like without the plug.

Old freeze plug out and area cleaned up ready for the new one.
Thanks to Hank and the MTFCA for all your help.
Rick

After further investigation Adam is right a freeze plug it is.
Previous owner of head must have put a pipe plug in or filled center of freeze plug due to previous leak.
Now what is my best option and how to do proper repair.
And where to get correct freeze plug

Thanks guys for all the info.
Picked up a 1/8" pipe plug and it screws in easily. A little loose until no threads showing.
Any recommendations for sealing plug into head?
Thanks
Rick

Thanks Dan
Will check it out in morning and see if a pipe plug will do the fix.
I don't remember a pipe plug in this area
But the memory is not as good as it was once was.

Pictures of area of concern.

Went out for a ride tonight and started smelling antifreeze.
Got home and have a leak in head between plug#4 and back of head in round embossed area.
Water spraying out of round embossed area.
Is this a freeze plug area?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

There are no words to express the knowledge these young men are learning from you.
I wish I was closer to you to be able to have the chance to learn more about the wonderful Model T.
Henry Ford would be proud.
You make this hobby so much fun.
