I think it’s a combo starter generator

Thanks so much on the 1914 best John

Do you have a picture of one without the lamp on it?

If it doesn’t have to be original:

Is this anything? Can’t really tell from the example pictures of what those brackets look like.

Looks a little bit like a Metz rear fender

Steve didn’t the earliest of the Coupelet have a trunk lid/door that opened at the base & not at the top section? Those others wouldn’t work would they? Again I hear what you’re saying & not disputing I learnt stuff all the time on the forum & reading, best John

——————————————-

I thought the earliest of these for the Coupelet & Runabout mounted under the body and had an extended arm so the early lid on the Coupelet could be opened though admittedly I could be wrong.

You’ll get a lot of good suggestions most will be in the neighborhood of 80/140 synthetic. Here’s a link to a long thread including the advice to flush and add a bottom drain plug. Best John

Ain’t it the truth!

Trying to help someone that needs the right rear fender for a 1912/13 model 22. Any leads would be great thanks John

Surfing the web looking for an aluminum intake and chanced upon this. Measurements are good. So why?

Michael if your generator hasn’t been grounded out since it quit working it’s likely the generator has burned itself out. If you’re lucky it has not but at this stage of the game it may require a professional as others have stated. If you’re not going to act quickly on a rebuild then in an abundance...

That’s a super deal!!!

Larry just echoing what you and others have stated.
Bill does have other trailers. He recently haul an early vehicle from Hot Coffee to the way west. There was plenty of headroom too. He also accommodated some extra items as lagniappe. I’d use him every time I’d need to get him.

Terry I think you’re right on the name, as I recall he was a full bodied guy and I was wondering how comfortable would it have been to be in that TT CAB for such a long trip. I can hardly stand driving my TT for a few minutes. I’ve even considered making the cab an extended cab. The picture of that ...

You’ve come to the right place, heck you’ll be treated so many different ways you’re sure to like one. Congrats on making the goal a priority, you’ll probably have another T sooner than you think. Nice looking 1926 Touring those sweet running T’s. Best John

One was at the 100 year anniversary from Texas that they drove to Richmond IN. & drove it around 50-55 mph. The young guy did have auxiliary transmission & rear axle I believe. Did I mention he had AC too. Yes it was a T model Engine.

I think I have a contact of the folks / students that helped in selling some of Bob Scherzer stuff who use to reproduce those headlights if you’re interested.

Robert it may be easier to take it to someone that will repair your front axle for a fee. No ill will intended but the reamers /taps are so expensive (north of $500 shipped) that if you have the set up you’re a bit particular about their use. A lot of folks with less experience using taps & reamers ...

Mike didn’t the mounting flange angle change too?

THAT PERSON MAY BE A FEMALE OR MALE BUT WHATEVER THEY HAVE A BIG HEAD.

Mark they use to have a News letter but the last one I’ve seen is from 2009 so I don’t know if they are still in business. I did send an email but got an automated response. Here it is in total. “ Thank you for contacting VAL! YES, still in business and well! We are working full time outside of VAL ...

So check you’re build date if you’re trying to be precise, if I’m not mistaken last part of 12 model into 13 the levers were flat thatched & tapered

Knobbed or flat thatched tapered

I’ll be your Huckleberry. Thanks

I could be spitting into the wind here, there has been certainly good advice & explanations on the why but there could be another couple reasons in addition to those given. You’re kingpins could be tightened to much & the bushings may not have been reamed correctly. Probably wrong but a thought to p...

40 years now an every once in a while I’ll catch a whiff of Old Spice & immediately like a flashback I can see my dad for just a moment. It happens around the farm especially in the shop. I’ve tried to force it to happen just to see if perchance but nothing.Tender mercies. I hope you boys have the s...

Mike Lebsack might be able to help you on that item.

Proud to be the beneficiary of redemption despite me being me.

Thanks Bob, indeed that’s what Kevin is working on. I wouldn’t imagine that in the past you would see a wide variety of prewar since generally speaking Chickasha would have been a week or 10 days earlier. This could turn out great.

Well heck Keith why didn’t you bring them on the plane to Chickasha

Well Mark did you end up with the Muncie?

I’ll be a huckleberry,

you’re no Daisy you’re no Daisy at all

Kevin is currently configuring the pre war spaces in the buildings for folks that are looking for climate control. Give him a call if your interested he said he’s already received a decent number of spaces requested.

Fred thanks for the response, I think having something there too would be great. I think for folks in the North & Northeast it would be a deal breaker being another 3-4 hours driving but in addition to something in Oklahoma sounds great.

Best John

…………………………

Thanks Matt

John is looking for a H1 bowl & brass E&J doors both in good shape

………………………….

Thanks you guys, I think this could be a very good opportunity for use in talking with Kevin he said that he needs to go up to 1948 on the dedicated area. Again we’re just exchanging ideas but will know something soon. Here’s an ask, if you have contact info for other makes of early cars member/offi...

This not official but Kevin is putting together some flyer proofs any thing you would like to add or change?
Best John

Karl truthfully I don’t know but any help would be great. Send some pictures if you can. Best John

Dan, Ray was so excited to get them. Really was nice of Dan Hatch to bring them down from PA. I drove about 7 hours round trip to his house to bring them home so they could go to Ray. He was attending a Board meeting in Ok City. So it worked out almost without a hitch

Michael send it to me and I’ll see if I can keep it hehehe

George the plug in the driving plate shaft may be askew or missing, if it’s the 4th main wallowed out Gene French will bore a newly poured 4th main to the size of the driving plate shaft. Hope that helps. Best John

Forum looking for a source for top socket nesting
These are for Dogleg sockets 09/10 thanks in advance for any help. Best John

Lee if Jack Putnam has some extra reproductions (very high quality) it will cost you a not insignificant amount of money when you add the reamer and reamer tap that goes with the tool. So I suppose the question is are you wanting the tool for multiple use or do you need it to do your front axle. If ...

Did you take more off the bronze thrust washers on one side vs the other? Did you buy new axles? Is one hub worn more than the other?

Taper in cylinder

Well done Erik

Dale I have several good pairs. Let me know how I can help. Best John

Steve to answer the question in the header of this thread please allow me to use a local question to answer your question, Does 25 pounds of Martha White self rising flour make a big biscuit?

Currently Kevin is wrapped up with the Swap meet he’s putting on now, he told me they have sold close to 500 spaces for the current meet. Kevin also said that if you decide to participate this next year be sure to say you are Pre War and if you want inside a building, open air or covered open air. H...

Sounds Awesome

George thanks but that style won’t work with a 2 piece timer. Best John

The search continues

If only Hugh Jass was still on line. He could tell you about Bitumen’s properties.

I have a new to early model T friend that’s looking for one.
Best John

Would have been great to have the Board meeting at the past swap meet in Oklahoma. Seems like it be a real opportunity for both the Board and members/hobbiest.

That’s a great price even if shipping was $200, it’s a 3 speed plus reverse

John, yes they do in fact Kevin Hammack (Duncan swap organizer) came by the Chickasha swap to hand out flyers to the Duncan Swap to whom ever would take one. He talked to several Vendors and they told him about the announcement of the closing and immediately was interested in the possibility to acco...

Gene I’m with you a 100%

Jerry, if you’ve ever picked huckleberries in tall grass chiggers will eat you up they’re a little mite that will make you scratch until you bleed

Kevin (the organizer) said thats perfectly ok to do that at the meet in Duncan, so Steve you’ll be in like Flynn if you attend.

Frank in the south we just say bless your heart. I may be wrong but I believe most folks don’t buy a motor home just for going to swap meets, help me here, don’t you buy insurance and tags and maintenance for any active vehicle you use? Using that thought process we can go to the nebulous, so let’s ...

Frank & Terry don’t forget electricity, indoor plumbing, showers & bathrooms including toilet paper not corn cobs, man now we’re living high off the hog. Thanks for your contribution to the cause though I’m not sure what the wish list contribution was. Maybe this thread is one you pass over but I’d ...

I spoke with Kevin Hammack the organizer of a currently viable Swap meet that is interested in accommodating a prewar section in this growing swap meet. I’m facing reality that a swap meet around springtime just dedicated to pre-war may not be viable long term but if there were a swap meet where the...

Layden I’ll take it. Best John

Richard if you don’t laugh on either movie there is no hope,
“Bring out your dead” ha!

Thanks for the memories until we swap meet again!
The small 14oz, with 2 sides but more important the friendships spanning a generation or two.

I’m thinking more on the line of this.

Stay tuned may be only halfdead…… the adventure continues. I hope that the swap meet finds a new beginning, I live in the Deep South, so in reality it’s about the closest pre war meet to me an a central location for many states. This morning, having coffee with my trophy bride of 33 years, I reminis...

A few more pictures of how bad it wasn’t.

In North Building only west side was open.

Everything is perception, here’s a picture of the hotel I’m staying in at Chickasha. Just look at how many folks are in the hotel…….its sold out. I sold over 3K day one, guys across the aisle slightly more. Most everyone one said they were doing better than the past few years. I also bought items, o...

8 am for vendors I believe, 10 am to the public and I guess closing is when most folks have covered their items and headed to the feed trough.

Your Legit

Some of the other knockoffs.

Depending what decade the reproductions were made and the company that reproduced them. Some of the reproductions have smaller vent holes in the bonnet some only have 4 or five round holes, the round holes may not have a raised shoulder like the original later round hole lights. The brass oval tag i...

Corey Walker may do it. You can contact him through the forum’s email or private message. Best Regards John

He could be bringing McKinley’s, Cleveland’s, Madison’s but not Chase’s. I believe bringing a Wilson would be way over the top & just showing off.
I believe Hamilton & Chase are the only Sec. of Treasury on bills & Franklin was an inventor & First Postmaster General

They are unique compared to the Brown & Corcoran. Attached you will find 4 pictures Brown, E&J, Corcoran & Victor. There are 4 variations of the Victor black & Brass, the one pictured here is the second variation.

Nah, a little leak what could go wrong?

Holley H1, good carb once rebuilt (I suggest Corey Walker). You are missing a very expensive piece and that’s the fuel line pipe that forms the elbow at the male fitting on the bowl. Repairing those bowls,if you can, is a nightmare. Best John

If I can make it I’m bringing some early items such as side lamps, Brown 60’s, 85’s headlamps JB Model 15, early E&J Patent Pending sidelights Large style for 09/10. Regular Style with Flare Patent pending. E&J HEADLAMPS (New reproduction in Box). Double twist Rubes & Nonpareil for Ford, 2 Sears mot...

In the last picture look how nice & taut the top boot is on the T in the back right.

Hope everyone try’s to make the effort to attend, buy & sale at this swap meet. We can make this as good as it gets, it’s up to us my fellow hobbyists. Best John

Allen & Richard all in jest I hope you understood that, if not “my hypocrisy knows no bounds.”

Austin I can’t imagine that having a positive long term result. I really hope I’m wrong. Best John

Well Allen & Richard very critical eyes. If you note the original post is from 2023 over a year ago and previous to Jeff producing the regulator for sale. Sort of a “ fire, ready, aim” approach, well played. I am a very big advocate of Jeff’s Voltage regulator & followed the build thread they were i...

Dan gave some good advice however if memory serves me correct, cutting the large drum donor tube right at the junction of the tube to the pumpkin/differential case, you’ll have the correct length to insert into the Ruckstell housing. Don’t try to drill the holes right away rather mock the rear axle ...

Look at lot 588 & 596. Bob built these and they work great. 588 if you take a close look you’ll know what it is and you won’t spend 2k on it. The centerline & peg holes were off the blueprints. He added that back piece to help in alignment. It works well. No you’re not going to do 500 alignments but...

Bob was a close friend, i spoke with him at least every week including the day before he passed, He had just been released from the hospital, he had severe chronic copd , he relapsed. Bob was a veteran, a honest and decent person. Bob was private, read a lot, commented some & laughed often. What mos...

If it matters, very late 1911, definitely 1912. It appears that one backing plate with ribs(note the brake shoe side) has replaced the original style like the other pictured I believe. Like an early 09/10 or 11. Perhaps a 1915 style backing plate?

Jim take your time with it, you soon have all kind of help and new friends once restored. In the process when you start to inspect it, you’ll need some help but turn it over and inspect the cast webbing for cracks and runs from the crack. Those will need to be repaired before your start using it. If...

Jim be sure you have it Blanchard ground once you get everything off. You’ll want it nice a level on the table. Great deal. You’re about $1300 ahead of the game. I believe Adam makes several pieces you’ll need to complete it.
Best John

Well that went quick
