Maybe using the foot for a couple priming turns. Save the arm and shoulder for the 1/4 pull to fire up.

Model T Haven has a speedo mount listed on their ebay store right now similar to the one in Russ's post.

Easy to check fuel system. Proper flow to carb. Open carb and make sure there is no dirt or anything in float valve. Have a look at the plugs for soot. If it has been running fine, I would suspect a fuel problem. After that if the problem is stiil there then you can check electical system and keep c...

Bud, you need a belt pulley on the rear wheel!

Is it true TT&T charged by the insulator and not buy the pole ?

Back to basics after the cyclone.

Wish you were closer Bud.

Probably the best version of that song I have ever heard. Who knew MMO could be used on electrical systems?

Sure made it easy to install new shingles !

A couple more in the back and it would be rubbing rubber on the fenders ? I bet that tall body cornered great !

Nothing noted about the Larkvonets barn being hit be the tornado ??? Word has it that it filled the vertical spagetti grove to the top with 3rd cutting of hay. Chugwater residents still talk about eating spagetti salad for months! Strawberry Mars is still a popular beverage using Happy Sally today!

My modern version.

ROUGH STAGE? The wood you took out was ROUGH STAGE !
Looking great Don. Your progress is amazing.

A friend thats into Graham Paige cars, found a complete 29 engine and chassis with no body. What to do ? He has a 29 and 31 Graham Paige already. Speedster time ! A Hudson good will make a nice boat tail. Mock up stage right now. Just thought some would like to see a non T parts save. Resized_201912...

Darren, you are having too much fun ! Merry Christmas to you and yours also.

Rich, I have heard mixed reviews of Dances with moles ? Some say its the blind directing the blind while others say its mounds of trouble. I guess we can follow the the trail to the moss grubs, what ever that meens?

Leaning forward, up on the wheel must help also Rich ! Great photo of what I was talking about.

Rich, you have my way of thinking. I have always put the tallest tire and narrow as I could get on me trucks and can count on one hand the times I have had assistance getting out in 30 years. Jobsite mud or , fire scenes or snow storms they get me through. My tires have tread, those are bolona skins.

REO Truck.JPG.jpg I hope Herb doesnt mind me useing this from another thread. Seeing this with mud on the wheels got me thinking. Hard rubber tires and maybe 4 inches wide? I have a 60 ft articulating ,4x4 man lift with 16 in wide lugger tires and can hardly get around the house I am building in 8 ...

You said it Bud. The teams are getting larger around here. The amish neighbor uses a large round bailer for hay. Pulls a hundred HP deisel power unit in front of the bailer. Takes an 8 horse team to bale hay. They get a rest at every bail kicked out. When the chopped corn at my place last year, ther...

Love it !

Is that ash Don? You can turn pine into ash with a little fire!

Let the chips fly!

I wish it would walk. Running is dangerous!

We have one about 20 miles from me. 20's to early 60's iron. Owner will not let you look, wont sell and wont even talk to you. All you can do is drive by when the leaves are gone and drool. Must be 80 acres of cars and trucks.
I would like to see more photo's Jim.

I love cold weather in your back yard ! The onset of winter meens your paintbrush is back in action!

Don, at the speed you work, you will need a new project by Christmas ! I love to watch these projects come together. I have not been in the shop for some time so Im getting my fix here.

Understandable, well sort of!

Dave, you can clearly see the tree is cut off. Its a dead tree he is putting up!

I have not started on the coil box yet. I have major surgery planned for the runabout this winter. I have a correct "Joe Bell" rebuilt engine to install. Now its running a tired 22 engine. I need to replace a rusted front cross member and install a Muncie 3 speed. I am trying to beat the weather to ...

That is one sweet hood ornament!!!

I use rope cause I aint got chains!

Rope is good for yards and fields but a few minutes on pavement and you have alot of little pieces of rope. Shoot I never thought about thread! Much cheaper by the foot. How many feet are in 4500 spools?

Dave's right. You gotta be part goat to get to his house! Pretty sure I could see western Kansas from his yard.

Thank you gents!

Looks like your livin the dream Tim! Way to come back. Where there is a will, there is a way!

I know there are some clock experts here. My wife has inherited her grandmothers grandfather clock. Not extremly old but I need to bring it home. Do I need to remove weights, keep upright ect...
I do not want to damage anything. Thank you.

Nice find! Congrats!!

Welcome to the forum! Does the fuel cap have a hole to let air into tank. Sounds like vapor lock. 1st thing that came to mind. Simple to check also. Hope others will offer help also.

Santa brought me my FP coil box kit today. The plastic bits are black in color. As for old coil box parts, the only thing I pitch is the wood if it is too far gone for a pattern. My contacts are in great shape as is the wood. I want to make sure I have no carbon tracking or " loose juice" in the box.

Gas prices here change like the wind. Goes up 40 cents in ten minutes. Takes ten days to drop 30 cents?

Three photos of trials after installing front brakes Perry?

The horse had to "draw" it!

I plan to use original contacts. That was my understanding also George. I just was waiting on the FP kit for the wood " plastic".

Dave, I can save you alot of time. I can come pick up all that scrap iron and broken stuff. You shouldnt have to deal with all those old parts.
Just trying to help!

Thanks for the ride Duey! Looks like the country out my window but missing the Amish.

I orded a plastic kit to rebuild the coul box on my 26 from Langs quite a while ago and it was backordered. I was advised to call some other suppliers but lost track of time and have been busy at work so just didnt get it done. I recieved an email from langs stating they changed suppliers and have m...

Dont worry, it the extended cab! Very rare?

My 41 coupe is doung the same

Don, thats why you need two T's! When one needs a day or a week at the spa, you can still have fun with the other!

Congrats Jim! Good to hear your well. If you have trouble figuring out that phone, find a kid. Thats what I do!

Amen Don!

CAUTION! Hunting season has started!

20191116_071607.jpg The view from my deer stand this morning fellas! Snow and 22 degrees and a great sunrise! Watched a mink hunting for about 45 minutes all within 30 yds of me and his prize was a mouse. Squirls, rabbits, cardinals,blue jays, turkey gobbling in the back ground! Some of the best re...

Johnny Bolts was the leader of the Wax Ring or gang so to speak. . They were always in deep with sticky fingers. Everything came out alright in the end I hope? Dont forget the paperwork!

C'mon Bud, hop in with Dave and come on down! After sledding we can carry corn to the house for the stove. Warm up twice that way.

My son likes to play with the photos on his phone. He sent them to me.

We have pleanty Dave! Better get started, it will be gone next week. We can go to the Twin Six to warm up after.

Having grandchildren is the dream! Teaching them how to have fun with a T is a bonus.

Had to post this. Looks like a R. Eagle painting?

If I take a photo horizontal with my phone it is right side up on my post. If I take it vertical with my phone its sideways on post. Go figure!

Our power company just left my place asking permission to access the east pasture to tim my trees back from the lines. Its about 14 degrees outside. Now none are within 6 feet of the lines and are not close to the lines at the road. As a matter of fact, the power line stops at my place. Now thats pr...

A mostly complete running chassis?

One of the most enjoyable projects I've ever taken on. Made some great friends along the way. It did take two years.

I have them Steve, just didnt use them

Glad to hear you got back on that horse Tim. Sorry you had to!

Rich, I thought low band took a dump. The engine rev but no go in low. Turns out the rear wheel was spinning! Not a problem often encountered with 20hp. My 275 lb son hopped in the back and we were off again!

The guy on the left drew the short straw? Normally that would suck but not in this case! They saw the hairy buffalo on rollerskates later that day.

Well I wanted to post a couple more photos but the inteweb had other ideas. Yes snow is good when grandkids are concered!

After 5 inches of snow, I went to work and shoveled out an 1800 sqft house I am building. Walls up, ready for trusses. BAD! I know some have to put the T up for winter due to cold, salt,ect... I have to keep mine at the ready. Living in the country and on a gravel road meens no salt. Lots of open pa...

Thats right! Then you get your own place when you realize there is snow at "your" house!

Who is Art?

5 inches of new snow, 20 degrees with windchill of 7. Our A/C wont see action till June!

Thank you Hank for taking time to document this and other how to's. I know it takes alot of time to do this with taking and posting photos along with the naritive. On this forum it will be available for future reference. 90% of my knowledge of T's come from the forum and its members. The other 10% i...

Total white here Bud. The wind makes measuring tough. Guessing 3 or more inches with more tonight. Been loading some ammo this afternoon for just that day.

Same here Tim. I run 50-50 in all the vehicles year round. Nice not to have to worry about it. Pleanty of other things like stock tanks and garden hoses to remember in the north. Good reminder Phillip!

I dont need the Almanac today to know winter is coming!

4-6 today and more tonight. Yup, winter is coming.
Nomally 40's and 50's this time of year. Calling for 9 degrees by wedneday.

They made everything for the model T. Im sure they made a running board clamp on cup holder.

I should read more careful. Switch has been repaced.

Have you checked the switch? Had that trouble with my TT. Bad contact in the switch was the problem. Just a thought.

Rustphillia can be a genetic thing or inherited. Sometimes it is passed on through contact with others that happily have the affliction. I have found it most enjoyable and being around others that have it is the best treatment to keep it in check.

Burger, thats junkitis for sure! Ive got it, had it for years with no ill health effects. It does however bother the misses because she knows there is no cure. Junkitis and Rustphilia go hand in hand.

Man, that thing is cool! Now I want a speedster . THANKS SHANE! THANKS ALOT!

" Wining" works?

Walter, Bremen is not far away from me. 30 miles? Im no expert but willing to help if I can. The advice here on the forum is very good. Dont be overwhelmed by all the suggestion. Take one at a time and check it off the list.

Oh ya Bud. Wagon load in the barn keeping me warm. Working outside framing a big house in below normal temps. "Bone chilling close to record cold" as the news says! Just another fall day at work to me. 22 this morning and 11 next wednesday. Sure feels warm when I come home from work. Hope all is wel...

A bear rear print ? Your neighbors should wear pants to sit down!

Keeps the corn burning Bud?

My wood cab TT with 32x4 1/2 tires out back, 9 ft wood bed and wood cab tops out about 40mph. Very stock rebuilt engine 5:1 gears in the rear and Chicago 3 speed. 20-25 is where I run it cause it " feels right". Pretty heavy rig with all new wood and large bed. Dont use overdrive much as she whines ...

Not quite that old Jeff. Just my mind!

Thats why new cars cost too much ?

I have thought about the T every day this month ! Does that count ?

Sure is shiney for an old used truck ! From outside you would never know.

I grew up in the loud stereo days Jeff. Problem was my 53 chev was 6 volt. I installed a AM-FM cassete player. I could listen to the radio on FM but tape deck didnt work so good.

20190612_194917.jpg Not original. I hate the led light look at night in the oil lights but with the period reflectors and led's in the oil lights, its very visable at night. Daytime it still has a period look. This photo was taken in the daytime with just the flash from my phone on the reflectors. ...

Thats awesome! I would pay to ride it one round.

Glad I was born in 68, after the boomers. I had to look it up. Im in the " boomer bust" catagory. 65- 84. I wont go on because you fellas have hit it on the head. All I know is we are in big trouble as a nation!

I do not know but am curious why you need a T stat fot your touring ?

That explains alot Dave !

Scott I totally agree about MMO

. After my valve job this spring, It suffered sticking valves. The stuff does work. After the treatment it has ran great all summer.

26-27 roadster-touring ?

To make it go further Rich, try it thinly spliced.

Handles like it was on rails !

Zero emissions ? NOT !
