Bummer, isn't working. "No longer available" for me.

That video was really neat Harry! Goll he runs nice!
Happy belated Canada Day to our friends up north.
Happy Fourth of July to our US friends.

No doubt Darel!
I'll hassle a friend if I have time tomorrow/today.

These are gorgeous "studio shots" of lathes! Wow! :-) Have a little chinaman behind me and a Woods Brothers angled-turret under the lean-one. Not good enough to be called lean-to. A couple of not so pretty shots of the two SB lathes here. 465. Down the ways of a 12x6 (they used total bed length, not...

There have been folks that use tapered pins to tighten it all back together if all is well. Worked for them.
My '18 is the same way David. Locally sourced rivets are too small...
Wishing for even more info.

This thread may apply to many other OT steering wheels that give ya the dirty hands treatment!
Good to bring this up again.

Bill, is that 6270 copper gasket in between the 6269 tube and the cast iron-Hot Plate Cover (the bowl holder)? If so, I need to get in touch with someone we know. I didn't really like the connection between the tube and the hot plate cover ( bowl holder) but went with it and got lucky. I put a file ...

Happy Anniversary!
I've said Happy Adversary to my wife for 35 years. I think...

That 10-32 screw is still a bit of a mystery for me too Mike.

Frank, that'll be really neat!

Wonderful news Tony!

Hehehe! Willie...
Susanne, you are so right. Ya can almost smell the shop!
My kids like the smell of the grudge and of the old motor-grader running.
FJ, don't say a thing. I know you won't.

"FOUND what I need

"
Wahtja find sir?

That's just plain cool Hal!
Gosh, they look so young!

Itchin' for more Scott.
Ya, these T's can be a bit snug for us taller guys.
Looks great!

Ron, the points are fine. You can refinish them so you can see yourself. Wait. Buy the best you can there too. Condenser or ballast. I sure am not happy with even the Bosch (Turkey-built) condensers lately. Wishing for an orange-drop capacitor for a T and another piece of machinery here as it all go...

Let us know what you find Mike.

Seepy shut-off Mark? Sounds right.

Some of my axles look like that with rough cuts taken, boring those sleeve-surface inside diameters. Certainly no expert at all but I'd say quite normal. Guys? When my best axle tubes came back from getting cooked out, there was a bunch of dry crud left in the tubes, I grabbed a piece of 1/4 or 5/16...

Nice photo Doc!

Our photographer was busy that day. I probably have them too Wayne. Find 'em? Hah! Good luck. :) One photo of that scene makes a young lady look as tho she only has one leg since she wiggled. BEST of the 2 or 3 Rich! Did shroppy have them back then? I'm glad you posted that! Dirty T with Diddle Didd...

Yesss!
Thanks Doc!

Oh crap! His voluminous archives have been my go-to.
And I lip-off at every chance to encourage newb's to go there for a digital manual.

I wish Adrian! :) Grey 038 likely came up the Soo Line rails on a flat car, got rolled or driven off the loading dock in Kensington and lived/worked out side of town until I got him. He's about 20 clicks away from there now. Nice tractor. Tossed a rod once too. Life got in the way with him but worki...

And Ignacio? How's that T running?

Ding! Dave nailed it to the wall! Cheap starts!
I should note that the '24 Dizzy hand start will usually go in two or three pulls.
Depending on which of the low to near no compression cylinders are lined up where.

A SPRAY rattle can Steve... Sorry, just kidding. :) I used black beauty for 1918. Kidding again. Shoot, I painted mine and the sliding/moving parts just scrape it bare anyhow. Van Sickle is my absolute favorite for any. If I had a vat of brake/carb cleaner to dip these springs in and then some Japan...

Never smelled the smell except for a new milwaukee (chink-sorry china) drill that smelled of burnt plastic as soon as ya run it.
JB, I have some of those nut drivers and a Stanley screwdriver too! They look terrible.
Scott, same here.

This OK Adrian?
Keep 'em coming gentlemen. We are T yet we tractor! Neck deep or worse here. Bloop, bloop, bloop. (over the head)

My Baby Twin-Cam Boys. 1928 17-28's. #26038 Grey on the right and #26068 Rusty on the left. Yep! Blessed to have 30 serials apart.
What a crummy pic.

To smell liver and onions is one thing. Yummy!
To actually try it? Dry...
My feeble attempt. A sign I printed, a long time ago... Hanging on my wall.

That's neat! I like to see a parts tags still on the part.

Yessss! More to come!
Nice ride Scott. Just getting caught up today!

Just ribbin' ya Jim: Imagine that, a race mechanic working on a model T. ;) A wrench gets a model T ready to go in one page on the forum. And may still like the Vaporizer carb! :) Oh yeah, fresh coils will knock your socks off. Vroom! Such a fun thread to read in my madness! OT treasures I'm fiddlin...

You figured it Don. ;) Free starts! For me with the 18: I just turn the switch ON, pull the choke and hit the starter for a couple compressions and it's running. Once warmed up, he seems to enjoy giving some free starts. I smarted off to some lady riders after I simply turned the switch ON and it wa...

No, no. Say it ain't so. You're actually putting the other front seat in?

That view "of the tunnel" is priceless.
Maybe the only way for me, in and out.

Awarded "Best Ever Thread" according to me too. Or was that just in my mind...

VERY interesting video Terry!
Thank you.
More great info for us non compliant carb users.
I have two good running NH's here also for the easily offended.

Yesss!
Thanks Tony! Wonderful video!

Yesss!
What the Sam Hill happened to the door?
Don, what's in the box?
Looking fantastic.

I like the guy with shorts and leggings looking over your car.

A model T guy/car is never out of place in my mind. Just different, with attitude.
Cool!

What Scott said! Wow.
Keep the information coming. These guys will get it.

:lol: Why yes, yes we do! Beautiful floorboard in that pic! Thankfully, only T people Know What The Shadow Knows. Funky, that's playing on the local radio tonight right now. Only the few know what the shadow knows. ;) Dare I do this Mike? From the far side. Please don't wretch. Our favorite T (24 Ru...

Heck, I'd like to see the 50's Jubilee that nearly took one our friend's leg off. Holy cats! A Russell 6? What a little sweety! Good friends have a Russell 30-90 and that's a real sweetheart too! That AOS JD? Cool. Ooh la la. A Two Ton Cat! It's a tractor after all. Cool. :) Oh man, this world is to...

My drool dried from my keyboard.
Thank you gentlemen.
OR
That was freaking awesome!!!
Depending.

Mr Dewey, I find it therapeutic and useful too, no matter the material. Duey. :) Susanne, me neither. Not very good at it with some castings. If they're sharp edged? Presto. Nice gasket. ;) Too darned busy, cheap, lazy and short on materials to make punches (gosh they're cheap to buy too) sometimes ...

Lotsa nice goodies!

Happy Birthday Darel!

And how about Michael in Russia? He may also know some people close by to him.

If ya drizzle caramel on top!

I too prefer cork in some places and have made my own forever. Especially tin covers of any kind but I seldom use sealant.
Head down to your favorite parts store also for cork rolls.

I have a file somewhere bout the TT's. Info is a bit limited.
Brad, would you show a close-up pic or two of "hanging" the rear cushion up on the back wall? Thank you.
Looks great!

Awesome trip!
Goll I don't like bridges tho.

The Light Keeper's house is fantastic.

VERY cool stuff FJ!
That Tudor is beautiful! Wonderful people!

That's good news Bob!

Nice score on the used stand Scott.

Pat, cute 12-20? in the background.

Adrian, I got the F-14 running with the help of a fuel pump kit, even posted a few youtube clips.
Next day, it refused to start and it threw my back out... Enough. Back to work on the Twin City.
Guides, valves and springs. 70-80 pound heads!

Oof.
Bummer.
Go after 'em.

Been a long time since I last stopped in this thread.
Rich, you've been busy!
Aleesa, that was pretty dang funny!
Wonderful!

Welcome to this side of the forum Jim!

Found a few more of my brand and our brand.

John's second paragraph summed it up.

On a lighter note: Ya, if your dad had a little time with the seller? Sold.

Pssstt. Bill. Ssshhh. They're Twin City tractors. Don't tell anyone.

I won't.

That 15 sold for way more than anticipated but it is a 15. Pretty elusive. Easier to tip over.
Lots O big money there!

Holy cats!
I watched that sale for my brand of OT and never saw that depot hack!

WTH? How'd you get those perches out? That's neat!

Yikes, Susanne!

Oh boy I guess. Old wooden floors and oil. Mmmm, :) Reminds me of Milwaukee 1992. Thanksgiving weekend in a rope making factory... Near coolest place ever. Machinery all around us. Machine shop on the third floor. We got the steam engine and have made rope for years at the show. We even held Mike A'...

Absolutely cool story Scott! I'll bet I talked to Bill real close to then also. Had to call back twice and assure him my new lathe only had a three digit serial. Helen must've been at the front or parts desk too as she's on a note. Second call: A book was pulled out, the pages turned and he found my...

Watching this closely Tim! :) Bob, how's the jiggle factor on that angle/hinge mount mirror? I like that. Tim, I did mount a mirror to one of the windshield bracket bolts on the Crappy '24. Solid as a rock. I won't show. It's part of an early 80's white GM rectangle pickup mirror. :oops: I really sh...

This is a very interesting thread.

Just dawned on me Herb! The International truck of Lammert's Furniture on May 21st is what the chassis of my '28 used to/is supposed to look like! SF-24 or something... Very cool!
Adrian: Cool (AR) and Hehehe (F-14)!

Pretty dang cool!

Pretty cool Mike!

If I may Steve: Cleaned every single fuel line on that little bxxxx last night and today. Found much more yuck. Fuel tank is fairly clean. Fairly. Hit a snag on a fuel line tonight. A rust hole. Was hoping to test the pump rebuild and what-not on the morrow but not to be. Yo, Adrian (if anyone catch...

Rich, that White Motor Co post on Monday about knocked me over.
Very, very cool. Lucky young man.

More to look at!
Herb, I need to look and see where MN's French rail car is/was at...

Even if taboo and my post out of place, would you post a pic of your pump Ron? Perhaps the guys will have more info to go by. :) I have a crappy pump on my wore out Crappy 24 Runabout with an OLD radiator and that particular pump doesn't impede water flow when shut down. Never a gurgle. Even after p...

Man, you guys are tough. You can handle 100 degree ambient temperatures!
It's 76 outside and that's blinking warm.

Me too. That first trip down my hill... Yikes!
Darn thing felt like it was alive.
That car has been in your family the whole time? That's cool!

Look at that. Ya drag a T indoors, even without an engine block, and it starts leakin' oil!

I know this is OLD.
Is there a Portuguese pack?
We have friends in the southern hemisphere (Brazil/Argentina) that love these T's and IF I'm correct, their prime language is Portuguese?
Thanks for this consideration Chris.

I told my riders "He likes you!".

Hubba hubba Tim!
Yes, looks like a great day.
Beautiful Fords!

Shoot. I'm gonna ask...
Which hinges: Door? Fuel tank cover? Trunk?

Late fuel tank door on top?

Yep, if that sucker is bent up at all, it'll flex.
I was so poor, I welded two together to make one and it's solid as steel.
Those buggers will flex
Keep us in the loop.

Darryl, would you keep me in mind also for two!
I have never seen anything like that! Very cool!

Oh no. I know how this is going to turn out... A Dr's Speedster... Ignacio, this'll just dig up controversy. :lol: Eh hem. I can't wait to see any progress here! I'm up to my neck in OT things so you're gonna get me again on a speedster project! Like the axle project... Hehehe! I'm gonna be very hap...

Yeehaw! That's looks really cool!

Thanks much!

Looking good Jim! I'm so danged happy you tore into that Vaporizer carb and made it work for crank starts! (You have been reading... Cool.) Before half the fellas stating that you should put an NH on instead... My old truck has a Vapo-rub carb and has started quite good on the crank every time I ask...

And a single front wheel Adrian! Cool.

Hey! Your heat control works on your manifold! Well, it's forward to HOT anyway. You burn just gas (petrol) or Diesel?
I have an old friend that just loves his Allis for mowing his yard.

Shoot, up here the attorney general even imposed a $33,000 fine on wrong doers of covid gatherings. The state could've made some serious cash lately...
Sad and embarrassing.

Uff da. No fun Terry.

Thank you for that Ray. Real Americans of any age will always remember.
I have never seen that letter before. Was in Normandy some years ago in Arromanche and on point du Hoc.
Today in '42 was the second day of the battle of Midway and would last another two days. We busted their chops in the Pacific.

Wait a second Dave. You've had a hair cut already! Else your hair don't grow...

No way Dallas. I've... Never mind... Been close... Still here!

Dave, I have an Elm branch imposing on a pine tree. Would you stop over?

Shoot, I might be more excited than you! Itchin' to see how you fare!

Well now If you all aren't gonna post anything more, I will. Yes, it's late. Yes, this all is getting to me. Gotta stay busy otherwise.
Hal, my barber is cutting again! Looks great!
Ahhh.
Hi folks, from central MN!
EDIT: Wayne, thank you for starting this. Your cut sure wasn't bad!

My grandson's were in the box of the modern pickup many times after school last fall. On private properties no less. They prefer to climb on up and in. Fresh air and the world at their fingertips. I worried at first about being turned in and then the middle fingers on both of my big hands started ge...

Richard, any of these guys mentioned will do good justice to a set of coils. :) Brent, thank you for what you do and Bill, I believe that's what I paid also. Cheap. In the long term. Blew me away too when I put some HOT coils in the box from Andy Loso up here! Need to drop some more on his deck... I...

Yeehaw Bob! Good to hear!

Never saw that comfortable man live. Lucky you Don!

Looks like a little bantom A compared to the Touring!

Shoot, I even overpaid in Two Thousand Sixteen for my new lot. Don't care. Money is a renewable resource! ;) You offered help Stan. That's all we can do. Oilybill that's a really neat story! The joy of learning a model T Ford is absolutely priceless. Then we get another and it's a whole new animal a...
