Can anyone shed some light on why some headlight lens rims have Ford script and others have Ford/Brown script? I assume Ford script is more common? How rare is Ford / Brown script?

Is the center one still available or have you sold it since June? Bob P

I'm helping a friend sell one in the Kansas City area if you are interested.

I have a late 1913 engine (#369365) in my 1914 Depot Hack with what appears to be a correct narrow snout crankcase (oil pan w/ 3 dip inspection plate). I removed the radiator and fan to provide good access to the front cover. My original intent was to correct two problems: leaking crankshaft seal an...

You get an A+ for cleverness, but if you don't have a stock "T" cam, that was quite an exercise in futility.

After all valve adjustments were completed, I double checked the valve lash gaps and compared them to the gaps listed within the original manual - all within the range listed!!!

It accommodates a worn cam, but also works with a new standard cam. I figured out an alternate way to use the KRWilson method of adjusting 'valve ti...
