Have to remember that the Canadian bodies were made by Fisher starting 1912. It is very hard to find any documentation showing when Fisher started to use Robertson screws on the bodies they made. More than one original Canadian 1914 body seen has a combination of slotted and Robertson screws. As the...

PM sent re:dash bracket

Hi,
Recently, dug this out of the shed.
Included are the markings on a counterbalance crankshaft. Does anyone have an idea who made this?

thanks

Ford of Canada accessories literature AD714 shows the gauge available as an option. So, this should of been available for your ancestors down under to put on their Ford. I think the design of the sender was similar to the 1932-34ish Fords. The gauge itself was a glass tube with a dyed liquid vs the ...

Included are photos of the accessory Kirstin Gage (dash mount). The parts catalogue spells it "Kirston". The accessory literature describes it as either air pressure or float. This unit looks like air pressure. Anyone have any experience with this type of gauge and it's operation? thanks Kevin kirst...

Hi,

1) there are 36 teeth on the hub.

2) Included is a photo of the Frayer / Phelps hub cap.

attachment didn't work, trying again.

OK, it's the PASCO with the locking nut and reverse thread hub cap.

Time to venture back to the shed and dig through those extra wire wheels sitting there. I have three Budd wheels with hubs and looking to swap for PASCO wheels. Wheel centres are OK rims fair to unusable. One left side hub and hub cap One right side hub and hub cap (reverse thread) One left side hub...

Time to venture back to the shed and dig through those extra wire wheels sitting there. I have one Hayes front hub with no spokes or rim. Looking to swap for a PASCO wheel.

Figure to swap at fall Hershey as any kind of shipping for these things is getting pricey.

Time to venture back to the shed and dig through those wire wheels sitting there. I have two Houk and looking to swap for PASCO. Wheel centres are OK rims fair. I think the Houks are Model 2 see measurement on photo. Figure to swap at fall Hershey as any kind of shipping for these things is getting ...

Time to venture back to the shed and dig through those wire wheels sitting there. I have one Frayer / Phelps dental drive and looking to swap for PASCO. Wheel centre is OK rim fair. The hub has damage with a build up of brazing to repair it. Figure to swap at fall Hershey as any kind of shipping for...

Another idea.
How about wedging in a copper pipe/tube of the correct diameter. Then MIG/arc weld a bead along the rough edge to build it up. Pull out the copper then die grinder or whatever to finish it off.

This has got to be one of the most unique Model TT accessories ever made. The driver has to carefully align the setup with the buried valve. There is an odometer type counter on the shaft to confirm the number of turns open or close. Note: this is on a Canadian chassis with the horn button on top of...

Looks like a late teens or early 20's Gendron made in Toronto.

HI, Included is an original photo of the Messenger's on a car in Fort William, Ontario. As you can see the hub caps stick way out so they are very prone to breaking off when going too close to a garage door or whatever. Windsor records show the following around 1920/21: Messenger Wheel Co. Ltd. 89 O...

Patent drawing.
All sorts of creative ideas. Anyone have any original photos like this one?

Hi Gary, I too think these signs are a fascinating part of automotive history. Included is a copy of an article (Old Autos newspaper) about the company. By chance is there a street address for the company? take care, Bill CONVEX ELECTRIC SIGN “Sign, sign, everywhere a sign Blockin' out the scenery, ...

trying the photos again

Included are photos of a Made in Canada block SN C217129. Note this is the later style casting Part number 3000C cast 9-2-19 two months before the New Zealand block. So, chances are for the Right Control motors with the belt driven generator Ford of Canada used the non-starter cylinder Part number 3...

100 years ago William Crapo Durant purchased 60% of Fisher Body from the Fisher Brothers. Does anyone know when in 1919 this occurred? Ford Detroit was purchasing bodies from Fisher. Any idea what body styles? So, all of a sudden a conflict here. Henry wouldn’t be happy with this scenario, Ford Moto...
