I am missing the March 1913 book, sorry. Dan

dang.1922

I looked in my patent books and the dates the patents were granted jumps from March 6 to March 13 there are no listings for March 11. I have almost all the patent books from 1872 to 1973. The books go by year and month. Please check the date and I will try to help. Dan

Nice Parker wheel, I have a set on our 1921 T and they work well.

dang.1922

I am running APCO rear brakes on our 1921 roadster pickup and when adjusted correctly they work very well.

dang.1922

I got with a bunch of Model T parts this Case Rim Tool (as marked on the one handle), anyone ever seen one or know how to use it. Thanks for any information. Dan

dang.1922

Thank You Dan for the information, it seems to have worked and stayed on. Dan

dang.1922

Has anyone ever encountered this type of grease cap? I am assuming that it is an old accessory and not something currently manufactured. Dan

Thank You for the information Allan. Dan

Allan the tyres have shrunk a little (1”), what process did you use to stretch them? Thanks Dan

dang.1922

Looks just like my tires. Dan

dang.1922

Thank You for the information, it lets me know how old they are. Dan

dang.1922

I found one other number on them (101089) which I am assuming it is the date they were made. When I unwrapped them they had the rubber flash still on the tread from when they molded them. Dan

I have set of new 30x3 1/2 tires that haven’t any markings on them except that they say made in Australia and the size. Before I mount them on the rims does anyone have any information or thoughts on them as to the quality of the tires. Thanks Dan

Thank You all for the information, pictures and the story about Howard’s wheels. I would like to have known him and listened to his stories. I am trying to get some information from Dayton Wire Wheel on the early years of the company to see if they acquired or got the rights to make or sell the Perr...

dang.1922

Thank You Craig and Dan, this year’s Hershey is where we got the wheels (in the Red field) and I looked at the single cast spoked wheel but I had already spent Way too much money to justify another wheel. I have found some Perry literature and the SAE tests they did on the wheels in 1915 but I haven...

dang.1922

Ok, since we have a set of these wheels what is the cement mixer story??? Dan

dang.1922

Thank You for the information, I will look for Parker information. I did find out that they were from Cleveland Ohio and maybe Dayton got the rights to make them or bought them out.

DCCC07DF-99B7-4D3F-931A-835D104A16EB.jpeg We got these 4 wheels at Hershey this year, the all steel hub and spokes are a one piece unit with the rim held on with 8 lugs. After cleaning them up, inked under the bearing hub I can make out Dayton and what looks like the word spoke and wheel co. I had ...

Thank You all for your information, that is what I thought it was but the twist on the jaws made me wonder. ——dan

dang.1922

What is the use for this puller? It looks like the spring perch pusher but the jaws are twisted to go around something. Thanks for any help. ---dan

I am lining a set of Apco rear external bands and would like to know the thickness of the material to use. How thick is Rocky Mountain lining? I am thinking 3/16 would be about correct, any thoughts? Thanks ——Dan

Thank You for the information on the drums, a friend of mine had an extra one so I am set to go. ---Dan

dang.1922

One of my drums is cracked and I have never picked up any used ones to have around. I thought I would try the venders first before looking for a used one. Dan

dang.1922

Is anyone making the small rear drums, the vendors tell me that they are discontinued now. Thank You—-Dan

dang.1922

The amount of wear bothered me also, so while I am in there I am going to replace the bushing and take a fuzz cut off the shaft to clean it up. The pinion bearing had a spacer between the thrust bearing (old style thrust bearing) and a thin one between gear and bearing, the books do not show the thi...

dang.1922

Thank You for your input. Dan

dang.1922

When I took apart the drive shaft to inspect it I found it has a Babbitt bearing in it at the ujoint. The Babbitt looks good and has no cracks, it is also tight in the tube, the ID is with in .010 of the shaft OD, the shaft has very little wear at the bearing surface and the thrust is with in .008. ...

dang.1922

I have 2 Chicago transmissions and the cases are different. The input shaft bearing bore is larger on one. Both use the same bearing in the center. Bearings were still available last fall, and I think that bearing is the same as the cluster gear bearings. Dan

dang.1922

Thank You Dan and Tracer, I will cross those numbers to metric. Tim, I sent you an email about the transmission strap.---Dan

dang.1922

Thank You all for your reply's. What I have is 2 transmissions, both have the Bock tapered roller bearings in them. They are different as one is made fore 2 u joints (front and rear) and the other just uses a rear joint and has a square shaft in the front that goes directly in to the Ford trans. Wha...

dang.1922

I have a Chicago Mark-E transmission and would like to know if anyone would have the modern numbers for the tapered roller bearings in it. They are Bock bearings and no one seems to be able to ID them. Thank You for any help. Dan

dang.1922

Thank You All for your information, I never thought of using a ball in the tapered bore for getting the correct size, I will do just that. I turned a taper on a piece of round stock up and machined a 1/4 in. keyway in it to use as a mandrel to broach the key slot in the new sprockets. ----Dan Greger

dang.1922

I am working on a Farm Tractor Co. of Fond Du Lac Wi. conversion and I am building the rear roller sprockets ( I have one 4 roller original for a pattern). I have the rough taper machined in and would like to know if anyone makes a finish taper reamer for the bore? Thank You for any help. Dan Greger

dang.1922

Thank You all for the reply's, this helps a lot. Now it is time for the interesting part to just see how bad it is inside, when I sucked some oil out of the fill hole it had a lot of Babbitt in it. ---Dan

dang.1922

I am getting ready to start disassembly on the rear end in our 1921 T. I would like to know the size of the hole in the bench top axle holder as I am going to make one. Thank You for any help. ----Dan Greger

dang.1922

Thank You Dan for the information, I have been looking for anything about a bed like this for a long time and found nothing. A friend of mine found this when we first got the roadster and I traded for it. It was on a T roadster frame that someone cut off at the front body mounts and bent in to make ...

I have an all metal aftermarket bed that I installed on our 1922 roadster, and would like to know who and what year it was made. I have looked at many pictures of accessory beds and have not seen an all metal one. This is not a dump bed and it is a factory made one for the earlier Model T's. Any inf...

dang.1922

Steve, Thank You for explaining how the tire size is converted, I have a car with 33X6 tires and never understood how they said a 600-21 will fit.---dan

dang.1922

Thank You for all the reply's. The new shield's I.D. is a little too small to fit on the cam shaft and the O.D. is a 1/16" too small to fit correctly so the timer will hold it, into the brass scrap it goes. I want to see if I can do better than the reproduction shield so I am making a die set that w...

dang.1922

I removed my timer to clean it up and the shield was missing, after buying one and trying to install it I would like to know if it is held tight on the cam shaft and spins with it, if so I will have to turn the outside dia. down so it does not rub the timer or do I enlarge the inside dia. in the shi...
