Re: Amp Meter discharge, but no charge?

I have the exact same problem. New rebuilt generator from Langs, new VR from Jeff, new wiring and repro ammeter. Going down the road I get +5 but when I turn the headlights on it shows -10. Do I dare advance the 3rd brush any more?

Re: Fuel Problem?

My 26TT does the same thing only on flat roads when the throttle is wide open. Backing off the throttle a little solves the problem but also slows you down. It has a rebuilt NH carb. Some days it runs like a dream. Guess I need to try one of Scott's valves.

Re: Grandpa's TT

No I did not get to ride in it just drove it a million miles sitting in one place. It has a 1947 license plate on it which is 3 years before I was born. It came with a spare engine (which is all totally torn down) I assume this was the original engine. It has a two speed rear end and a third lever t...

Grandpa's TT

remove rear brake drum

I can't remove the brake drum from the rear hub of my 26 TT, I am new at this. The other one came off easy. I have tried WD40 and a hammer then a bigger hammer, some heat but it won't budge. HELP.

Re: hauling tt truck

Thanks for the information. I didn't know if hauling it on the spokes would do any damage. I know I will have to rebuild the wheels anyway.

hauling tt truck

My grandpa gave me his 1926 tt truck almost 60 years ago but never had a place to store it so I could restore it until now. I need to haul it 400 miles. It has no tires or rims just sitting on the wooden spokes. Any suggestions?
