So im just about finished with the differential and drive shaft but i was wondering what do yall use for grease for the bearings and such. I was wondering because i have seem to run out pf grease and is there any dpecific one that is best for the bearings on the model t?

They came out of the cases fun and all seems to turn well while cases are attached to the differential also. And yes the springy thingsmajigs are in pretty good condition just like most of the parts.

Nope my dad helped me through. He’s the aircraft mechanic and that’s where I’m learning how to do a lot of this stuff.

Got done safety wiring my ruckstell and it’s now time to start painting the cases and putting it back together. I got the differential together but I just wanted to make sure I didn’t put anything together wrong or such Thanks!

Im finally finishing the rear axle and differential of my ruxlsetll but I need to know what sizes of cotter pins are used throughout the car and namely in the rear axle? Also is there different sixes of cotter pins for a ruckstell? Thanks.

The roller bearing on my driveshaft is stuck inside the spool. Is there any specific way to get it out? Something is blocking its way out the front of the spool and I know it’s supposed to be able to come out but i don’t know how to take it.

Thanks guys I ended using a bolt, three washers, and a nut to build the tool. The spring came off like a charm and have now finished cleaning up the rear axle spring and all the hassled parts.

Cheers.

I have finally finished the front axle and the rear axle spring on my roadster. All my parts came in variable assembly and the rear axle is separated but with the tires still on. I can’t figure out a way with the tools I have to take it out. It is surprisingly stiff in there. Ps. I don’t have any wh...

I genuinely don’t know how to remove the Hassler shocks from my rear axle. I finally finished the front axle and now im on the rear axle. I really can’t disassemble the rear clean until I get the spring assembly off. I don’t know if I have the tools to do so since I got this from a third party compl...

So far i have not been able to find a decently cheap way to paint parts. Not exterior but the internal parts themselves. Any ideas for pretty cheap paint or also primer would be great!

Thanks Mustang 64‘s that makes a lot more sense

Re: Dan Hatch it was separated at the time we took the pictures

So I am confused about 4 different parts on my 1922 roadsters front axle. When I got the old parts, this is how it came assembled. I have redone the parts but am still co fused if they go like that? It is the parts that attach to the front axle spring(where it went when I got it) and attached to the...

So I finally disassembled my front axle and have taken all the old grease off. My question is what is the be at way to remove paint on these old parts. Most aren’t very rusty, but still have the old paint on them. What tool should I go about to clean the paint off?

I recently got a broken down old Ford Model T. The rust isn’t horrendous by any sorts, but I would like to clean it all off. I could use a sand blaster or a hand sander(for drill) To clean it off. Which one should I use or any better options? Also, is their any good paints for the internal parts tha...
