Finally got My 1924 T model Up and running just in time for my daughters wedding. Thanks for this forum and club, and a special Thanks to Dan Hatch for all his help and quick shipment of parts. He never seem to get tired of my phone calls and emails with questions. I still need to go through the rea...

Thanks Joe, no telling how it wound up in there. I’ll put it back For a time when I can get around to going through the transmission- just in case. Now if I can just get that #%!% rod bolt out of There. May try removing the starter and trying to access it Through that hole. Thanks for everyone’s rep...

Yea, the wood seems to be in good shape, I saw some
Powder post Beetle dust on the running boards when I bought it, but no rot anywhere. Interior is good, but is starting to
Rot in a few places.

Here’s a couple pictures of the Coupe. Not too bad shape
For sitting over 20 years.

Under the flywheel. Could someone identify this before
I go any further. The oil pan was already taken off this car
When I purchased it. I tried to add the picture- maybe it will show up. Thanks

Ok. Thanks for the information . I tried the park brake lever what I thought was straight up, but it still wants to pull forward when I turn engine over. It’s been setting awhile with no oil in engine. Maybe once I get pan back on maybe fresh oil will free it up. The valves in block do not have any ...

Wadley is In Alabama. Thanks for all the quick reply’s. I noticed rod caps have had the numbers changed in a couple, one evening had 5 slashes. I do t know why the rod was turned around In #4. I’ve ordered new rings and will probably just hone each hole out to get a fresh wear surface. I’ve not deal...

First off, thanks to folks who kelp this forum running. I just picked up my first Model T , a 1924 Coupe in fair condition with locked engine. Getting a model T has Been a dream of mine since I was a kid. After a few hours of penetrating oil and heat gun, finally got engine freed up. Pulled all four...
