1917 Chevrolet 490 roadster

Looks like maybe a 1906 REO.

Could be Walker electric trucks

Hi,
I've sent you an e-mail through this site also. Please put me down for (1) label. Thanks

Just for information:
Regarding: leatherplates.com. Steve Hammatt, who ran that business just recently passed, so that service is no longer available. Steve was a very nice guy, who loved to talk brass and classic cars with everyone.

Looks like a 1905 Franklin.

Did you mean " F O B" or "Free on Board", or "Freight on Buyer"?

this is the formula for the PPG= Deltron 2000 blue, which is the Mercedes-Benz midnight bluel
The typed numbers are for (1) qt of base color. It mixes 1:1 with reducer for spray application. Apply over G-7 (almost black sealer)

I forgot to add: DBC mixes 1 to 1 with reducer, so (1) qt of base equals (2) qts sprayable.

The top formula is for PPG- DBC base coat, which must be clear coated. This is for mixing a qt. The hand written values are for a pint. This is the color for 1911 through 1913 US Fords.

It's expensive. Hope this helps.

not a grass barn. Just loose hay stored in a large stack.

Hi Rudy and Michael. I've attached 2 photos of the optional "land wheel drive" on the Big Bull. In early 2019, Aumann Auctions sold a Big Bull from the late Alan Schurman auction in Woodland, Washington. It also had the land wheel drive on it. At the time, they noted they had not seen a Bull with th...

One more shot of the Big Bull's 2 cylinder engine. It's currently stuck, but all complete. To start it, you stick the hand crank through the spokes of the left/rear land wheel. I have no idea what you do if you happen to shut it down and the wheel spoke blocks the shaft where the hand crank slips in...

Thought I would share my latest old tractor find. This was just a couple months ago, during our heat wave out in the PNW. I dug this out of an old quansot hut at a former dairy farm about 50 miles from my place. I had heard rumors of it and decided to chase them down, because you just never know if ...

I have two brothers and a sister. We must have been abused kids because my parents bought each of us a new car for our sixteenth birthdays. My sister got a new 1970 Pontiac GTO, 455 ci, automatic. My older brother got a new 1970 Plymouth Superbird, 440 ci, 4sp. I got a new 1971 Plymouth Roadrunner, ...

This is my 1912 Waterloo Boy 2 1/2 hp.

Wow, that line up is what tractor collector's dreams are made of. I think I can identify most of them. Here goes, from front to rear; 30-60 Rumely Oilpull E 30-60 Rumely Oilpull E 30-60 Hart Parr 45 Mogul 30-60 Aultman & Taylor 30-60 Aultman & Taylor Twin City 40 40-80 Avery 30-50 Flour City 35-70 M...

Is that a 20-40 G, or 16-30 H? Very nice. I like those heavy weight Oil Pulls.

Here's some of mine;

1901 Russell 6hp steamer and 1928 Allis Chalmers 20-35 1937 John Deere AOS. In the background, there's a 1939 Allis Chalmers B (on full steel),a 1920 Titan [IHC] 10-20 Kerosene tractor, a 1926 John Deere spoker D, and a 1929 John Deere General Purpose.

Try Olson Gaskets in Port Orchard, WA.

Someone asked where the crank is on the Schacht. It hangs out the rear of the car. They're a 2 cylinder, apposed, friction drive.

Looks like a 1910 or so Schacht.

I've been helping a friend restore his 1958 Porsche 356 Speedster. After having the metal work (rust repair) done and bodywork, I started in on it a couple months ago, working in my spare time and weekends, to get it painted, so he can finally start assembly. Here's 2photos taken this evening, ready...

You can also get them from Olson's Gaskets

Ken, your Fordson is most likely an Irish Fordson, built in Cork, Ireland and orange would be the correct and original color. I think when production was moved from Cork, Ireland, to Dagenham, England, is when they because blue with orange wheels, though I'm no expert on this. To date your tractor v...

Possible industrial or tractor use. I have (2) 1928 Allis-Chalmers which use Kingston L-3 carburetors. They look different than this one, but much larger than car ones. My A-C's have about a 409 C.I. 4 cylinder for example.

I know Bob very well.

If you just looked at the photos on the auction listing, you would not have known about the engine. I went to the open house and saw the car up close. They had the left side of the hood open, which as you know for that year, doesn't show the serial number, nor much about it. When I opened the right ...

I think someone got a good deal on the 1911 touring. The auction's description didn't do the car any justice and they only showed a photo of the left side of the engine. Had they shown the right side, bidders would have seen it was an open valve engine and a six rivet rearend. With exception of the ...

You can also get these straps and leather pieces from; "Antique Auto Top Hardware Company. The owner is Kim Dawson- very helpful and knowledgeable. Address is: 30688 S. Marian St, Molalla, Oregon 97038. Phone is: 503-824-5888 He has his catalog on a website which is: www.antiqueautotophardware.com.

Here's two suggestions; Britten Brass Works, in Michigan. His work is absolutely stunning, but expensive. Classic Autopart Reproduction Service in N. Calif. I've never used his services myself, but heard good reports. You can google both to get contact information or to talk with them personally.

The second car (which they're working on) looks like a 1907 Pope-Hartford model L

I will be bringing a top assembly (1915?) which may fit your bill, along with a Buddy L Red Baby toy, Buddy L cement mixer and some other brass era parts. We'll be next to Steve Hammatt, the Leather License Plate Guy............

Try Lucas Tire. They had them in stock. I bought a set and they seem fine.
