Here you are Art. Like Jerry said. The elongated ‘rivet’ appears about 1/8” from both sides of the hinge - with the pin evidently being inserted from the left and right side.

Oh, now I see the pictures ! It looks a whole lot nicer than what I pictured in my mind’s eye. Wood wheels look nice / tires hold air. I agree with $500.

Depends….if it transitioned from a 1914 or before T, I pay $600. If from a ‘20s something, I’d pay $50. But, if it fits in with another hobby (old tractor), I’d pay up for it. I once bought a Model T hay wagon maintained outside in a fairly arid climate. Bought it for the man’s price - $25. Had nice...

I’m halfway to you from the Left Coast. I’d sell one for $30 but it would cost the same to FedEx it.

That’s it Dan ! That’s exactly what I need ! I’ll definitely get those CDs if that kind of information is found. April 4 and June 11,1914 was the Accessions I was looking for. Many thanks

Thank you Dan. I’ll send for Bruce’s set of 2 CDs. I used to have the Accession dating the end of aluminum crank handles in 1914 and the introduction of cast iron crank handles. I believe it was in April 1914. Bruce’s Encyclopedia on our site is vague when it states for 1914, “Aluminum formed handle...

Henry Lee said “The rounded trim is actually for boats.”
Not so fast Hank. Here is an example of quite a bit of rounded trim I acquired off a salvaged 1910-1911 REO.

Friends,… I’ve researched to the best of my limited ability to find Accession ‘scriptures’ on the I Net - to no avail. Specifically I/we should be interested in production changes during the Model T era. How difficult must it be to computerize this ? Or has it already been done ?

Don,… There exists a number of “TT experts” on this Forum. I’d recommend you start a new thread here titled something akin to ‘Heres What We Have, Whatsit Worth’? Then describe the TT -With Pictures- and you’ll receive many ‘expert’ replies.

Price reduced to $32.50 !!

Very good.. thank you Kurt and Larry. Now to go to the little brass screw drawer. Don’t worry; they won’t be those horrid Phillips head screws….

Spoken for pending payment. Thank you Wayne and MTFCA

I love the wind wings.. an no stinkin isinglass.

Thank you Kurt. So they’re vertical on the right side and horizontal on the left side ? I received some good information from Larry Smith too. Anybody else ?

Welcome home Dave. I’m very sorry you’ve lost quite a bit of family, but gladdened you’ve come back to your Model T family…….

Now thats exhibiting discipline- to not sit on the hood.

Also restored and installed a ‘Thermador’ “swamp cooler” on my ‘50 Ford. Given to me by a TX Panhandle friend where climate is arid and they worked well. Now in a more humid climate and it’s just for looks.
Who remembers these ?

SOLD… thank you David and MTFCA

Thats someone’s beautiful trophy Corey. And it’s been test run on a T engine !

….precise placement of brass Murphy fasteners on a 1914 firewall. I have sheet And cast Murphy fasteners. Presume the latter.. Many thanks

Broke a tooth off 1911 Hupp pinion. Decided to replace rear end internals & driveshaft with Model T ‘guts’. Went from 4:1 ring/pinion to 3.63:1. A new Hupp friend in OR made the adapter plate enabling the T ring gear.

I used 5 dabs of Permatex - 2 at the bottom 2 ends of the rope and 3 spaced evenly. I liked the idea of scotch tape temporarily.

Some KW. Some Ford. Only $50 Gently used. + free delivery lower 48. gwhouse731(at)gmail(dot)com

William, I might have the front socket you’re looking for. It’s part of a broken set and it’s 33” like Mark’s diagram. Heres 2 photos of it leaning against a down pipe on my roof water catchment system. Comments ??

I wholeheartedly agree Michael ! But why won’t you trade Greenland to us for California ?

Frank is educating me/us again ! I didn’t even know there was numbers and letters on the back. Most have a much higher mileage than your illustration tho. But here they are hi-speed wire brushed.

Spoken fer pending $$. Thank you Noel and MTFCA

Once again, see the ‘Diving Helmet’ reflector and vent holes at chimney base ? But this lamp includes a font and operable nickel plated burner WITH a wick. Change out the rim and chimney top to brass to make it a 1915. Only $70 + the ride.. gwhouse731(at)gmail(dot)com

I’m perplexed by photo #12. The coupe with fancy wire wheels that has rope woven through the wheels and tires. The rear wheel has a greater amount of rope and the runningboard baggage implies the T is on a trip. But is it for winter traction ? Thanks for the most interesting photos Tom.

I guess it was back in ‘94 when the wife & I enjoyed the SE corner of Colorado. As I’m a live steam fan, we rode the train from Durango to Silverton. Was told the fireman shoveled nearly 2 tons of coal for the train to increase in elevation into Silverton. No wonder his shoulders seemed 5 feet wide....

…. see the correct ‘diving helmet’ reflector and vent holes at base of chimney. In excellent shape. Steel chimney top makes it a ‘16 but replace it w/ brass for a ‘15. Sandblasted and in primer. For inexpensive ‘restore’, simply mask hamp and paint reflector with Krylon chrome. Only $40 + shipping. ...

… old reproduction. You drill holes. Presumably for 1911-12 but would look great on a speedster or depot hack. Only $40 s&h included lower 48. gwhouse731(at)gmail(dot)com

Interesting era side curtains on that touring in the 2nd photo..
I didn’t realize they offered such visibility back then. Perhaps
‘Canadian sourced’ ?

That was a fun run

Thanks ! And pretty scenery

I’m with you Bryant

I probably have 8-9 frames, rear ends/driveshaft/torque tube/radius rods that I’d let go for $25-$45 each but Won’t scrap them. Wonder how many 1909 engines went into WWII scrap drives ?

Sorry Todd….. I deleted the photos soon as his check cleared.

“I have lost a lot of time waiting to do things the proper way.”

Duncan OK swap meet seemingly had good buyer with cash traffic last March. I made good money there - but mainly on small parts I could sell in USPO flat rate boxes from home. Also drove 6 hours to get there with 7 good T fenders and only sold 1. Also had restored rear taper leaf spring for $200 and ...

And that same wrench is useful in adjusting an NH straight thru. Might even work on an NH humpback too. When I’m ready for a drive, I turn on the gas. Hand crank/choke it 2-3 times, grab my trusty T 2335 out of the toolbox to tap the carb 4-5 times until the stuck needle loosens up. ;o)

…… and chose Here because MTFCI has no Forum (and I’m not on Facebook). Specifically, the excellent and informative article on the 1915 sedan. As a 45 year owner of a ‘19 centerdoor and nearly 60 year Model T hobbiest, I learned a whole lot ! Was surprised to see a dome light this early….magneto lig...

Awww… thanks for the recognition Steve. But I can’t find my calendar now.

Beautiful Springtime rally

I love the multi colors - and the uncommon (to me) body styles. Thanks Allan

Photo #6: three men in the ‘10 or ‘11 touring— A hood with louvers ? and the most unusual front axle shock absorbers. Anybody seen these before ?

Yes; it’s perfectly interchangeable. The 4 Ford TT cab mounting brackets on the frame are the same for a Ford TT enclosed cab and Ford TT C cab.

Nice taut top material Dan, Gorgeous fire truck too. Judging by the building’s ceiling, they both came from the same place. Is there a story here ??

I had a delightful and long telephone conversation with Ben only yesterday. It came about after he left a funny message on my phone earlier in the day. It appears that my ignition switch and ammeter on the rectangular panel will be one of the last few he’ll restore. I encouraged him to find a proteg...

Vern,.. It doesn’t appear to me that your spark plug gap is the cause for your stated T poor performance. Judging by the ‘business end’ photo of the spark plugs, they’re WAY TOO SOOTY’. May I assume they became that way by your stated 6 open revolutions of the fuel/air needle ? Even the adjusted 3 o...

Now zoom in to that photo Wayne. On the far left side of it there stands a large man in a white shirt and light colored pants. Then, on the other side of the car behind the man peering over the fender….. there’s a GHOST IMAGE of the Same large man…..

#1…So the earliest Chippendale show was out of a ‘22 roadster, huh ??

Git him Allan from Down Under ! Terry referred to ‘drivers side’ and ‘passengers side’.

Muy bueno! But adults in the photo are too thin to need that fatman steering wheel. Must send it to me. Thank you for sharing photos.

I watched it until the TT was running on 4 and he had to put out the fire. Interesting.. simplistic… dangerous cranking technique. At first reminded me of my favorite MT show ‘Roadworthy Rescues’…entertaining tho

Terry,… Found 3. Brass/nickel plated originals. No age cracks. All have 4 intact lens clamps. Your choice of 2- $20 each.

Jack up a rear axle. Grab the tire and shake it. Now do the same with the other axle. Tires/wheels should not move at all.

I have a pair of nice original nickel plated rims I’d sell you Terry. Right up the road from you. I’ll send a photo in a few hours….

Thanks to All for the good and pertinent advice. I found a quart and mixed my “shine juice” for a T club activity this week…

It wouldn’t hurt to place a 2x4 on a floor jack and direct it under the oil drain nut to lift the front of the T and make the main spring oil hole more accessible. I’ve done this for years and nothing is hurt. It’s very quick and efficient too.

I, too, am thankful you weren’t injured Austin and am sorry your touring was damaged. But I’m afraid our culture is experiencing a decrease in civility and becoming increasingly irresponsible in driving habits. Even Rudy Giulanni was badly injured in a recent rear ender - and he was in a modern auto...

Yep…..what Pat said. I expect to use this mixture on a ‘50 Ford 2 door sedan with original paint I bought off MTFCA Classifieds. Thanks for the info. I’ll continue to look for denatured alcohol and not FUEL…

Don’t know…. But one can go bear hunting with that pitman arm.

Assuming you have correct hubs for T wire wheels ? Isn’t the axle taper and keyway the same for all T tapered
axles ?

Since Karl and Jim haven’t responded on this thread, I’ll sell you a bendix cover for $10+shipping in small box…

Very sorry to hear of this untimely tragedy. I greatly enjoyed reading Angel’s posts here and admired his enthusiasm toward his Model T. Thankfully his son must’ve inherited a love for driving, maintaining and enjoying these old Fords….My prayers for God’s comfort and Grace for the family

I’m trying to mix a MT Roadworthy Rescue concoction called “Shine Juice”. Already have the Boiled Linseed Oil and now looking for Denatured Alcohol. Big box hardware only carry cans labeled in large letters ‘FUEL’ with ‘denatured alcohol’ listed underneath. … That the same ?
