What’s the best way to trailer a Tudor Sedan on a open trailer? Frontward or backwards?

Which style of shifter is on it ? Lack of lubrication internally can cause that - how was it shifting prior to "locking" up ? Have you tried to "do the dance" between the low & reverse pedals at the same time ? Sometimes that will do it as that is the best way to shift sitting still. I don’t unders...

The ruckstell in my 25 Tudor is stuck. Not sure, but I think it’s stuck in high. I can’t move the shifter forward or backwards. What should I do first? Is there a easy fix for this?

I’m new to the model T world. Without getting into a big debate, I was wondering if anyone uses synthetic oil in their T? If so, what’s your opinion?

I would be interested in one.

I’m not sure what kind of jet it has Keith. I did open the bowl drain John, it was dry. Yes I did tap the carburetor to try and free up the problem. So, do I take off the bowl? It’s a NH carburetor by the way. I’ve never had one apart before, not sure what I’m looking for.

I bought a rebuilt carburetor about a month ago, the car has been running fine. Yesterday I wanted to take advantage of our nice Indiana weather and go for a ride, It wouldn’t start, I started checking things over, spark was good so I moved on to the fuel system. Took the line off at the both ends b...

So if the ammeter is on the battery circuit, if you run your car on mag, is the battery being charged? I start my car on battery then switch it to mag right away. Does the mag charge the battery?

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the help.

I really appreciate all the feedback, thanks guys!

Yes, I was working on the cooling system and my magnetic work light stuck on top of the cutout and closed the contacts. I was hoping it just fried the cutout, I guess I was wrong. Is there a way to check the generator in the car?

I don’t think my generator is putting out, my ammeter barely moves when the car is running. Is there a way to check it without removing it? I installed a new cutout, and now it won’t charge. Do I have to flash it?

With the engine off, should the coils buzz if you turn the key to mag? Mine doesn’t. It won’t start on mag. Like there is no spark. Is that normal? If not, how do I fix it? I can start it on battery and switch to mag and it runs better.

What’s the secret to using the felt washers? I replaced the old copper fuel line with a steel line. I ordered new pack nuts and felt washers. Got it all together turn the fuel on and both nuts was leaking gas. It’s my first time using the washers. I put the nut on the line then a washer, used a smal...

As I said in other posts, I am new to the model T world. My 1925 T Sedan is my first. That being said, my car only starts on mag it runs rough once started I switch it to battery and it smooths out. Is that normal? If I try to start it on battery it won’t start, why is that? My coils only buzz on ma...

Thanks for the info! That’s awesome that the records still exist.

I’m trying to figure out when and where my 1925 Tudor sedan was made. Serial number is 12172526. What month and what plant location was it made?

I got a new cutout today, the diode type. There was a warning label that said I needed to turn my generator down to 5 watts. How do I do that?

I was working on my 25 T sedan not paying attention to my work light when my wiring harness and cutout started smoking. I pulled the wire off of the cutout it stopped. My work light has a magnet on the back, it must have stuck onto the cutout and closed the points, turning my generator into a toaste...

Thanks Dan, that diagram really helps! My tank is also located under the drivers seat.

I sure appreciate the replies, thanks! It truly is a great hobby! On the subject of using the 1/4 inch hose bits, how long should I cut them?

Didn’t happen today, I was recently working on my 25 Tudor and my work light shorted the generator cutout, fried my ammeter wire. I replaced the wire, ammeter still works. I ordered a new cutout. I’m not sure about the generator, is there a chance of frying the wiring again if the generator is bad a...

I want to start off by saying how honored I am to finally be a part of this amazing hobby. I brought home my newly acquired 1925 Tudor Sedan last Friday. I’m really eager to learn as much as I can about the maintenance and upkeep,Newbie here, so please bare with me. After looking it over, I found so...
