Did this just last year. Easy as can be. Leave the engine in!

You want to pull something that's half the weight of your T? That sounds brave. I'm building a hitch right now, but my kompact camper only weighs 260

Thanks Dan. Well, I'm fixing a large drum rear. It's going in my 25

I'm looking for a set of rear radius rods. Anyone have a set they're bringing?

If that falls through, I'll be next in line

I think it was tim morsher (sp?)
He's not in the forum any more but shows up on Facebook

Dang! Never near Jersey!

Nothing says gospel like two violins and a trumpet!
And what's with the giant paper clip?

First T sold?

Thanks guys

Can someone tell me the taper on the end of an axle?

I'll second what Steve, John, and Pat said. And if the roller came off, especially what Steve said. Been there, done that.

I've got one, in central NJ (and it works fantastically)

I bought box of miscellaneous parts and I think there might be one in the mix. I will know in a few days when the box arrives here.

Thanks Scott, appreciate it

Is he a rebuilder of switches, Steve?

My touring car came with a repop. It's been acting up, and I'm tired of rebuilding mufflers every time it cuts out and backfires. I'm looking for a usable switch and key

I'll take these.

Can somebody tell me, in the second picture, what the rope holding the baskets on, is tied too?

There was a lighted moto meter?

I'm confused. Is it a good thing for a raccoon to get my corn?

I used to powder coat. Paint stripper. Best you can find.

Damn, Scott. I thought the wording was odd, but didn't give it any credence. Then I clicked on it's name. Man, the future is scary

Yes, it is

I'll take it

I joined 2 years ago approx. I found my car on this site. Since then, every question I've had, every part I've needed (or wanted) has been sourced on this site.
Thank you.

Thanks for the links. I need to build that wheel press. I just sent the PDF to my office manager to print for me, and he just came back with full size roll up prints! I'll be able to hang it on the wall while I build it!

Got mine, thanks Dan

I know several machine shops that have equipment running those belts, and I have the tool, for my own SB lathe

What type of plating? If it's nickel, you tube has a number of videos. It's very simple, and very cheap. Hardware store items

Like Tim said

I already have one of Jack's Stevens tool frame. Along with Dan hatch's cutters and reamer it's just the thing for front axles. I'm confused if the interest is in the frame or the thread chaser. If the latter, I'd like on that list too.

Steve, it doesn't need a bracket, I have one. Nonetheless to answer your question, it's a 25.

It's like the title says. Anyone have one for sale?

My question was about the key, but this is a lot of useful info. Thanks Frank

Thanks Norman. That's the answer I was expecting. I initially looked at the tumbler and thought I saw a number but it's very faint. I'll look again, maybe borrow some younger eyes

How about a close up if the art work. It looks very nice

My car came with an after market ignition switch. In a box of parts I found the original switch still mounted in the backing plate. I suspect it's easily restorable. My question is, how do I determine what key it takes?

If I missed out on a later, can I get an earlier?

I'll take a late if still available

I'll take one Dan

No we weren't. Jerry actually introduced us to one of his employees who will be the driver.

Haven't seen motion pictures of Thomas actually driving, just pics of him behind the wheel. He did have a personal driver, with " the Old Man " sitting in the right passenger position of the back seat. A big "THANK YOU" to those who serviced the 1922 Touring for preparation in the West Orange St. P...

Spent a nice morning servicing and test driving Edison's 22 at the museum in West Orange NJ.
Pictures to follow

These are some of my favorite threads, I love looking at the old pictures, and trying to imagine like back then, after I like reading the posts discussing the details. I've learned so much.

I agree with Pat. I'd also mic the journals to confirm they are actually round. You may have a combination of errors.

Thanks Scott, I learned a new word. Deleterious.

For all the benefits we receive from the MTFCA, I will not complain about the increase. This site alone has proven invaluable

Hoboken!? Oooo I'm dying!

What do you guys like for a finish on a wood steering wheel?

Jerry, I don't get the joke either, but good eyes! I couldn't make out what it said past the first line.

Can anyone tell me the number on the modern style cam seal?

Well, the screw that came out is a machine screw. I only remember seeing 2 screw holes, not 4 but I'll look again after work.

I noticed the striker on my 24 touring rear door was loose. Tried to tighten it, nothing. Realized the screw is just stuck in the whole, no nut on the other side. As best as I can tell, the only way to get at the other side of the door post is by removing the front seat upholstery. Am I wrong? I'm t...

Scott's videos always give me a chuckle. I'm from NJ and I don't think you could drive that far in a straight line anywhere in the state!

Jubilee is a brand name for a worm drive hose clamp.

I do fine with the factory transmission brake, but I do wish traffic lights around me had a longer yellow. I've formed the habit of slowing down as I approach a green light, just in case it turns yellow. Never enough time to engine brake

Ice cream delivery in the middle of winter?

I'm not here to tell anyone what to do. It's your hobby. For me, I like to do as much of my own work as possible. It's how I learn. It's how I feel connected. And it's how I feel confident in my equipment. So I chose to do them myself, and have no regrets. It was fun. And a peaceful few hours at the...

No, hand klaxon type. Like you mount on the drives "door" of a touring

Looking at the mount on this horn. Why does it have a recessed cup? Is it supposed to sit on a spring?

Question answered! Thanks!

All four of my coils have leaking capacitors. how does everyone feel about the ones Lang's sells? Other recommendations?
Thanks

If I EVER catch someone standing on the hood of my car....

So, quick update and short anecdote. Engine is back together and running sweet. When I read the manual concerning connecting rod adjustment, I scoffed at ole Henry's "tap the rod with a brass hammer" and said to myself, "self, use the modern way, use Plasti guage." So, I did. Got the job done, and j...

Truth be told, I'm not that upset. I get it. It's a 98 test old car. I have to expect there to be problems. I'm learning, I'm improving my cars condition and finding problems that aren't too hard to remedy. It drove pretty good before, should be even better as I progress. I see wrenching on it as mu...

Well, since Scott brought it up..... Here's the story. Just got the car 2 months ago. Bought it as a non runner, but knew it wouldn't take much to get it running. The guy I bought it from had it running last year couldn't get it running this year, didn't really know too much about mechanics.... We m...

That's a neat kit Dan. Does it fit under the firewall to access the rear 2 cylinder head bolts?

Lots of good tips here. I won't discourage anyone from adding to this thread, however, by trade I'm a machinist. I've installed many different thread repairs in my career. I was just looking for the drill bit size while I wait for the kit to arrive (it's one I didn't have in the shelf) I wanted to d...

Thanks Scott. That's just what I was looking for

That is true, however, not the answer to my question.

I need to repair a head bolt thread. I've ordered a heli coil kit, but would like to get a head start while I wait for it. Unfortunately, it's one of the ones by the fire wall, so I may have to move the engine forward. What I'd like to know, is can anyone tell me the drill bit size for the 7/16 14 h...

Yes, that's what I thought too. Thanks for the confirmation.

I've had my 24 touring for a couple of months. Heard a little more noise from the crank then I liked so I thought I'd investigate. Henry says there should be a little movement when tapped with a brass hammer, I could get side movement with my hand. Ok, time for Plasti gauge and some shim removal. Bu...

I'm gonna second the "where in upstate"

It's a brave man that drives a T around Hoboken

Naw…, Hank has the ultimate, a Cross Radial Outboard that runs!!!!

I never heard of one of those, so I googled it. That's awesome! Learned something new.

Purchased it!

Thanks for the info.

If you live in NJ, and have purchased you T out of state, and it came with a title, did you need a purchase order from the seller to get your NJ title, and what did it look like. Is there an online template you used?

Google O.D. grinder, or possibly centerless grinder
What state are you in?

I have to wonder about the one crashed into the telephone pole. Did they crash because they had no tires? We're they removed after? Can't see marks in the dirt to give any clues.

I think he meant resources
