Sharp TT Truck! Question. Did the front fender brace come with the truck when you got it? I have a few front fender braces but not one like yours with the headlights curves. Looks sharp. No, the truck did not have that front fender brace on it, I added it. My 1924 Model T touring has that type on i...

Steve, It's gorgeous, and ready to work! I see lots of cool accessories, but please tell us about the black iron on pipe on the brake rods... R/ Roger. Roger, The black Iron pipe is my design to make the brake rod collapsible when I apply the rear brakes. I put a brake equalizer and stainless-steel...

After four years, I got it finished and back on the road. I went through all the systems front to back, repairing and fixing if needed. I also dressed it up a little. My scope/vision was to keep it looking old, like an old farm truck that was used from 1924 to 1950 plus. To make it look like you jus...

I just use clean gasoline, brake cleaner, or carb. cleaner for my final cleaning. But I have a couple of dip buckets I use before hand. These are metal buckets with metal lids. What I do is, if I have any dirty gas, dirty kerosene, used thinner, used brake cleaner, used carb cleaner, used WD40, used...

I have been collecting good oversized cast iron pistons to use. Last year I got a good 1920s block is good condition that needed a lite overhaul. So last winter I just had to hone out the cylinder holes and use four 0.005 oversized pistons with 0.010 over sized rings (filed to fit) to get it back in...

Forgot to say, if your rear end is already rebuilt, then the change over to the high gear set is not hard. If you are rebuilding your rear end then there will be more time, and the trouble of finding good parts. Mine was a rebuild, and I though it was not hard to do. Just finding parts and time in p...

I just did mine, and it was not hard, but mine was a two speed Hall Scott (Ruckstell) rear end. It is a lot heavier than a standard TT rear end. Just follow the MTFCA book on rear ends, and it will be just fine. Like what was said before, everything is heavier and use plenty of blocks and jack stand...

Thanks Frank, great link to plug history

Thanks Steve for the information, but I was looking to see if anybody had a detailed list with spark plugs and the number on the plugs (example like Edison #14, Champion X, and so on). I have read what is on the MTFCA website about spark plugs, but was wondering if there was a detailed list. Because...

The title says it all; What 1/2 inch Pipe Thread Spark Plugs Work in a Model T ?
Has anyone developed a list for the antique and modern plugs that work in a Model T?

The wire is probably all rusted up together tight, so ......... technically it is a rusted on nut.
I also think he, ......... "nailed it" ........ right as a good repair.

Sorry did not read your first post.

This is what I did for seat covers in my Model TT farm truck. Those feed sacks were the reusable type and are like a lite weight canvas

Also according to the MTFCA Ruckstell repair book, new bearings would measure 0.562 and they are still acceptable down to 0.557 (the roller on the roller bearing is what you are measuring) I have read on this website, a person could shim between the rear axle housing and the bearing sleeve, such tha...

How many leaves are there in a Model TT rear leaf spring set up? The truck I have, has nine on each side. That seems like too much, because the leaves are very tightly compacted together under the cross member and there is no movement what so ever where they attach to the cross member. The leaves ha...

I also use Gibbs or 140w oil to coat my parts. Then I put them into zip lock bags. Last I use a 3 x 5 card with the name of the item and the specifications of the part so I do not have to measure it again to see if it is a good part. If you do this procedure, the part is protected and ready for use ...

What I mean about the drive shaft is not finished in the middle, it was not turned smooth at the Ford factory (there is a Ford stamp)

Les,

I will ask the machine shop to recheck the runout by clamping up 13 1/4 inches from the end to be cut.

Steven How much wear do you have where the bushings run? So you are going to remove about a foot of it and likely from the front end. If you chuck it in your lathe 3 jaw grabbing it where you will cut it off with the pinion end supported by a centre by the tail stock , how much runout do you have t...

I am putting a Muncie 3 speed gearbox in my Model TT Truck. The drive shaft I have, that I am getting cut down to put the auxiliary gearbox in, has 0.035 inch run out in it. I was wondering is this too much for this drive shaft? I would like to know what your experience is in this matter is.

Jim, Sent you emails for pictures on TT parts from you other postings and I would like pictures on the TT internals.

I just did mine this weekend. I packed the U-joint with grease, and when it was all coupled up I shot about 70 pumps with a grease gun.

Just as a side note, this is what I do. When you figure out or know the amount that the head has been milled off the head, please stamp the amount that has been milled for future reference. Like -0.125 somewhere meaty on the milled side of the head. That way you will not have to remember it and the ...

I read a book about that Depot Hack, ........... it was call "Old Yeller".

You need to pull the engine. I am pulling mine this winter because I found a magnet clamp and some brass screw heads when I changed the oil this year.

I have a HALL SCOTT "Ruckstell" early Model TT rear end on my Model TT Truck. Yes, It does have the two gear spider instead of the later four gear spider. The cast name on the outside of the rear end says HALL SCOTT as do all the stamped internal pieces of the rear end (see first two pictures). Ruck...

Always have something to carry stuff. You will buy more than you expected and it will be weight more than you expected. I have a 3 foot long stiff canvas bag that was used to carry firewood.

CASH IS KING !!!!!!!!!!!

If you want to get some excitement, just ask, ....... "What oil is the best to use in my Model T ?"
or how about this question, ....... "Should I use a water pump and which one ?"

Henry, I do not have any documented information on the different drive shafts or coupler. Just what I have read on the MTFCA forums and the observations of the 8 TT rear ends I have taken apart (4 standard and 4 Ruckstell). It looks like there is some here. There is an article in the Ford Service Bu...

There have been a few times that this has been mentioned in this web site, so I ran across this case and took some pictures of it. There are four pictures of drive shaft splined ends and couplings for a Model TT truck drive shaft. One end is an early drive shaft that came off a Model TT rear end. Th...

I have a HALL SCOTT "RUCKSTELL" 2 speed rear end in my Model TT truck. It has both of the names on it, as an example of the naming, just like the shifting level that is in the first two pictures. But what I found interesting is the early shift lock body (in the 3rd and 4th pictures) is made of brass...

The ad says; " IT START AND RUNS."
I guess that is the reason there is a tow strap on the back and tow chains on the front.

Is this an early Gene French design?

I would be interested in it but I do not have the money now or the room as of yet. I only have room for two at this time. It is just bad timing for me. Ask me in four years form now when I am retired. I plan to get a 1913 or 1914 Model T Touring to add to my collection.

I will trade these front set Pancake Hasslers springs for a rear set. I will need to see pictures of yours. Email me or PM me. Here is what I have. There is one ear that holds the spring that is gone. 951fronthasslers1.jpg 951fronthasslers2.jpg 951fronthasslers3.jpg 951fronthasslers4.jpg

Ford made both the low and high speed gear sets. The low speed is a 7:1 ratio and the high speed is a 5:1 ratio. The 5:1 was a special order for high speed city deliveries and are so of rare in the standard Ford TT rear end. They are more common in the two speed Ruckstell rear ends. Search in google...
