Thank you very much

tom_strickling

I have an 18 touring car. The top section of the windshield is smaller than the bottom section. It has a hinge between the 2 sections. The QUESTION is: Is there any year Model T that folds down like my 18 does but the two sections are about the same size. NOT using uprights, but having that same hin...

Sent you an email Thanks

tom_strickling

The title says it all. I need a dash with or without instruments for a 1926 Ford Model T Fordor.
Please let me know what you have.
Also need rear belt molding for same car. Entire or at least a curve with about a foot of straight on it.

Thank you.

FOR SALE: 1926 Model T Touring chassis. Engine cranks by hand, looks clean inside the transmission, tires have checking on the sidewalls but good tread and very pliable . Wheels look OK.

Are WASP 12V starters still being made? I see that Snyder's is "temporarily out of stock"

tom_strickling

I sent you an email

tom_strickling

I think I know the answer but I will ask anyway. I just installed a Texas T Alternator on my 1918 touring. I did not realize that it is a 12 volt alternator. I use an 8 volt battery because I like it and I want to. The question is>>>>Is it OK to have this 12 volt alternator with an 8 volt battery. I...

tom_strickling

How many rear (6 lug) wheels are there? If there are 2, does the tread match on their tires? You should probably add some photos.

tom_strickling

Looks like the early rear axle with the beads at the tube. What year is the engine??

tom_strickling

At the host hotel

If anyone has an extra room for the Owatonna, MN July tour, please let me know privately.

tom_strickling

I have 3 or 4 sets of detachable ear bands to sell. $100 per set of 3 shipped to you. Some are Ford some have different looking ends. If you need a non Ford band send me a photo of what you need. I could sell singles of the non-Fords as long as it doesnt break up a set. Thanks

The 2025 Ohio Model T Jamboree will be based out of WOOSTER, OH this year. The dates are August 29,30 and 31. As always it is Labor Day weekend, and it is in OHIO.

tom_strickling

Without measuring much can anyone say if a 24 roadster is roomier than a 22?

tom_strickling

I think I know the answer, but has anyone ever seen a 23-25 roadster with a windshield that has a hinge in the middle of the windshield similar to what a 1918 or 1919 would have? All I have seen pivot up at the top of the stanchion.

Ken That is the type of ski I have. I guess I am being lazy not hauling a floor jack and changing out wheels for skis.

I was using an open landscape trailer to haul my snowmobile with the skis on and had a rough time getting up on. I am also soon going to buy a new enclosed trailer.

tom_strickling

Thank all !

I have driven Ts with new disc brakes and find it very uncomfortable that you barely move the brake pedal for the brakes to engage. Has anyone ever modified the pedal or use a different master cylinder to obtain more brake pedal travel? I know you don't want to activate the disc and the Ford brakes ...

tom_strickling

I get a lot of questions and compliments. You did a great job restoring them.

tom_strickling

Dan,

Are those my wheels???

tom_strickling

What is different about 1911 and 1912 radiators that they are not available new?

tom_strickling

Look great. I hope that big C is laminated or it is very likely to break anywhere the grain runs across the piece instead of along the length of a piece.

tom_strickling

I am looking for a Texas T/Bird Haven add on alternator kit, or at least the bracket for my 1918 touring. Please let me know if you have one to sell or at least a bracket to borrow so I can get one made. I called, they don't have em.

I have some MARX trains from the 1950s 60s. One of the engine tenders features Sound of Power, an old style circuit board that creates static. The power is picked up by a wheel that rubs on the center rail. The wheel has gaps in it to stop the electricity on an equally spaced interim. SO shh shh shh...

Hot glue is not very permanent in most cases. I would not use it for anything I wanted to last on a car. Gluing in toothpicks or wood matches works great for all kinds of things, especially screws that are stripped out in wood.

tom_strickling

Interesting
to see someone wearing sunglasses in an old photo.

tom_strickling

Thank you Jack !

Looks like drums added overtop of the Ford drum for accessory brakes such as Rocky Mountains. The car had small brake drums, but the accessory drum is larger.

This has a 1925 engine that ran and drove about 4 years ago, mostly on and off the trailer. The drive shaft and rear axles are shortened with sprockets on the rear axles. The sprockets engage with the gears on the mower wheels. The sickle bar is ground driven and appears to work. The model of the ho...

Thanks John

tom_strickling

I have taken the engine out of my 18 touring before, not too tricky.
Are there any special considerations for taking the engine out of an EARLY 23 Fordoor?
I have heard it said you should take the hogshead off before pulling the engine.
Any advice?

tom_strickling

I'll ride along for a while!

tom_strickling

Use a sand blaster on most parts. NOT the float of course.

tom_strickling

I need a good , with patina, rear passenger fender for my 18 touring. I will be at Hershey. Perfect paint will not look right on my car, neither will rust.
Please let me know if you have one to sell. Thanks

tom_strickling

I took my Rocky Mountain brake bands to get relined and the older guy that I talked too suggested using a WOVEN lining instead of the smooth flexible lining.
What do you all think about the 2 different types of lining??

Does anyone know the driving mileage for each day of the Michigan Jamboree?

tom_strickling

I have 2 similar lights that need restored. Maybe make one light out of 2. Not rusty or rotted. They clamp onto the windshield frame. If you are interested, I could send photos soon.

tom_strickling

BE extremely careful if you decide to seperate the back of the drive shfat from the worm. The coupler will split if you beat on it too much.

Unless you are replacing the worm or if your driveshaft is bent, you shouldn't need to seprate it, so don't.

Take lots of photos. You shouldn't need any special tools.

Try a search on "MTFCA ruckstell shifter" It should bring up several images. I believe it looks much like the shifter for a car but is a bit heftier.

Be aware, parts are not being made for the TT Ruckstell.
