Posting some photos could help solve your problem.

23" Hayes are a split rim but do not use a lock ring. The tire mounts to the split rim which has lugs permanently attached to it. No extra piece. Kelsey made a 23" TT rear wheel set up that used a spacer ring about the diameter of a pencil that goes between the split rim and the wheel fellow. You ha...

Thanks Tim Merry Christmas!!

tom_strickling

I would like 2 please.

Nice job Steve. I have several housings, including a complete early rear end. I will have to look them over.I wish your post had been around 10 years ago when I first got interested in TT truck stuff.

tom_strickling

I'll take 3 chrome and one brass please.

tom_strickling

Looks great I'll take it.

Thanks

tom_strickling

Original or reproduction either one.

tom_strickling

I need a battery horn and bracket for a 1923 touring. It is for a totally restored car so it needs to be rust/pit free.

Thanks

NICE job on the interior.

tom_strickling

I was at the drugstore looking at boxed Christmas cards. There were 2 I really liked. Both featured Santa and glitter NEITHER ONE had the words MERRY or CHRISTMAS on them. What the heck!!!! If it wasn't for Christmas Santa wouldn't even have a job!!

tom_strickling

Looks like typical Model T wheels on a striaight axle to use for a small trailer

tom_strickling

I think the switch to high radiators was in July 1923

tom_strickling

Rich,

I sent you a couple of emails about wheels and rims.

The 2008 parade in Richmond Inidana during the centennial tour. HUNDREDS of people of all ages came out to see hundreds of Model Ts drive by. It made so many people, including us, so very happy. I think I will always remember that day.

Is this what you need?

tom_strickling

I am pretty much restating what others have, but: A local guy I know of is paying for a total restoration of a 23 touring that looked much like that when he started. He is closing in on $18,000 for the restoration and has a good friend who did the tear down, and reassembly made arrangements with the...

tom_strickling

Maybe the bag is Made in USA

tom_strickling

Just to clarify I was not the seller:

"Good 20" rims are hard to find. Here is a set, not mine. Kind of pricey."

These rims are not exactly the same as the "widow makers" Having said that be careful when you air up.

tom_strickling

Good 20" rims are hard to find. Here is a set, not mine. Kind of pricey.

Here is some good info

tom_strickling

Sound itchy to me. They do look good on cars that are really unrestored and rusty.

tom_strickling

Depends on who wins tomorrow. The answer may be " 3 years ago" depending on who the president is next term.

tom_strickling

I would like those, how much???

tom_strickling

with an engine hoist and a helper it is easy (enough) to do without removing the body or the firewall.

tom_strickling

As time goes by, the ring wears and the slop increases. I checked 3 vehicles. 2 were at about 3/16" of movement but 1 was at 3/8" seems like alot. The bolt on the emergency brake cam is centered but the bolt will slide side to side using most of the surface of the cam.

tom_strickling

How much side to side movement is acceptable for the bronze clutch release ring (T-3400) ?? Horseshoe shaped.

I am talking about in and out of the side of the hogshead. Thanks

tom_strickling

I am looking for Ford pliers (Model T ) without the screwdriver tip.

tom_strickling

I found these DISTEEL wheels restored by Dan Treace. I have always wanted a set and these are beauties! Came with new bearings tubes, tires, and flaps and a Disteel wrench and Disteel air gauge. Just got them on my Fordoor yesterday.

tom_strickling

Th guy at Luray was looking for a 6 spoke steel wheel I think.

tom_strickling

is that a high or low radiator?

tom_strickling

The last 5 minutes on an online auction is what makes all the difference.

Thanks for the heads up.

tom_strickling

Here's a couple

tom_strickling

Thanks all.

tom_strickling

Thanks. I cant figure out how he could make money out of this unless the check he sends is for "to much" and he asks me to send the "extra" and in the mean time the check bounces. He said in another email he would send a "cashier's check and I could wait for it to clear" Maybe he's just a jerk who l...

Will Langs be bringing the parts trailer?

tom_strickling

Here is an email I received . I have a tractor conversion listed on Craigs list. This guy was willing to buy it at my price sight unseen. I should have known, no real Model T guy pays full price. Now today I get this email. I know it is a scam but I forget how. Sadly I have already given him my addr...

tom_strickling

Why do sellers think it is necessary to give background on Ford and/or the Model T. I have seen some just cut and paste from Wikipedia.
Tell about the car you are selling. The entire history of the Model T is mostly irreverent to the vehicle being sold.

tom_strickling

Since I was a little kid, I thought Model Ts looked like giant toys. Who doesn't love toys?

tom_strickling

Your wife is definitely a KEEPER.

tom_strickling

Is there any intrest in a STAUDE Mak A Tractor. I have advertised it here before.
I can bring it to Luray but would like to NOT bring it home.

tom_strickling

Hi Bill,
Have you made any progress with the saw I sold you??

TOM

tom_strickling

Find a way Perry. That seems like a great price to me.

tom_strickling

Joe,

Do you have any photos of the Model T hearse? I would love to see it.

tom_strickling

Thanks everyone but I am looking for someone who specializes in accurate restorations of CREATORS popcorn trucks and wagons.

"""Anyone know where to get such a thing restored ?"""

tom_strickling

I am going to Luray and can deliver it there. Feel free to make an offer.

tom_strickling

Anyone have a period Model T popcorn truck ? Anyone know where to get such a thing restored ?

tom_strickling

All my vehicles are low hood. Are 25 and 27 the same hood??

tom_strickling

The chariot needs some plastic horses in front of it.

tom_strickling

What about the covered bridge Model T tour ???

tom_strickling

Buy it and don't restore it. It's only original once. If you need a high speed ring gear they turn up once in a while, so do auxiliary transmissions, 30 MPH is plenty fast enough.

tom_strickling

I am bringing

Aluminum hogshead
23" Kelsey rear TT wheels and rims.
Reverse Pedal Extensions
Running board tool boxes
Maybe some Boyco cans.

tom_strickling

What are the 4 hexagonal pieces. I have torn apart severl TT rears and have never seen them?

tom_strickling

$40 for a 12 x 30 space. They would like to know by today if you will be setting up.

I wondered the same thing. Who needs 7 of 'em??

tom_strickling

I don't know why it wouldn't. The pinions fit on the ford rear axle. You would probably have to adapt the angle bracket in the back some what to make it work. Staudes selling point back in the day was a tractor through the week and your Ford car on the weekend. They were made to swap on and off as n...

What will Tim have next? Can't wait.

If that darn coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME stuff, why didn't he just go out for a nice meal in a restaurant !!!

tom_strickling

Why remove it? I have rebuilt several without removing the tag.

You can fish up through from the other end for cleaning any crud out, and once installed the tag doesn't show much anyway. Just depends on what you are doing I guess.

tom_strickling

Jack,

Check your spam folder just in case

tom_strickling

Is it powder coated or painted? What kind if paint?

Thanks

tom_strickling

How about $4250 ? These don't come up too often.

tom_strickling

Headed for Ebay this evening after dinner. Make an offer. perfect for a speedster or wood bodied vehicle.

tom_strickling

Thanks, does anyone have a Stewart 5 foot cable they will sell. Lang's has them back ordered. Or can I just order the Stewart ends and make up my own? How?

tom_strickling

If you use modern speedometer cable inside the flexible brass housing, do you need a sleeve of some type over the cable to protect the brass??

tom_strickling

Price reduced a little $4,500

tom_strickling

How about $1400 ??

tom_strickling

Still for sale. I listed on EBAY and have not heard from the "buyer" in over a week, so it is still for sale $1600 OBO>

tom_strickling

tom_strickling

Plug up the holes with some black silicone and no one will ever notice once it gets a little dirt on it.

tom_strickling

Does anyone have a tool box, probably plastic, that smells like nasty old cheese when you open it up. I have experienced this with a couple smaller tool boxes. What's the deal??

tom_strickling

SOLD THANK YOU

tom_strickling

OOPS I have to take that back, I thought it was one of the pull starters that has a D shaped handle on the firewall for you to pull on.

tom_strickling

I have one in a box. A local 14 roadster pickup has one. Thing is if it backfires while you a pull starting you may end up in front of the car! Just jokin'
