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.

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?

I found this photo from Ron Grigsby on an old forum thread. I am looking for one.

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

I have a Staude Mak-a-Tractor for sale. The engine runs but has a knock in it. It has a new gas tank, rebuilt coils and NH carb, New angle brakets, rear axle and axle bearings. The radiator holds water. the iron lugs were removed so I put wood blocks on the wheels and screwed tire retread to the woo...

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'

tom_strickling

If you come to Winesburg, OH near the Berlin Amish country Beachy's Radiator will look at it. They have cleaned and done some light brazing on a couple for me. As far as repairing individual tubes that are 90 years old, not many places, including them will not even try. They might re-core it. Addres...

I found 3 sets of these in some T stuff. They are about 1 1/2" by 3" and threaded on the ends.

Do you have more than one of these??

tom_strickling

Thanks to you and your group for trying. I feel your pain !

tom_strickling

I find this whole thread totally invasive and inappropriate. It is none of anyone's business except for #29 and his family. How would any of us like to have a family member scrutinized like this on a public forum?

tom_strickling

I would like the
Ton Truck rear axle seal cups

Thanks, TOM

tom_strickling

What don't you have that is still needed?

As I understand it, Mr. Livingood is not doing so well lately. I know some guys in his chapter and I highly doubt he is still producing any.

Depending on what you are building, sometimes you might be lucky enough to find old wagon bed hardware. Most of it is blacksmith made and has a good "early" look. Be mindful to use correct or correct looking hardware. Square nuts, grind or turn off the grade marks from bolt heads and NO PHILLIPS SCR...

About 20 or so years ago, our friends had a miniature horse for sale. The guy who came to buy it was driving a bigger 4 door car. Most mini horses are sort of ornery and this one was no exception. The guy decided to but the horse, and our friends asked when he would come to pick it up. He said "I wi...

Nice collection Just to be annoying, there were only 48 states in 1942. Alaska and Hawaii weren't granted statehood until 1959. I do see the Alaska plate though.

Sorry I couldn't resist I am just bored enough to look that up.
