What Kevin said, plus maybe cut off a bit of the threaded portion of the cleavis. Maybe not the correct way for a fix, but may just get you going. Just a thought. Dave

Steve T. is correct. Most, or at least a lot of, keystock is made .001 or .002 oversize to fit better in "worn" keyways. or so I've been told. I've had to dress down the sides on keystock for fifty or so years. Dave

Wayne, I may well be all wet here, but I THINK all of the steel felloe non demountable wheels were 30x3 1/2. I had some years ago that were in great shape. I was going to use the spokes to rebuild some 30x3 1/2 demountables but was told they wouldn't fit. Never did check them out though as I sold th...

Could it have been an industrial or State owned tractor. Many of those were painted in different colors, orange and yellow were popular. Just a WAG Dave

What Dick L. said. Of course those posts should be dealt with, which I'm sure that the Admins will deal with them when they can. Please don't keep bringing them to the top. JMHO. Dave

Rich E., what Mark G. said. Put the shim in the hub first, then the shim will tend to push out instead of in. JMHO Dave

Mark, I don't think you have near enough gap/taper for the weld joint. Also, if that shaft is that hard, the handle may well come off in your hand some day. JMHO Dave

I assume that the term "Monkey" wrench came from those wrenches. Makes sense to me. I wonder if the "RR" was the mechanic's initials? Dave

You can also use blue Loctite on the nuts. That will keep them from coming loose, but they can be removed if needed without ruining the threads. JMHO Dave

I have used Brillo or SOS pads to remove rust from chrome for 60 years, works great for me and is quick. You are using the Brillo pads with water aren't you? Don't know how you could get much quicker. JMHO Dave

What ever you do, if you are working on the headlight sockets, DON'T lose those TINY brass set screws for the wires. As far as I know, they aren't available from any of the vendors. Maybe from another source, I don't know. Just heads up. Dave

Hal, I'm guessing your back is in a lot better shape than mine!!!

Dave

This is just a WAG, but I'm guessing that the different branch assembly plants received what ever hubcaps that were handy at the time of the shipment, along with many other parts. I doubt that much attention was paid to what went where and when. JMHO Dave

Steve, just a shot in the dark here. I have noticed that the center bow on your top looks to be too long, the top doesn't seem to fit quite right. The pictures of the break in that bow looks like it may have been cut down and welded back together at some point with the weld having been ground down w...

Steve, just to throw a Monkey Wrench into the whole split rim, split ring thing, I have seen many flat base rims, which is another name for split ring rims, for 10.00x20 truck tires(maybe some other sizes too) that the rims are indeed split, right at the valve stem hole.

The frame on your TT appears to have been extended with a period correct extension to allow the Warford to be installed without shortening the drive shaft and radius rods, most likely part of the Warford setup (or "outfit" as I think was the term back then). :) I think that is a plus as I don't thin...

#5 are also lugs for the Kelsey # 88 rims. # 6 I'm not familier with, but am reasonably sure they aren't for the Kelset #88 rims. It would help to see the back side of those. Dave

Billy, good luck with mixing and matching Ford transmissions, engines, driveshafts, rearends, wheels etc., etc. For some reason, it seems that Ford delighted in changing EVERY thing that could have possibly been interchanged, it's just nuts.

Mario, you might want to invest in a magnetic drain plug. Cheap and helps keep any stray steel or cast iron pieces from floating around. Dave

Years ago we were in Kansas City MO. looking for a particular street address. I didn't have a camera with me, but when we started looking at the street signs, we found Sixth, Fifth, Fourth and Thirth. I kid you not.

Dave

Yep, never mind. I was thinking about them being on inside out, backwards didn't register. Yeah, I looked again.

Dave

d stroud

Fellers, look again at the '24-'25 hood. The panels aren't on backwards, your looking at the shadows. The dimples for the hood hooks bear this out.

Dave

d stroud

Jeff, the first(rusty) one appears to be a '26-'27 hood. The second one(primered) one appears to be a repro hood for a '24-'25 high radiator. Dave

I would be tempted to clean everything up squeaky clean and apply some Right Stuff, once you've found the source of the leak, maybe even use a vacuum cleaner to help suck it into the void. It would be more flexible than JB Weld I believe. Should last until you have to pull the engine at a later date...

Steve, as for the radiator cap thing, get one of the rubber gaskets that the vendors sell (I believe they are the same as a plumbing gasket, don't recall just what) and I doubt that you will have any more problems with it.

Allan, I'm not talking about the expense or lack of for flaps or liners. I'm saying I don't understand what you are gaining by using liners on clincher rims. I have also mounted clinchers not using flaps and not pinched a tube, it just makes it easier. Flaps are a bit spendy, but once you have them ...

d stroud

I for the life of me cannot understand why rim "liners" are used on clincher rims. "Flaps" can be useful when mounting the tires, helps to prevent pinching the tube, been there, done that :( ). They also can help keep the tube from "squeezing" in between the beads of the modern clincher tires. The t...

That's just nuts!!!!! Why would ANYBODY do that to such of an almost non existent original car? I am beyond amazed!!!!! And saddened as much.

What were they thinking??? I can't and probably will never understand that. What a waste.

Dennis, is it a '23 or '24-'25? '23 is a low radiator, '24-'25 is a high radiator. Makes a difference, just a heads up. Dave

I still have a pair of TT hubcaps that I bought in 1964 from an add in Hemming's that were "NOS", and when I got them, the nickel plating was very ruff, even though they were brass.

Rich, you sure did bring back some memories. I remember a lot of those guys advertising in Hemming's back in the mid '60's. I was in my early teen's back then and couldn't afford much, but me and my best friend for 53 years sure spent a lot of time reading and dreaming of things back then.
