My late lifelong friend and Model T buddy had a 15" Fordite rim with the forged spider, only one I have ever seen. I think he found it at an auction somewhere, I believe it sold at his Estate auction in 2009. Dave

One other thing that I thought of that dates this as a '24 is the belt line molding. '24s have a separate aluminum (?) molding, such as this one has, the '25 moldings are part of the upper portion of the body and overlap the lower portion at the belt line. Dave

d stroud

Not a '23. '23's were low firewall and had suicide doors. I do believe it is a '24, it has the '24 style windshield finger pulls along with the wood framed doors. There are other minor differences between the'24-'25 years, but I don't recall them now. Dave

We too know the hurt of losing a "best fiend". We had a Miniature Rat Terrier that we lost a few months ago. She was a rescue dog about five years old when we got her, er, I mean when she got us.

Stan, as I said, that was 65 years ago, I'm pretty much in the same boat now. If one of the grandkids isn't around, I do the flashlight thing too.

And, be careful how you remove the coils from the coilbox.

Allan is correct. Left or right side is determined from where you are setting in the driver's (operator's) seat, no matter which side of the road you are driving on and no matter what you are driving or operating. Dave

Danny, unless someone has stepped up and started making correct flip top oilers, the repros won't work on the front springs. They are way too tall and won't let the shackles go together, just one of my pet peeves on repro parts. I don't know about the rears, never tried them on a car. This was about...

I ran into the same thing on the '23TT years ago with the ropro rod. I finally just straightened out the handle end a bit till it would fit through the firewall and then bent it back. Worked for me. Dallas, have you tried to remove that rod yet? If so,and it wouldn't come out, now you know why. :lol...

We used to pull sleds, or car hoods, behind cars all of the time when we were young back in the '60's-'70's, even pulled our kids some in the late '80's. No doubt, we would be arrested for child endangerment now.

I was taught this by a very wise person (my Mother :) ) about 65 years ago. When you drop something on the floor and can't find it right away, get down on the floor and sight across it it with one eye. It's a lot easier to see something when it's sticking up above floor level that way than looking d...

FS. Front motor mount clamp for front spring clip. It is Ford script, but has some wear on one side which can be repaired easily by welding it up or brazing and grinding.

Around here, we never wire down boomer handles, but we do wrap the loose chain around them. If you don't have enough loose chain, your chain is too short.

By the way, a good cheater pipe is a must, along with a healthy bit of common sense!!!

Dave

d stroud

Allan, you for sure hit the nail on the head! Around here there are a lot of antique tractor guys that run tires that can be 50+ years old and work just fine. And it isn't just tires, almost anything made from rubber doesn't last like it used to. I remember rubber windshield wiper blades lasting for...

I made some for the TT(the one Dallas has now) very similar using S.S. welding rod to hold the sockets, but I removed the burner and adjuster and ran the wire through the adjuster hole. Very easy to do, and very easy to convert back to original. Dave

I'm going way out on a limb here, but I think I recall adds for "Free Wheeling" on cars from back in the '40's/'50's maybe.

I don't know if it has been mentioned or not, but not only when rivets work loose, the holes become elongated and the edges of the holes create ridges that won't let the flat surfaces clamp down even if the rivets are just peined again.
