My personal feeling is that if the spokes failed during a trailer trip they probably needed to be replaced before the trip. I Agree 👍 A wheel that fails on a vehicle being transported in an enclosed trailer would have failed while operating the vehicle on the road. Unless the enclosed trailer was d...

Hello Brandon 👋 What is the tow capacity of the vehicle you are using to pull the trailer ? Figure that out first - then deduct the actual curb weight of the Model T’s you will be hauling. What is left will be the curb weight of the trailer you can safely tow. That will determine if you purchase a s...

Hi Susanne 👋 I have never stopped transporting during COVID-19. If you read my posts on my transport thread in “ Parts “ - I was limited to interstate travel for awhile and picking up and dropping off at exits only.

The front wheels stayed on I guess for the unloading from the trailer and the maneuvering to the door of the building 🧐 D21C10A3-997E-4D63-853F-E600B5A1D116.jpeg But then Jerry had to remove them so The Purple Cow could fit thru the door 💪 EFCB6568-A768-49ED-AC6E-8605F09E32D3.jpeg Justin behind the ...

Upon arriving at the Museum Annex alley and opening the rear door - we discovered the rear passenger side tire had gone completely flat. I forgot if the passenger front tire was also flat but as large as The Purple Cow was - it had listed to the curb side of the trailer and wasn’t going to come out ...

The Fruit & Vegetable Truck was a challenge. But the largest volume Model T that I have transported to date has been The Purple Cow.

Has anyone ever seen this on a Model T ? I have not seen any other reference to Valvoline oil being recommended by Ford Motor Company other than I found above in my previous post.

I don’t have a Model T image handy - but I transported this Model A Belly Tank Racer to the CEO of J.D Powers outside of Chicago last year. I secured it at the rear axle & front tires which were pulled to the center. This keeps the vehicle from being pulled apart. I use this method on Model T’s and ...
