If you have a set of 4 that you don't want to break up, let me know. Still looking for plugs

Pep C Strebeck

Looks like there is a nub on the backside of the front engine bearing mount that is on the frame, that is hitting the oil pan. Does this bearing have a front and back? I think, if I turn the mount 180 degrees it will work. Or, is the bearing just worn out? 0302211926a.jpg0302211926a (1).jpg Yes it ...

Not the best of examples, I know, but it is what I have. Checked at 3 different points along the length and each one comes in at 1.001". Hopefully this is helpful for you.

My non running, new to me, 1924 TT has a starter and a generator block off plate. I'm not sure why someone put the plate on it?

Yes it was posted before - BUT no video's were indicated About 20 years ago!! Bud. :D I guess I should clarify; I don't know if any VIDEOS of this have been posted before? It does not look like that is the case, although there are previous threads on the topic that do include photographs.

Pep C Strebeck

I don't know if videos of this had been posted before but I came across these last night and thought I would share a couple of the links.

He says in the comments for the video;
"Hola la maqueta tiene un motor a pilas que simula el sonido del motor."

This would translate to;
"Hello, the model has a battery-powered motor that simulates the sound of the motor."

A great and very detailed model, but not a gas engine.

I have always used the 0.041" diameter wire with no problems, it works/fits for every location on the T. I definitely would not use anything less than the 0.032" diameter wire, but I prefer the 0.041" diameter. As you have stated, the 0.020" diameter will break too easily.

No later than 1920, the round fuel tank changed to oval in 1920. Also it looks as though the drive shaft spool is the earlier style using studs instead of the later style with exposed bolts, so 1918 to 1920.
