I needed to take the pan off a engine built (too) many years ago to check things and get it ready for installing my Rajo BB head. In the process, I mangled the new style crank seal I had installed. I have both felt seals and a new style seal that I could install. Can’t make up my mind which to use. The new one would probably seal better, but seems...

I dont know what these are called but if you have them please let me know:

I have had to get new bearings for a 920-1 cast iron warford this week. Old MTFCA posts were helpful, but I don't think there was anything recent so I will post some information to aid people who might be rebuilding one.

This is old information that I am pretty sure was published directly by Warford:

Finally got another T model, I’m sure it’s a hodge podge of parts but curious what year this looks like to you? Block is a 1919 and I don’t believe that’s the case on the body. Thanks

I really didn't want to 'pollute' some of the existing threads regarding these Copyrights, so I started a new thread. For those in the know, exactly ' what ' is the Copyright actually covering, -or protecting?

Well, sorta kinda.
It's not the worst thing I've seen done to a T. Other than more H.P., though, it won't off-road any better than a stocker!

Good afternoon,

I am new to the wonderful world of the Model T. A little background: I have been involved with the Maine Forest & Logging Museum in Bradley, Maine, for quite a few years now. Back in December, we received a generous donation of two Ford Model TT trucks with Virgil White snowmobile conversions. Needless to say, we are pretty...

They are mounted on brand new rims from Australia and I only put enough air in the tubes to mount them. Never were fully inflated. If you can use them, they will need to be picked up...

I am getting ready to reassemble my 26 speedster and thought I would take a good look at the frame. It has about 1/4 inch sag in the middle, not a big deal and placing a long straight edge on the frame rails shows that they are both straight side to side. However, the frame in front of the rear crossmember is about 3/8 inch wider than frame behind...

These parts came from a recent estate sale. They were in a box together. Looks as if someone was putting an engine together and never completed the project. Parts included Jahn's standard pistons and rings. Standard valves and lifters. Includes springs and keepers. New crankshaft gear as well. Babbitt looks pretty good. Don't need it cluttering up...

Sorry but I'm so confused now.

So my rims are Kelsey and look just like the drawing via the drawings on this site under resources. If I look at my felloes they are flat on one side which appears to be Ford under the ford 2845B drawing or 2845C drawing.

So do I have Kelsey rims on Ford fellows?

Very nice pair of early front spring perches for over the axle wishbone front end. Very good threads, someone did a nice job removing them without destroying them. They don’t have a hole for an oiler so I believe that makes them 1915 and earlier but I could be wrong.

I tightened up the hub and all the spoke are now tight. I was hoping for good measure I could just use something like Chair-Loc in the joints and tenons, epoxy at the tenon ends at the felloe, and Spar Varnish for protection. Will that for me based on what you see or are my spokes done for?

Thanks, Darren
