A few days ago I put an ad on Facebook Marketplace for our '21 Touring. Since it was gassed up, tires inflated to proper specs, and ready to drive, we, my wife, and my three grandsons, ages 8, 14, and 16, and I took it for a ride today. Now I'm a little less motivated to sell it.

I found this elsewhere on the www. It apparently is a top to convert a Touring into a closed sedan. I have never seen one, not even a picture before. Anybody else got one? Can anyone direct me to more pics & info on them?

Our chapter had a shop day today. We adjusted the timing and carburetor on a distributor equipped speedster, replaced a stripped exhaust nut on a 1915 Touring, replaced the fuel tank in another 1915 Touring and successfully recharged a magneto in a 1917 delivery truck using the Carnegie method. One of the projects caught fire so I’m calling it a...

I pulled out my cars and my truck out this morning, to sweep the floors, and decided it was time for a photo.... :lol:

Once I got down on the pavement, I had a struggle getting up. Old age sucks.

I wonder how many T guys are in the dark about using original valve stems. Yesterday, I had the pleasure of talking with a well know tire guy, and he was totally in the dark about how those early valve stems are mounted to the tubes!
The best information I've seen is from the Model A clubs. Those guys really get in there and do their research.

What's up with Rootlieb? I get an error when I try their site. Is it down, changed or non-existent?

Its the weekend, time to get greasy...

I have an engine knock on my 22T- so I pulled each plug wires individually and seems like its coming from No. 1. So, I pulled the pan and I'm using plastigague to check the clearance. First pass came with no deformation at all, so I know the gap is greater than 0.003 in.

I measured the shims and they were...

Over the years I think I've probably tried all the available radiator flushes. Even CLR, but now the instructions on CLR say not for cooling systems. What is the best one for a Model T?

No idea what purpose they had - does anyone have an idea what they were doing there?

I’d like to trade these low hood (17-22) hood shelves for a pair the later high hood (23-25) style. Looking for a nice set in similar condition to the ones I have. Not looking to sell, would really like to trade for the correct ones I need. I bought these at a swap meet thinking they were correct for my project but later realized they are not....

As some chapter's get smaller due to members dying off, has any chapter ever considered joining up with a Model A chapter? You could have a joint newsletter. Combine costs of meetings. Have bigger tours. Have more people available to work on cars. etc.

Would it even be allowed? Ins issues, etc. Just sitting here thinking outloud.

I think this car could vie for the best Torpedo in the world. It's absolutely spectacular. Early 1911 Torpedo roadster, ground up restoration, equipped as it left the factory. Authentic in every way. Impeccable restoration completed and the owner died. It never saw the road. The gas tank is sparkly clean. Comes with a few spare parts. $35,000.00...

Does anyone have the instructions for a Schlaich Lock made for Motometers? The way they work is seemingly obvious but I am hunting for the original instructions just for reference.

Are you permitted to drive your own T in Greenfield Village? Is that only during the once a year festival parade? Where do I find the details?

It's September 6. Guess we'll get it rolling.
We had a terrible Spring.  We had to ask a tenant to leave who had issues paying their rent and when they left, their unit was trashed.  It took us close to 4 months to make it rentable again.  This made it so our first ride of the Summer took place today, Sept. 6.  After some gussying up, it was a...

I'm looking for a replacement low speed drum and was looking for help in what to look for.
Cracks across the band and across the ribs I've seen on videos but what about the outer surface condition?
And what if it has been turned in the past?

Thanks

Howdy, I’m looking for a nice set of 1911-12 running boards, or simply a passenger/right side, if that’s all I can find

Thanks MTFCA

FS: One restorable Jno. Brown 110 lantern. It will need a total restoration, the burner is missing, there's a dent in the back, the reflector plating has worn off, and the glass will have to be replaced. On the plus side, the top, while not perfect, is better than probably 80% of the Jno. Brown lights I've seen. Also includes a fount that is not...

Here is an extra to me TA14/15 mic for sale. This is a direct read mic, no math to do with it. Range is 1.2 inches to 3.4 inches.

You see something online that you really want and someone beats you to it. Tonight, a missed a Simmons head on Facebook Marketplace. Someone say the ad before me and bought it for $50.00 ! Even if it was cracked and not repairable, I would have taken a chance for that.

Went to the local Fleet Farm today to get oil. Everything was synthetic or partial synthetic. I finally found 2 boxes of conventional 10w-30 oil and bought both. I do not like synthetic oil in my T. It seems to leak more. Is the conventional being discontinued? Thoughts?

By chance are there any members selling Model T parts at the Cowtown Farmers market in Pilesgrove, New Jersey?

Q&A videos seem to be all the rage on people's YouTube channels right now, so I thought I'd try a slice of the pie, with a Model T flavor!
After trawling through some of the comments on my channel, I've whittled them down to 15 questions and put them into a video for you all.
If you have any comments or questions you'd like to ask and possibly...

A few months ago I traded my 25 year old Dodge in for a 4 year old Ford Escape, one with only 3 cylinders. Little did I know I would soon have another 3 cylinder Ford, this time the 1914 Touring.

After trying many things, going back to basics, switching things around, testing this and prodding that I finally made some progress. A suggestion off...

WTB: 1919-1921 Coupe with a pickup bed instead of the turtle deck. Running and drivable. Not interested in a Roadster pickup. 1919-1921 Coupe with turtle deck will be considered. (Am posting for a neighbor who does not have internet.) All leads are appreciated. Please send pictures via PM messaging. Thank you.

I am getting ready to mount my turtledeck onto the roadster bed behind the seat bucket. Should I put a layer of felt paper (maybe felt roofing paper) under the turtledeck? What was used originally if anything?
Thank you,
Craig

Kind of grainy looking.

Hello everyone, I recently went through my front axle and refreshed everything up: new tie rod bolts, spindle bolts, bushings, some ball joint shims (car already had some, I only replaced them and didn't add more), wheel bearings, the works. Didn't replace any large parts (e.g. tie rods, pitman arm), just cleaned up what was on there. During the...

I have this mid-teens(?) Holley G on a spare engine that apparently powered a saw bench way back when.

My 98-year-old Model T friend was over the other day and opined that it was a desirable unit for my newly-rebuilt '26 Touring engine (Z head, bigger valves, advanced timing gear, TW timer, well-balanced, hi vol intake manifold).

I read up a bit...

When did Ford change the design of the grease cups from the early style to the later style used until the end?

Checking to see if we have Model T guys close to Spring Texas?

Thanks

Fall is here. Time to cram in every touring opportunity. So yesterday the wife and I decided it was time to give Stanley our '26 Fordor some exercise.

24 coupe I dont know how to identify the carb for you guys but i assume its standard.. when i turn on the fuel petcock and allow fuel to flow into the carburetor, it starts leaking (with the engine not running) and drips once every four seconds. i think the leak is coming out of the air intake area but its hard to tell as there is one of those...

Does anybody have just one NOS narrow cotton band liner? My brake band is toast, but the 1 and reverse bands are in great shape, and I really would rather not have to switch the transmission over to kevlar or wood.

For Sale is a 1914 Roadster. This is an older restoration of an original vehicle. Since I have owned it, I have made a few repairs to the car.

There are a few...

Does anybody know who makes the pedal extensions for the clutch and brake pedals?

Part no. 3539C that attaches steering column to chassis rail. Will be made as mirror image of standard unit.
Most likely to surface in Australia, U.K., New Zealand or Argentina right hand drive markets ?
I could actually make use of 2 of them.

Sounds weird, but I need a scrap of old leatherette to patch a hole in the original upholstery on my 1916T. I know most people toss the old upholstery when replacing it, but you never know with T people: someone out there is bound to have some aged leatherette laying around!

I am looking for a Texas T/Bird Haven add on alternator kit, or at least the bracket for my 1918 touring. Please let me know if you have one to sell or at least a bracket to borrow so I can get one made. I called, they don't have em.

I was going to drive modern to the Old Car Festival but fate intervened. Yesterday I hit a curb that flattened two tires and bent the wheels. After a night in the hospital for observation, I'm home now. The docs think dehydration combined with too much blood pressure medicine and affected my driving. I will miss seeing old cars and old friends,...
