I am just now getting to the water pump on my 08 model SR. The water pumps were built into the radiator similar to the first 2500 T's, but ran off a gear mounted on the flywheel which is on the front of the engine. Mesh was adjusted through rubber pads/shims on the radiator mounting. I found that the gear on the water pump shaft is Fiber. The gear...

I know, it's your car and you can do what you want. But I have to confess that I'm a little disappointed when I see a pre-1926 Model T beautifully restored, with great attention to authentic detail, but with natural wheels. Before 1926 all Ford wheels were painted body color. In 1926 and 1927 varnished wheels became an option and were shown in a...

First correct answer. Only one clue, it’s T Ford related. The first correct answer can have a choice of one of our spring loaded oil can holders, or my left kidney. I’m still using my right one. 3B0EF058-56E3-4466-A36B-BE903B4A18E5.jpeg

Henry Ford was fascinated with watches as a child. He learned to take them apart and reassemble them at an early age.
Georges Frederic Roskopf developed “La Prolétaire” (People's Watch) in 1867, intended to be affordable by the masses.
I suppose it's possible that young Henry would have known about him and his watch, n'est pas?
