Selling my dad’s 1916 model t. The body, interior, and frame are in good condition. I can’t get it to turn over and don’t have time to finish the project. All the parts are there and it did run when it was put in storage years ago. I’ll do my best to answer any questions but knowledge of this car is limited at best.

Hi all,

My name is Kevin and I'm the proud new caretaker of my late grandfather's model t.

tl/dr: I inherited a T. Bill Squires is awesome, and I'd never use anyone else. I'm in NW Tennessee, know little about what I'm getting in to, but know I want to do it right. I'd love to meet other folks in my area, even if it's just to share the love of...

Welcome to the hobby Kevin. You have a good start there plus it’s a memory of your grandfather. You’re in good company and you can get a lot of free advice out of the rest of us.

The journey:

Last fall I joined this forum.

Shortly after I found a local model T club and joined, along with my 12 year old son.

I was immediately welcomed and impressed by the people as well as the car. (the club has work days regularly at least 1 -2 per month)

I wasn't completely prepared to get a car... but I was inspired to begin...

You need the right spring to keep the crank away from the crankshaft. A little oil on the crank bearing from time to time will prevent wear and ease cranking. Any excess oil will probably get on the front spring, which is good for it. Many people say that rebuilding an original starter switch gives better results than most repro switches available...

Title is Spark Plug tire inflator which is partially correct. Yes, the device fits into a spark plug hole, and yes, it inflates tires....box says from flat to inflated in less than 2 minutes, but the pump can be used wherever compressed air is required: inflating beach toys, air mattresses, spreading pesticides or fertilizer, paint, blowing away...

I bought one of those in the '70's and used it for years until I accidentally melted the hose against an exhaust manifold. It works very well and there's no gasoline in the pump, as Dave mentioned. I know because I did the sniff test.

When it started to leak last year I attempted a repair with JB Weld's Tank weld. It held a year but I pulled on a loose end last week and it pulled right off.

Well, I picked up some carburetors at the Iola show last weekend - two L4 Kingstons (one bronze body, one iron) and a Holley G.

First post

I recently acquired a large group of ancient (1910's to 1930's) negatives from the Kansas City Southern Railroad. These were once part of the railroad's files and are generally photos of railroad structures and the like. The Ford Model T manages to show up in some of the photos, so I thought I would share them here.

Not a Model T this time but a bit of Model T era advertising in the form of a Champion Spark Plugs billboard from Siloam Springs, Arkansas.

Building is the railroad depot's Coal House , used to store the coal supply for the depot stoves.

It's always fun, to me, when working on the T, to look for where there is 'Ford' stamped into each and every part. I thought this would be a fun thread to have, posting pictures of all the 'ford's on our Fords. :)

I went through this a few years back. I built the area back up with weld and then used a die grinder to get it back to the original geometry. It’s been working fine since.

I started a thread here (Rejuvenating cam on clutch pedal) but I didn’t post photos of the result. I’ll see if I can find photos of the finished part.
