Exhaust Manifold broken.jpg

Many, many bad word were said.

This Frontenac exhaust manifold had been repaired (at least) once before and the flanges were so thin, spacers were needed for the manifold to clear the hogshead. There is no marking on the head, but the combustion chamber measurement indicates it is a Model T....

While I realize Ford never made a closed cab pickup, I wonder if I could get opinions on what year and model of closed car this one started out as. Sure looks nice!

A couple of months ago, I installed (5) brand new 4.50-21 Goodyear tires on the 21” split rims of my 1926 coupe. I took a picture of one of the labels. While I think I know what the numbers 4.50-21 mean, I am not absolutely certain. I have no idea what the CCAE1 means. Jim Patrick

My drill press quit, so I decided it was time to replace the 50+ year old wiring. My press had a reverse switch added in the 60’s and the insulation on the wiring was old, cracked. It also had a toggle switch that was like a happy dogs tail, loose and floppy.
So I went on the chase to fix and replace old wiring.
What a rabbit hole I have dove...

Recently I've helped a number of our club's new Model T owners with assessing the mechanical condition of their purchases. One common problem we found were rear axles that needed replacement - most damaged by the axle nut not being tight enough. Cracks radiating from the key slot, worn slots, corrosion / damage on the taper, etc., were the most...
