Good score Terry, I ran a Giant Power Head on a ‘23 touring that I sold. It greatly increased performance. Same as the Waukasha Ricardo presently on my ‘19 sedan. Congrats !!

Hey Mark I will take 2 26/27 brake cams if you have any left. Tim

Great that someone decided to make a replica ! I cannot believe it. Is there a specific reason they did this ?

Found this photo. Dan is it one of the Wanderwell cars?

An Amilcar in Pakistan:

The OP seems to have found the requested parts. FWIW, p/n 3507 is the Steering gear internal gear and bushing , p/n 3504 is steering gear cover , both parts used 09-26 according to1926 Ford parts list. P/n3539D is steering gear bracket assembly for coupe , roadster, tudoor and touring. jb

You are correct on all accounts, part...

Tom, if all you need is a ball, the tie rod balls available from the vendors are the same size. I use them to replace the worn balls on early pitman arms.

Thanks for the heads up on the availability of the P-202 differential housing. I spoke to Dave at Chaffin’s today; he was very helpful, as always. He said they are trying to expedite a small batch of housings from their machine shop, and would have more definitive information tomorrow.

Hi Steve. Glad to see you back. We missed your comments and suggestions of our videos. You were out of commission for quite awhile. Vintage auto camping to us is anything that people did back in the day. We knew about the Auto Camp in Indiana, but was unable to attend. I'm in touch with Linus from time to time. He has been trying to help us find a...

No I mean the tie rod between both front wheels. Early pre 12? had one end threaded and an adjustable end. This is new manufactured bot from langs, paid nearly $200 with freight.

brasscarguy.

Thanks for the tips.

Didn't know these are hard to find? While looking for ( actually I was digging through boxes trying to remember where the heck I stashed all my
21 tubes ) I found 2 that I forgot I had. One Universal brass stem & one real heavy rubber stem marked made in EEC? They have been stored in
the A-C for all of the time I have had them & they show no...

Your picture of the car being pulled from the barn says it all! Now that is a genuine barn find! Not a T that was restored 20-30 years ago but one that genuinely has never been touched when it was put in the barn. Thanks for sharing your wonderful ORIGINAL BARN FIND T !
And it’s remarkable that the top and windshield are still in great condition.

Got in touch with him, I am on his list to buy. Put me on the list for the reamer set. Let me know if you want to take deposits. Have we hit 12 yet ?

Thanks,

Greg

Dan wants everyone to send him an email to get on his list. His email is in the top post.

Sold to Shannon in Texas

Now where did I see the diagram, (actually a drawing), of the axles being wrapped with felt “rope” in a screw pattern to wind the diff lube back into the pumpkin? There was a right and left method to the wrap so that forward motion would wind the lube back to center. Isn’t that what we’re looking at here in the first pic?

The engine looks as pretty as a Bugatti ! A clean and well done job from what I see. Idea- perhaps add a picture showing the rockers and shafts ?

Tim, it looks like it would work on a roller timer but not sure how it would wear. I’ve got to determine what the brush is made of. It’s not carbon, brass or copper on 1st inspection.

Any chance you are coming to Santa Margarita for the RPM Nationals this weekend?
Thanks, Chris

So today 4 of us just did one of our simple yet pleasurable picnic tours. Went to Lakeside park in Huron, right in front of where I spent 4 years as a kid ironically. Nice refreshing light lake breeze, toured well out SE of Berlin Hts area and returned back through Huron on way home but NOT without the obligatory ice cream stop! Also a short...

Hi Clay, I'll take it. PM me with your address again. Thanks Rich

I'd go with an EE crank which are said to be the strongest Ford crank made, if it were mine. No one's going to know the difference, and even if you were the type to enter judging contests, judges aren't going to tear your motor down for inspection like they would at a NASCAR or NHRA event.

Go to this page. Look and post here….

Thanks Dan ! I found the pix helpful !
Another interesting detail in the minutiae of T parts !

Here is just one example of a speedometer that was mounted to the cowl.. This one is a Sears-Cross. Following July 1915, Ford did not install speedometers in thier cars. Consequently, the same manufacturers that provided the Ford Special speedometer continued to sell speedometers to the Ford owner. Attaching the speedometer to the cowl is just one...

Those are the mystery critters - same screws in identical locations.

There was no material remaining on mine but they were proud of the surface so I figured that something has rotted away so probably holding some kind of material.

Many thanks for this help, Bruce.

That makes good sense John, but, it would only apply to demountable wheels. Our Canadian Cars came with 30 x 3.5 tyres all round. Were there 3 demountable rims on wheels in the USA?

Allan from down under.

There were no 3 demountables in the US, at least common knowledge wise.

My SWAG is a 30x3 tire on a bare rim (24 ) could be placed on a...

The 2 switches on the right could be for high/low beams.

Sold to thighs bidder for $0. Thanks MTFCA

Matt. We have about 10,000 miles on our T. All in the Ozarks of Arkansas. We use the Texas T oiler and stock T inside oiler like a lot of the others mentioned. Now our mountains are not as big as the Rockies and Sierras but we are mostly off road and even run trails with the Jeep guys. So we are climbing steep grades on gravel and working the crap...

Drained the oil. Nothing there. Wonder what is on the inspection cover. Will know soon enough.

Conroe is very hit and miss. In general, very few Model T parts. It has become much more of a flea market post Covid. I’ve found some decent items over the years, but be prepared to wade through Lots of common SB350 & 4x4 stuff.

Tad,

I’d really appreciate it. Thank you.

Further investigations show the Stratton advert only appears to have been placed the once in the Fordowner April 1918 issue and no further mention anywhere else was ever seen ??
Having viewed the ad as John commented You were supposed to pay them for that . Mr Stratton ( if he was the actual person asking for agents) no one would have been...

MTFCA is late this year. I thought they were usually in June. I could be wrong.
MTFCI tour is always 3rd week in July.

2025 Speedster Rally is June 11-14 where they hold the covered bridge tour.
Lincoln Speedster Reunion is always 3rd weekend in June. (18-21 in 2025)

Calendar is getting crowded.

That's an impressive lineup! It's fascinating to see the evolution of car design over such a span of time. The Packard must really stand out next to the other two. And those high-quality mirrors sound like a smart upgrade for your vintage ride.

I've copied all the photos here and even the ones on the links from the old forum, but I still need to see parts of the block that aren't showing in any of these. So it looks like I'm going to have to start with my 24 engine and I have access to a 21's, a 16's and a 26's and then work my way back from those. I really did want to start with the...

Thanks for all the input! I really appreciate being able to tap into the collective knowledge of you folks who have been there and done that.

Be careful about driving very far with them slightly dragging. It could heat up the hub enough that your axle grease softens to the point of escaping around the seal and making a royal mess inside your hub and dripping down your wheel. Don't ask me how I know.... ;)

Don't know anything about them but I know I want one when I grow up. :)
Try the links I just found. Perhaps a bit of info out there and hope this helps.

Thanks for the advices.
I tried to measure the inside diameter of the axle housing. It was the standard size, about 2,21 inch. I hammered the bearing out with an old axle shaft. Modern Bearing is removed and housing is ready for original sleeve and Hyatt Bearing

I need glasses. I even read the post several times and did not spot it! Thx. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ur welcome and been there too!!! :lol: :lol:

Mark, that cleaning vinegar that I have is 30%. Household vinegar is 5%.

Sounds about right, didn't look that close but recall the number was double digit. :)

Going to Mike.

The lower gray one is sold.

RE the adapter: I have to go check mine but pretty sure there is a spring that fits in the square hole that presses it away from the output shaft and helps keep it engaged with the tabbed part on the transmission but is not shown in above drawing.

Correct.

There is about a 3/8 hole in the drive square for a spring that would press against the...

It is comforting to see three 1914's with the horns mounted correctly!

I know what you mean! However, photo number two also appears to be a 1914, but with a louvered hood.

That number fourteen speedster, I wonder if they were going for the Beast of Turin? Or maybe a tall and narrow Great War airplane fuselage?
Wonderful speedster either way....

Hi Jim,
I have a set what did you need to know? NO not for sale @ this time. They where made by A-C for Montgomery Wards from what I have heard.

Hi Kevin,
As a young boy the Avanti was my first love up until I was ready to buy my first car, then affordable became my first love. I'm pretty sure I would
never find a Avanti for $35 :lol: I'm pretty sure I had every plastic model of the Avanti made @ least twice. I feel kind of bad that a set of Buffalo
wheels with tires is almost as far out...
