You are correct Steve, Timken bearings! Would you be willing to part with one so I can use my speedometer?
Thank you,
Mike

We use a flame to weld on gas tanks all the time when making repairs. While I am not implying this based on above comments, I have found in listening to folks' concerns, it is that generally people who give advice about not welding on fuel tanks have never done it themselves and typically are working off of hearsay. They have read about it on...

The problem with # 1 and # 2 is already in the Book :

If the top is stationary (not folding or flapping, i.e. laid down on wood) the traditional technique used on canvas covers over cabins and the like on boats was to pull the canvas a tight as possible, tack down, then wet the canvas with water, then apply oil-based paint of the desired color. As the water dries, it shrinks the canvas pulling it...

Good info on the starter switch protrusion thru the floor. Ill make a note for assembly. In looking at both switches, it doesn't appear that the short switch has ever been modified. The tabs are untouched. The tabs on the long switch do in fact look like they have been pried up and closed again. Both switches have the same travel of about 3/16”....

Stop for sale

I think what you're seeing there is an oil pump driven off the back of a non-model T generator. Cool stuff!

Given the human capacity for error, be thankful that anything works at all. :)

I blame the distraction of smart phones and social media... and probably the Model T Forum too :)

In addition to the above advice, always remember, heat the workpiece to be soldered and let the workpiece heat the solder. Do not heat the solder directly. That will only drop globs of solder on a joint that's too cool, leading to a cold joint .

I am the one making the LED kits . new brighter bulbs have been found Langs should have them in stock now. If you would like the new bulbs please get a hold of me . Old bulbs were 2w equal to 20watt halogen bulb. The new bulbs are 5w equal to 50w halogen . Plus the LED bulbs draw a lot less amps, also the LED bulbs are replaceable if they burn...

Thank you, any idea what they fit the way they are now? I should have a complete set if someone needs them, Bob

He told you: Y block Ford V8's.

BOB, FYI, Y block Ford V8's came in 272,292, and 312 cubic inch displacements. Ther may have been a larger Y block used in Lincolns or HD trucks, but not sure.

My car seems to enjoy running, and I certainly enjoy driving it.

Hi Robert,
I do a lot of idling in parades & I have not noticed any undo wear as of yet. I do use the hand brake lever to make sure I'm not dragging the
low peddle. As far as oil supplied with a Aux. oiler I had a line break an dumped almost all the oil out of the engine in just a few miles. I set
my spare engine up with a 3/8 clear plastic line...

No one makes a new 42 tooth ring gear. Good luck finding a good used one.

Everything you wanted to know about a T transmission but we’re afraid to ask.

Thanks to Herm.

Update, and more mystery. I checked my unrestored 1924 roadster firewall and it has those 2 holes with nothing going thru them. My choke and mixture go thru other holes in the firewall and spedo cable goes thru the floorboard.

I’ll have time Thursday to dig deeper, looking forward to seeing how the shift mechanism works. I’ll provide visuals on what I find.

As always, thanks for the help.

I have these

Back in the mid 1970’s I knew the person doing the bonded Model T transmission bands in Central California area. The linings were the same material as was used in old cable operated dragline brake drums that stop and hold the cables in use. Many such draglines from the 1950’s were still in use by irrigation districts back then. On the T bands they...

In 2011, I installed a Stewart 490 in my 1926 Coupe and posted the step by step procedure with 14 pictures. The most important thing was to get the hole in the right place to avoid the fuel tank in the cowl behind the dash. Jim Patrick

Larry, like it was said it in the old days, “ Don’t have a cow, man.”
I did a lot of work in the Visalia mall, the next city to the north, in the 80’s so I should have remembered the proper spelling of the city, sorry.

Model T Ron....that is a nice looking car. I wish there were white tires available when I restored mine.

They were sold Sunday AM. I tried to post that they were sold ,but it must have not been printed. Sorry for any inconvience. Ted

Ron, your beautiful touring is probly worth close to $20-22K. If for no other reason, it's CORRECT looking! And your white tires, well, they're just the cat's butt!! LOL

I think white tires add at least 5k lol

:lol: :lol: Oh no no..Probably $8K!!! Polished brass...add another $3K!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

So true Tim.....forgot about polished...

Hi Ron sent you a pm

I’ve read that the T ignition switch rebuild kits were scarce.
If a switch's problem is a warped backing plate, which it often is, that's usually an easy fix. I didn't know that until I opened up a switch and saw what was the matter with it.

Don Ellis, If Burlingtontguy is not interested in the tank I'm interested in purchasing it, and have I sent you an email. Thanks.

May 8, 1916 casting date. June 27th build date for engine number. Its a 1916 Touring with new lamp rims and chimney tops.

David,
This is a 1915 Ford Touring Car with, as you noted, a slightly later engine. It has always been registered as a 1915 and has 1915 CA license plates. During our many years of ownership no Model T-er has ever challenged...

Ford could not tolerate drunk or hung-over workers, or butt-hurt slackers, or the persistently inept, except by pricing his product a good bit higher. An impaired worker would have been a hazard to himself and others, as well as to the company. The Ford plants were among the cleanest and safest industrial workplaces in early 20th Century, if not...

Classtique Upholstery has some good videos on their website.

I bet that last one is from a tornado. Notice all the flattened corn stalk stubs facing the same direction.

Bump for this week. Never know if someone has one out there...

There are laundry facilities at every hotel along the tour route that we will be taking.

David,
look at the pics and see if you can find one that looks like what I posted. Or just try one that has good ratings.

Burger, Thats the coolest wood-getter ever! I fully intend to cut and haul firewood in my TT when finished.

I have what you are looking for.Came out of this car.

As a long time machinist with a pretty critical eye, I can say that these are some very nice looking parts! I wish I had an OF to utilize them.

I have a Lincoln 3-speed for my TT, but have not installed
it yet. These period aix. transmissions have straight cut gears,
and are known to whine. I liked the idea of putting that noise
out back by the rear end, rather than up front by the cab. My
truck is loud enough already !

Brass headlight rims sold pending payment

It may be a passenger car transmission modified for non-automotive use. I've seen a number of old, line-shaft driven machine tools set up to run off an electric motor thru an old car transmission to give a multi-speed drive.

This is a Model C 1 I have found some information that indicates this may be for a Model A Ford. Sorry for any confusion

I knew there was a lot of T guys in around Marquette. There may still be some. Most not on internet. Dan

I saw the ones RV made at Hershey, but there were none in his shop after he passed, and I didn't find any parts or drawings. Maybe Don Lang found something related to the project when he was in RV's shop.

If you find the correct color, you can successfully touch-up all chips by filling in the chipped and damaged areas with a very small brush dabbing on several coats and then, once completely dry, gently sand the touched-up areas flat with 600 grit wet/dry sandpaper being careful not to sand anything but the recently applied touch-up paint. Once the...

Thank you everyone. I have just purchased a pair of 13-14 rear end halves so am not in need anymore.

Babbitt is the way to go. If you use inserts, it would be best to also have a pressurized oil system, but to do that, you would need to drill the crankshaft. The bearings on a T crank are also small and the drilling would weaken the already weak crankshaft. With a new Skat crank, the babbitt bearings would wear for a long time and only need small...

Too late to change the cab wood now.............The top wood I had duplicated 7-8 years ago from what was on the truck. It was in good shape except for the slats. I assumed it was original. Anyway, I am making the canopy wood following the same pattern as the cab wood. This time chicken wire. I will probably redo the cab also.

Hope someday all us inquring minds learn the asking price of it. ;) :shock: :lol:
