Awesome accessory rear spare tire carrier. Holds two tires. License plate bracket attached. Made by Humboldt Machine and Stamping Co. Long Island City NY. This was on the back of an ‘11 I had. It clamps around the frame/spring. Needs new leather straps. I can disassemble and get it into a reasonable sized box for shipping or pick it up in northern...

Getting into rebuilding the rear axle on my 1927 Touring, took the drive shaft apart and there is a modern bearing in the spool, not sure what the part is called, and no roller bearing, whats going on there.
I need new everything, drive shaft, roller bearing, spool, pinon gear, the only thing that looks good is the thrust bearing, what is a good...

I need to replace the bushing at the front of the oil pan that the starting crank goes through. What is the best and easiest way to remove the old bushing? The bushing is probably frozen into the pan.
Thank you in advance, Craig

Today was the first time putting the top up on the 26 Touring.
I was able to get the top up but it doesn’t look right to me.
The side brackets are hanging down below the bottom edge of the fabric. Plus the edges of the fabric seem to be loose?
I’m hopping the attached pictures will explain better .

I have 6 nice late style wishbones. All have very slight wear on the ball. $25.00 each plus shipping. Kdmks AT att.net.

I saw this on tbay, trying to sell whole lot, but maybe they want to sell cars separately, but there’s two 1910 projects for sale. Who knows it might be worth following up on if you are near Mississippi.

Wayne is having trouble finding anyone that will cut & install early ford windshields for his 12 & 14 T's. Everyone he has been sent to is either out of business or no longer provides the service for flat glass. Does anyone know of someone in the Austin Texas area that will do these.
Thanks.
Craig.

Does anyone use Seafoam in their T or TT? We use it in our 1925 Touring and 1923 TT Firetruck. What do you all think of Seafoam for a T? We use it on each tank.

I have a good sized collection of original Ford T literature, and have heard for many years, the Ford actually had a listing of Ruckstell parts in his late parts book. I finally saw an example of one of these on the Ford fix website. It is a fake to be sure, probably botched together by Polyprints back in the sixties. They even misspelled AXLE!...

just had a valve job done by a well respected mechanic on my 1917 engine. Crank is in car and complete valve train but I have not yet installed the pistons.

I have three rebuilt Stromberg OF carbs. Complete, tested, and ready to go. I used some of the Tim Morsher steel replacement parts on these carbs. All three have new steel needles (identical to the originals) and the extra choke spring added so you can use the stock T choke mechanism to pull the choke on and the spring pulls it open .

I am painting my 1912 commercial roadster dark blue with black fenders. Were the open door sill moldings painted blue or black? What about the hood former, the hood shelves and rear sear riser molding that curves up from the floorboard to the top of the platform the rear seat sits on. The car won't be pin striped.

Have been to the 'Pantheon' in Basel / Switzerland yesterday.

Is anyone in this group in Oregon? If so, my father-in-law purchased a 1919 Model T Touring from the wife of the late Harold Berentson. Harold was a member of the Historical Automobile Club Of Oregon... Just wondering if anyone in the group knew Harold.

New part, exactly correct. Finishing up a short run and will be available next week

1922-23 Model T Touring, titled as a 1926 (the engine is a wide band 1926, engine number 12521890, October 1925)

A little over three years ago I bought this from the estate of a man who built and owned many, many Model T’s, but this was the only one he kept for himself.

It starts, runs and drives very well and I have enjoyed many hours toddling...

In the Canadian province of British Columbia in 1922 they switched from driving on the left to driving on the right.
Curiously While I have seen/found RHD hogsheads in both aluminum and cast iron, I have not seen one with a starter.
Perhaps ford switched to selling LHD cars there in 1919 anyway!

Yesterday, we delivered my 1927 coupe to the paint shop. I will send photos as the prep and painting proceeds.

Does anyone have this 'Wells System' or at least know how it works? I saw this pic on the Internet and am trying to find out more information about it.

Anyone else going?

When the Stromberg OF was sold to mount in a Model T, it came with a choke control that mounted on the steering column. When you started the car with the starter on a cold day, you simply put it to Choke (full on ) and once the car started, you immediately moved the control to rich/run which opened the choke plate from full closed to only...

These are from a very nice solid pair of 21” wheels. They were very nice and tight and also very tight into the steel felloe. That original 100 year old hickory grain is hard to match. Spokes are all marked in order that they came out of the rim. Scrape them down and assemble two wheels at a nice savings. $56 includes delivery to your mail box....

Has anyone had any experience with the reproduction visor frames? I am having a hard time tracking down an original and an original that isn't all rusted out.

The old motor was to be repurposed to another T, this is some 10 years later. A bad cam was suspected for the poor running. The cam was pulled & showed nasty wear on 5 of the...

Anybody try the fuel scent additives?
