I recently replaced the bushing for the hand crank. I cannot engage the claw with the pin on the crankshaft. The crank with out the claw mounted on it appears to be hitting the front of the crankshaft too high for alignment of the claw, in othewords the bushing is not correctly in straight. What did I do wrong, and how do I avoid this issue when I...

For those who might be familiar with Model T Ford Speedster Performance Equipment, what do you think about running a 16 Valve Model C Roof Head in a Speedster? Are there any mechanical or reliability issues that I might want to be aware of or maybe be watching out for when out motoring? ...Or, are they as reliable and easy to run as any other...

Just wondering if anyone else has seen anything like this. I found it in the 1912 I brought home this last weekend.

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 recently had to replace my original 1916 round gas tank. the left end had been cut open by a previous owner and poorly repaired. 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. Due to time constraints I ordered a new tank from Kevin...

Well, I picked up some carburetors at the Iola show last weekend - two L4 Kingstons (one bronze body, one iron) and a Holley G. I spent some time disassembling and cleaning them up, and it looks like I won the lottery on the Holley, with the exception of the float. As for the Kingstons, between the two of them I've got enough good parts to build...

Hello, my name is Kevin and I just purchased a 1923 Ford Model T Tudor. The car is very complete and original looking. It needs a few things to get road worthy. One thing it is missing is the gas tank. I've been a car guy all my life, so not new to cars. My question is this, where does the gas tank reside in a Tudor? The information I have read...

Saw this on Detroit Craigslist. Good looking 1925 runabout with a peddlers box. Not mine so please do not contact me.
IMG_6602001.jpg

I was just thinking about this. It's not the question you would think. What I've been wondering is this: how long was the T considered a viable, sought after piece of transportation back in the day? When did they disappear from being seen regularly on city streets, parking lots, Used Car Dealers lots? Was it because they were an old used car or...

Anybody have one?

Thanks,
Michael

Here are a couple pictures of some original striped wheels. I think the color photo is of a pre-1912 and the black and white is of a 1912. I am going to get my wheels striped so I am interested in which is original for my late 1911/early 1912 Commercial Roadster. I personally prefer the striping in the color photo, but will go with what is...

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.
