Hello everyone,

As some of you have already heard, I committed to obtaining several key Model T parts drawings from Benson Ford Archives. The purpose is for my ongoing 3D and schematic drawings to use a an educational tool for both here on the forum and for collectors.

A lot of the problem in rebuilding the transmission seems to be...

Check this out. Seems like they're made for reaming out triple gear bushings. But just doesn't make sense. Anyone know what they're designed for? Found 'em on eBay, pretty cheap. I already had the Wilson reamer, which I tested, and iit fits inside the fixture bores.

Interesting early Union Forge counter weighted crank on eBay. You can tell because of the “patent applied for” and the forge stamp of a “U” in a circle

I don't know how many times I have seen a what it's worth post but I'm in need of a answer. I have a For sale Vehicles ad for my 1925 Model T
Fire truck & have had 0 interest in it as of yet. I'm wanting to know what is the issue with it & what someone would be willing to pay for it?
Is there no interest in it, is it too high priced or are T's...

This was made from picture of the wrench, creating a cad file and sent to a 3D printer shop and printed out of stainless steel for ~$120 . All I know for certain is the hub cap end of the wrench fits and I have pressed pins into the spanner pin holes. I haven't a clue what the rest of the wrench is supposed to fit thus I...

I have a 22 touring and I put it away last fall. We pulled it out and it would not start. To cut to the chase; cleaned carb twice, charged battery several times, sprayed a little starting fluid, put oil in the cylinders, and finally restored to pull starting. It fired up immediately and ran beautifully. Put several miles on it, filled fuel tank...

I need to clean up some threads on a 1910 sediment bulb. What is the thread size for the hole where the fuel shut off valve screws into? I know the shut off valves had two different size threads on each side that almost look identical. Thanks!

I have a TT chassis with a Ruckstell rear end that needs a new home. I cant take pictures as it is surrounded by too much stuff. The wheels roll but are no good. No sheet metal, body, running boards, engine, lights, steering column or firewall. I would consider delivering to Luray in May if you make a nonrefundable deposit. $1000

Thought this would be of interest. Says it can be construction from the diagram. Safe to assume assume that the 1 x 2 lumber is exactly 1 x2 back in the day

Early style front engine mount used from 1909 to about 1921. Nice condition, u bolts are in great shape with excellent threads. Can be hard to find these u bolts that have good threads.

i set the body on the frame the other night and used 1/2 inch bolts to secure to the 6 frame mounts and everything seemed to line up but I see the front fourdoors seem to be above the firewall so I'm guessing the firewall was not raised up to where it should be. My question is am i overlooking something as when i picked up the car the firewall was...

One hundred years ago in March of 1926, My Model T coupe rolled off the assembly line. When it was 44 years old in 1970, 56 years ago I bought it for $600.00 and began restoring it when I was 16 completing it 2 years later when I was 18. I am now 72. Jim Patrick

Free: Three rusty side and tail lamp bodies. One tail lamp is pretty beat up, the other is just plain rusty. The side light body has a lot of surface rust but you might actually be able to bring it back. They're free just pay shipping. I would prefer to get rid of all of them at once.
