I received a new radiator for my T and installed it. I have only driven car since maybe 30 miles or so. Recently I was looking under the hood on left side and discovered the overflow tube broke loose and just hanging from the tank on top. Also the old radiator had a couple ears toward the top where a couple screws went though the shell to support...

Thank you to Jarrod Williams for this video. I have not seen it before.

Last spring when I started working on my T the first thing I did was to remove the top because of rotted out tack rail & front bow. Now I am wanting to put same top back on as it is in good shape yet & I don’t see any reason to replace it. Has anyone done this before, & if you have, I would appreciate any thoughts of it can be done with good...

Anyone in the U.P. or Northern Wisconsin have a nice later Model T front axle?

I took the 1911 out yesterday for about a ten mile drive yesterday. The temperature here was in the high fifties and the roads were nice and dry. The Model T has been stored in my enclosed trailer all winter. It was so happy to be out it has given me four free starts in a row. I primed it by pulling the choke out with 3 quarter turns of the crank,...

Got this trans in a T parts pickup. I'm thinking it was with this T stuff because they we're looking to adapt it to a T somehow.
Any guesses out there?

Was the magneto coil wrap cotton or linen? Has anyone tried wrapping their windings with 100% lite weight cotton twill?
Comes in 1/2 too.

Is anyone running an original Stewart tachometer?
If so where are you driving it from?
Are they a 1 to 1 drive?
I was considering driving mine from the fan belt with a pulley
the same diameter as the crank pulley. It would be positioned about
where a a water pomp pulley would be located.
I need to look at some old water pumps to see if they...

Hello all. This is my first post to the forum. Last week I finally pulled the trigger and bought my first T. A 1926 Tudor.
LOTS to learn but I am enjoying every second of it. I am trying to identify the shade of green the car is painted in but am having some difficulty in getting an exact match. I have.seen others painted this color but no one...

Did the T's and TT's use chicken wire in their roofs ???

I decided that I wanted to give LED lights a try. I purchased 5-30 volts non-polarized bulbs. When they arrived I installed the first bulb and it light up nicely, but when I installed both neither worked. I tried again with one LED and one incandescent and it worked. One incandescent alone also works...

So then to eliminate any type of...

While this question does pertain to model t parts, I am really trying to figure out what I should expect from my lathe. I was going to try and chuck a model t transmission shaft up and true the flange like Mike Bender did in the model t tips video. I figured I would first indicate it in, and if that worked out, then I would buy a steady rest and...

Current status: Shifter broke where someone had previously welded the casting down where it attaches to the transmission. Easy enough fix, just need to order a new shifter.

In the meantime, the axle is in low and we've been graced with a few sunny days following more arctic-like weather. I'd like to drive the car and not be in low axle gear all...

I've been looking, without success, for the compression boost from the domed pistons offered by the vendors. From stock 4 to 1 to ???

I'm wanting to buy a rim spreader for a 1922 Stanley 7 passenger touring. Not my car but wanted to give it to him as a gift. Would any of the ones out there work or does it have to be bigger than what we use on a Model T.

My problem is with a 1920 engine.

The two different sized crankshaft pulleys are listed for 1920, one at the end and one at the beginning of years they fit.

I used the larger size pulley that should make the fan turn slightly faster!!

Hi All,

I have just stripped down the axle on my 1916 tourer. I notice that the half shafts with the half shaft gears attached rock up and down against the spider gears. I'm assuming this shouldn't happen - any idea of possible cause?

Many Thanks
