I use B’laster Surface Shield®

It is very sticky and slimy so I put it in a zip lock bag after coating.
It can get very messy easily.
And it washes off easily when you finally want to use the part.

A lot of lubricants can prevent rust if put in a plastic bag.
I gave up using while lithium years ago, I blamed...

High Radiator, Low Radiator, It's both!
A low radiator is tucked inside a high shell

Run it the way it is and if anything needs fixing make it more correct if you want.
Looks like a great car to enjoy and not have to worry about.
The perfect example of how interchangeable Model T parts are.
I have worked on, driven (but not owned) a more mixed up...

Jeff:
many years ago at a farm auction i saw a T motor with a Dodge Brothers starter generator jury rigged on to the front cover using the DB sprockets and a crude assembly of angle iron and flat plate ... possibly any DC motor might be adapted for this purpose and also double as a generator ...Gene French

Certainly tractor or industrial.

Sent email yesterday please check your email. Thanks Dan

I don't know, maybe it is just me? Maybe I am wrong? But when I look at the photo looking through the wheel spokes and look at the spring perch? It looks to me like it is the correct perch on the correct end/side of the axle.
The photos aren't giving us a really good view of things. It also appears to me that the axle may be twisted slightly. The...

Thank you for the suggesttion :) I'll see what I can find!

Consider adding Cal Stewart’s 1919 Columbia recording of “Uncle Josh buys an automobile.”

How can I help?

It looks like a casted oil pan and my guess is there is some sort of oil pump that runs off the cam. If you look closely there is a little oil sight glass.

The 6 flat sided disks are the 26-27 style and also sold as replacement parts later in production.
They are also required when using the replaceable lug up to '25 drums.
The brand new drums being made require these.
You drew a valid Ford part, just not the target year.

99% of the Model T parts changed between car #1 and car #15 million.

Sold to Charlie. Sorry Ed, thank you . you are 2nd in line if Charlie does not take it.

I think I've answered my own question by an earlier photo that I took of my timer's brush two weeks ago.

That rim is undoubtedly a Canadian rim. The holes in the side at the split and the type of clip at the split are indicators. Your clip is incomplete and damaged, and is missing a pin to hold it together.
The inner felloe edge looks to be flattened, perhaps by running it at some time without a rim fitted. However, the register mark made by the rim...

I have a bunch of fronts and wheels not to many rears shoot me a message I'm in wi as well

Send me a note.

Thanks, now I need to find one for a complete set. Dan

Felloes would need extensive straightening or re-rolling.

I'm going this year. I'm looking for 23 coupe (suicide doors). interior parts and passenger side door latch.

Mike, Your assumptions are almost entirely correct. In the interest of clarification I will restate that the genesis of this project was to create a mechanism which would allow me to test various versions of rare earth magnet replacements, primarily as an experiment. There are many options for rare earth magnet types (high temperature neodymium...

Congratulations! That has to be a tremendously rewarding project, one that meets the Steve Jelf definition of 'rocket surgery'. Best to you, jb

TTT please !

TTT please !

All bolts sold to Jon thanks !

Thanks Henry,
I just bought one to put in the spare parts toolbox.

Some shims and caps!

Update, still searching for the right car. It's tough finding a 1914. Hoping to hear back from Don.

My gut is telling me it was a 26-27 coupe wood window frame body then chopped off right behind the quarter windows and reworked to make it into a truck.
The seam for the center rear upper panel is now bent to be sticking straight out the sides.
It has some kind of car to truck conversion (extra and longer frame rails) adding the stake bed to the...

Yep. I wonder if it was store-bought, or home made from an old casing or boot top and wired-on or laced-on with cord of some kind..... . Bumpity bump, shimmy and shake! The tires look a little under-flated, so maybe he had just got a rim cut.

Well, it's not a TT frame, and interesting use of a mating plate to adapt a car torque tube, ya wonder what happened to the TT torque tube given it would have to use a TT drive shaft (shortened as well), not a car ds, to spline into the worm.
Use what ya got!

With snow on the ground its the perfect time to learn the art of coil tuning and play an active roll in how well your engine runs this touring season.

Check out the MTFCA Coil Testing and Tuning Webinar on Youtube:

Its a great review of the Model T ignition system, Model T coils; how they work and how to properly tune Model T Coils.
Great...

It’s a reference from the Model T Ford Service Manual.

Has anyone tried annealing the bras crimp ring and re crimping it?
Also anyone here live close to Hartsville SC?

That rim is indeed a Canadian rim. The give away is the pair of holes in the side of the rim each side of the split. These are there to accommodate a special tool used to split the rim. There are two similar pieces on each side of the split, like T model door hinges. A pin fites between the two pieces when the rim is properly, just like the hinge...

Many years ago there was a shop in town that specializes in Carburetors. On their counter was a carb off a B17. That thing was huge! Dan

Likely the same type as the ones we play with. The B 17s used R1820s. The T 28s do as well, although with a few changes.

Larry, No truer words were ever spoken! :D Russ

Gulf T's is disbanded, it was Kathy Tagert I was in contact with. Several from that club attend events organized by a South GA group, there was one last Fall in Tallahassee I missed, unfortunately.
My '14 wasn't local, it lived its life in Michigan, but nice to know there may be another '14 close by.

Finding a 55 210 2dr Chevrolet in good shape isn’t easy to find! Lot of those were hot rodded when I was in HS in the later 60’s. By now when you find one they are usually just a shell of a body at the end of the road. When you find one it definitely won’t be real cheap if it’s in decent shape.

I decided to put together a dedicated video of Austin:

It’s genuinely inspiring to see an 18-year-old with this level of passion for the Model T hobby. Austin’s enthusiasm, knowledge, and willingness to get involved give a lot of hope for the future of antique car preservation.

If you haven’t watched it yet, it’s well worth the time.

Wow, I love it! Unmolested originals have always been my favorites. Bondo and paint can cover a lot of bad things and some restorations are sub par. They are only original once and deserve respect and preservation.

It was a great clinic as always. It was fun looking at serial number 22, but darn, there's now another preteen Model T in Kansas older than mine! :D

Thanks to Aaron, Chris and all the others who planned and put on the clinic!

I have acquired one Wilson hand cranked coil tester, one motorized Wilson coil tester, a StroboSpark, and an ECCT, over the years and have spent considerable time rebuilding and then checking a number of coils on them.

Nice job on the flapper project!

About twice the speed of an ordinary phonograph record.

LOL My ordinary phonograph records are 78 or 80 RPM! :lol:

I don't think any two of them were actually 100% identical, contrary to the legend.
