Some work requires total concertation while other tasks are tedious and boring. The latter allow your mind to wander and ever require other thoughts to keep at it. I often think of good times spent with old friends or family. Sometimes I wonder what the guy at the factory who assembled this or that was like or how he did his task. Today while...

I am starting a pie wagon project and plan to have interior lighting which will recuire 12 volt system. I have read the posts suggesting that running 12 volts to the starter is hard on the flywheel and ring gear. My question can I have my 6 volt starter converted to 12 volts and if so would the converted starter be as hard on the fly wheel?

Guess our national leaders didn't expect this.

I have a frame that appears to be a '25 ( only 2 rivets on on hand brake pawl ) It has a serial number C726397, does the C indicate Canadian? Also the front crossmember is located on top of the side rail instead of above, and the side rail is stepped to allow for this. Can anybody shed some light on this ?

Does anyone know when Ford went from the one piece dust ring held on with a screw in front of the terminal stud to the split type held with a bolt and nut? McCalley's book shows a generator on page 277 with the early setup. The stud is not attached to the buss bar like the later ones. Pictures don't want to post today!

Saw this in a video on youtube, looks like a few levers or keyboard thing? Video never mentioned it.

I want to mount a small tool box onto the running board of my 1912 Flanders, but I don't want to drill any holes in the running board.
