A century on, in most cases, the integrity of original parts can be questionable, especially cylinder blocks, crankshafts, connecting rods, u-joints, frames, springs, rear axles, and valves. But a number of Ts have been run many thousands of miles at speeds at or above 40 MPH with no issues. No matter what you are driving, or where you are driving...

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

Are you looking for aftermarket or the 15 only fork mounted electric lights?

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

The catalogue photo does not show a Michelin tube. That tube has a rubber valve stem. The Michelin tubes have a brass stem mounting vulcanised into the tube. A separate brass valve stem, the same size as the more prevalent Schraeder stem then threads onto that base in the tube. The metric equivalent shown is the size to fit 30 x 3.5 tyres. These...

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!

Still moving my shop around. It would be easier if i owned fewer things..
Just sayin'...

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. I agree with what has been posted and am convinced that the time to fire method of tuning produces a smoother running engine, not...

Right hand drive?

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.

Dan, I will take it, email sent

Can someone please post a link to purchase a “4-barrel needle and seat” as previously mentioned?

Thanks,
Rod

I have the general plans from the Henry Ford archives, but did not know there were more detailed plans available from Ford. May I contact you privately to ask who you spoke with at Ford for such info? Not sure I can afford the usage fees right now, but worth checking into. In the meantime, I will just measure actual parts as they become...

What year will they fit?

Pending to Michael. Please call us in the morning.

Knock off wire wheel hubs are designed to support the wheel both at the inner flange, and over the hub nut. Almost all hubs are dramatically reduced in size in the center as they rely on the tapered axle to reinforce strength to the outboard end. I would be very skeptical of any original rear hub adapted to mount only from the inner flange.

I've not had good luck with Model S carbs, so I use a trusty NH.

Thinking outside of the box:

It's a tool for ease of removing and reinstalling the hogshead using your choice of hoist, gantry, cherry picker, rope, chain, etc. There is an eyelet or hook that bolts to the top of it.

The stub on the right is a handle. A stub is not required for the left side because you can use the pedals as a handle.

I've seen this done on many sidelamps. Sometimes in period photos, and sometimes on lamps at swap meets. Not so much on restored cars.

Travis, I am just about an hour south of you and have assembled a working magneto/flywheel simulator that makes it possible to see and understand the construction and operation of the Model T system. You would be welcome to make a visit and we can discuss your situation at length if you would like. Email or PM me and we can discuss the...

Pedal ramp issue, missing a chunk of band lining, loose band adjustment??? Maybe all three.

The pan ears have 7 rivets. Tommy sent photos.
