I am beyond livid right now trying to correct what IMHO is nothing more than poor craftsmanship on a set of nearly new reproduction Dog Leg Top Sockets. The issue is they bend because of incorrect gauge metal and poor craftsmanship. The first three trips the vehicle went on, it came home with bent sockets during transportation. Each time, I...

What is a suitable oil for my fan hub?
It seems like regular 30W or similar oil would seep out. Maybe that is the plan and the reason for the reservoir.

The manifold is in excellent condition, the ports look unused. The plunger spring takes more effort than first expected but it needs to cause the short burst of fuel. The green tap is preventing a new ferrule from sliding off. Have everything else per the parts list except the supply elbow and 3/8 supply line. These parts, from the plunger to your...

Hi all,
I'm installing a new top and I'm looking at the correct height of the #2 and #3 bows from the front of the windshield. In period photos, the #2 is almost always lower than the #3 bow. I can't seem to get the #2 bow lower. Mine always seems to be at the same height or above the #3 bow. The drawings I've found show that the height of the #2...

Helping sell a 1920s Autokamp trailer for an estate.

Hi All,
I've been having trouble with the starter. Previously the Bendix gear had gotten jammed against the Hogshead and the starter wouldn't move. I took it out and found that the end of the bendix head screw was sheared off. I got a new screw from the vendors and when putting it all back together, the woodruff key wouldn't stay in place. It was...

Hi all,

I'm working on disassembling my 3-speed aluminum Warford to clean it up and to change one of the gears out. The transmission was found in disuse, but inside was well lubricated and in generally good condition. The teeth on one gear were munched pretty bad, but other than that all looks well. The input side nut is being a little difficult...

Ford’s Model K, in addition to being the number one six cylinder car in production numbers in the world for both 1906 and 1907, had other unique features. One was a magneto invented by Ed Huff (who later invented the Model T low tension magneto).
Huff studied Nikola Tesla’s patented theory and invented the world’s first working CDI, or...

With the Holidays over and the bitter cold days of Winter dragging along, time to start thinking about Model T activities again.

Its that wonderful time of the year again!
Time to test and tune Model T coils for the Summer Touring season.

Learning the art of coil tuning is fun and easy to do with the right tools and videos.
Taking an active roll in how well your Model T runs also adds a very satisfying component to the Model T driving experience.

I am working on a 1914 roadster which has the original horn and tubing, both in great shape. The horn bulb however, is long gone and only the brass base of the bulb is left. I see that the vendors offer a 4 inch and a 3 inch diameter bulb. Which one is correct for this application for the 1914?

I was breaking down an early transmission/flywheel assembly and got a little surprise.
One of the magnets came off in two pieces!
It looks like it's an original assembly as indicated by what appears to be the original lock wire.
There was no indication the magnet was broken.

Yup - They're out there.

A friend has a problem that may relate to the TT Truck Rear Axle Ratio.

His TT Truck goes slower than most with a top speed of 12 miles per hour.

The rear axle ratio must be printed someplace, but I cannot find it.

The Model A used the same rear axle with different wheels.

Would that axle in a Model T make it run slower?

Are you bringing any of this type tire to the Homecoming, Richmond, IN?

If so, let me know so I can plan to come.
