Looking to buy a McCord Oiler for a Model S.

Has anyone ever used one of these? Did the wood float hold up with the ethanol in the gas? IMG_7475.jpeg

Ad states no title, no motor or transmission, and I do not see top irons or bows. Picture is not a close up, but it doesn't look like a rust bucket and fenders don't look all bent up.

Was this a scrap drive or just a wrecking yard over run with T’s getting ready for the scrapper. I think I’ve seen this before but can’t remember where. I’m thinking it’s in the early 40’s or before. Looks like it was few other makes too but not many.

Have an NOS 09-25 Watts clutch. Will trade for a 26-27.

I’m looking into why the magneto isn’t working on my ‘26. I’ve checked the post and it was fine. I just now checked the endplay and it seemed fairly significant to me. It’s an exaggeration, but I would say it’s nearly 1/8”. That’s just a guess. The black book talks about an oversized bearing endcap. Do they still make those? Lang’s only shows a...

Hi All,
Long time lurker, reader, and researcher, first time poster

I've been doing the Model A thing for almost 20 years with a 1928 Phaeton and 1931 CCPU so I thought I had ol' Henry figured out, but the Model T seems to be a different beast.

I am working on a what I thought was a 1923 Model T Roadster (with the wooden pickup bed accessory...

I recently inherited a good 17 engine sitting on a garbage late production chassis. I have been halfway looking for the bits to make make something usable out of this chassis but it needs everything.

I sold the Stevens Axle Tool and a person claiming to be me contacted the buyer. He wanted him to send him the money. He was calling from a 270-632-0562 number. I had several people interested so I don't know how he figured out who it was.

Hi everyone,
I just finished installing new axle shafts in a Ruckstell differential and I’m wondering if I did right to use anti seize on the tapers. Evidently there has been some debate on the matter. I also installed new hubs. Any thoughts appreciated!

I have two glass spare headlight reflectors. They are both the same diameter, but one is thicker and heavier than the other. Since the headlights are John Brown, I would assume the lighter one would be what was used. I'm not willing to remove the reflectors from either one of my '13s to find out!

How does one remove the front seat cushion ( back) on a 27 touring?
This one was recently re upholstered, looks like the covering is stapled in place, if so does this require pulling all the staples and then replacing them?

More stuff - make an offer ! The Hassler springs & cups are powder coated. One of the early oil caps appears to have been nickel plated ?

Does this date really mean anything for a Model T or is it only because it is used on aircraft?
Why does it expire? Looks like vaseline in a tube.
Thank you.
