Located in No. Illinois, I am hunting for a couple of 30x3 used but drivable tires.

Does anyone have a couple collecting dust?

Thanks,
Jim in Oswego

First Brands appears to be filing for Chapter 11 and state that Autolite is one of
the brands to be discarded. I called around for Autolite 3095 and no one had any
in stock. I was able to order some mail order, but I am wondering what will be
available after those are gone. Just Champion X or do some of you use something
else?

I need to clean up some threads on a 1910 sediment bulb. What is the thread size for the hole where the fuel shut off valve screws into? I know the shut off valves had two different size threads on each side that almost look identical. Thanks!

Was cleaning up an area in the garage today and came across an old Craftsman hand carry tool box. Opened it up and sat down and went thru it. Going thru the tools in it was like visiting with old friends I had not seen in years. Some of these tools had helped me make a living for years and it was nice to handle them again and put them into another...

This morning while checking the tire pressure I found a screw in my Blockley front tire. I guess it didn't make to the tube as the still had good air pressure and who knows how long its been in there. It renewed my faith in the Blockley tires and tubes. I bought these tires a couple years ago before all the issues with shipping. I'm going to order...

Check this out. Seems like they're made for reaming out triple gear bushings. But just doesn't make sense. Anyone know what they're designed for? Found 'em on eBay, pretty cheap. I already had the Wilson reamer, which I tested, and iit fits inside the fixture bores.

I have a 22 touring and I put it away last fall. We pulled it out and it would not start.

It fired up immediately and ran beautifully. Put several miles on it, filled fuel tank...

One hundred years ago in March of 1926, My Model T coupe rolled off the assembly line. When it was 44 years old in 1970, 56 years ago I bought it for $600.00 and began restoring it when I was 16 completing it 2 years later when I was 18. I am now 72. Jim Patrick
