Loved the video, Dad's wife has dementia or something, he has been dealing with it for 5 years now. She is combative and her vocabulary is short and loud! Dad is 8 years older and has been able to handle her well. We help where we can. She has never liked any of us kids but is nicer to us now that s...

Excellent! Congratulations to Darin and all the other founding members who did this. The website is impressive, especially when you consider that a lot of local clubs don't even have email or a phone number.

I'll second that!! jw

John Warren

Sounds like great news Jeff, I went one year ago, loving it but the money could be better.

John Warren

Dang Norm, you must almost as old as dirt,

Thanks for sharing. jw

John Warren

And talk about an oil leak when it knocks the bendix cover loose! Good catch, I use lock tite on those bendix bolts now. A friend has that over drive, with a push or pull of the switch it is in or out, with the ruckstell it is an amazing combination! If you ever get back in town look us up! Also a g...

John Warren

That was my first thought Allan, Must be another bridge right? Mud bogging has been around a long time. Maybe the guys repairing the tire had the same conditions? The roadster setting between the two touring cars, you sure can see how much narrower the top is. Can't imagine that many cars parked in ...

John Warren

Great way to do that Steve!, I have done something similar just using rtv silicone. Not using any gasket, smear on the rtv then a temporary wax paper gasket. Install with just enough pressure to flatten and extrude some rtv, let it dry and remove the wax paper= reusable gasket with no other sealer n...

John Warren

You make it look easy, Thanks jw

John Warren

Absolutely, happy retirement

John Warren

Should be something like a 4V, V meaning vertical, and I think 4 being four quarters of an inch.

I run a 6V on my race car.

John Warren

Extra gas. Some kind of BIG squeezer to unseat the tire, if you are going to un-mount the tire. Split screw driver to start blade screws, (bendix cover). Throw in a coat and or a blanket, getting cold is always uncomfortable!

John Warren

Thank You Guys for taking the time to share! Wish I could have made it! jw

John Warren

Yes your keyway looks bad, It wouldn't hurt anything to jb weld it, Or you could loc tite it! I have run such things. Your threads look good, the reason as stated, your key way is bad was it was run loose. The hub will also be worn. Axle shims and a specially built key will take up the slop. Most im...

John Warren

Thanks Dan,

I finally know.

John Warren

Maybe a little off topic but, did Canada ever make hubcaps? I have a 26 Canadian touring car.

John Warren

Is one the bands to tight or is a pedal depressed for some reason, with the clutch out everything is a brake!

John Warren

Rob, Love your stories and your photos, the color ones add a whole new prospective. Thanks for taking the time! jw

John Warren

Nice, cold here today so yah sounds like a good idea. Always love a good coffee cup. I didn't know they had such things. Thanks for sharing.

John Warren

That is a good one Rich! jw

John Warren

John Warren

Looks like Ford, late Model A or may be 34.. . I would be interested!

John Warren

Robert, You could use a high strength loctite on that pin and it would work fine. Locktite is some great stuff and where you have it clean, it would work no problem. Red or Green are usually the high strength ones.

John Warren

How are you doing on your truck? Definitely has a bad exhaust gasket on #1. Check the points and condenser. Also like said Check the cap. May just need points reset. They get where they stop opening.

John Warren

It is a very handy position for these repairs, thanks. jw

John Warren

It looks like the one Steve made should work very well!

John Warren

Been doing some repair on the 26 coupe.

John Warren

It is already crack drilled by the bolt hole. It cracked because to is too close to the edge. I don't think I would f with it because it will crack again. Just run it!

John Warren

One like this was on here a while ago. What is it?

John Warren

Beautiful Kile, Love it!! Thanks for sharing.

John Warren

It is in creditable how much information this forum has to offer. Special thanks to Wallace for tracking it down, and thank you all for your time and interest. I was thinking the same thing about it being a speedster. I am hoping to procure the car.

John Warren

Wow what a fascinating bunch of photos, it really takes you back in time. Thanks jw

John Warren

I like the New Day timers, It is some what hard to get a good one. I am also running a Cristal timer and am happy with it. My roller timer came apart and left me stranded. The thing to take away from this is carry at least some parts if not a complete extra timer, had I had a spare roller I would h...

John Warren

I appreciate everyone's help and interest in the mystery car. It definitely looks like Wallace is on to it. It would be a fun car to play with, but also looks expensive to do anything with. I'm sure support is little to none. Thanks All. jw

John Warren

I see now that I probably was mistaken thinking I saw the car, the one I saw probably was the 15. Both WOZERS .

John Warren

I will second 7018 rod. I would use 3/32 @about 90 amps. I have used it very successfully. 7018 is a malleable rod and is a perfect match with the pedal material. 100% weld is easily obtained by chisel shaping the joints, like said making the joint at an angle will make the joints longer and stronge...

John Warren

Great to see it going, I was drooling on it when I purchased the Canadian engine from you. A beautiful thing!! Thanks for sharing.

John Warren

Correct, nothing on the hubcaps. Six cylinder over head valve. Aluminum block with engine mounts cast on. A friend thought it could be a Lycoming engine. I know in the thirty's, Lycoming used a flat head.

John Warren

Hi , I came across this and would like to find out what it is.

John Warren

Jim, could you post more on how to use the clamp. It looked to be in the way to set the hogs head, so we wired it and went on.

John Warren

Jerod,Great going and looking good!! Thanks for taking us along. jw

John Warren

After straightening out the bolt holes in the oil pan and access cover knowing it is going to happen again as soon as the pan is tightened, I have opted not to use gaskets, just a little rtv. I still use the hogs head felt with rtv worked into both sides. Not had any trouble going this way. Even on ...

This guy has no problem getting the gas cap out! Check it out.

John Warren

Thanks Joe for re-posting. It is the first time that I have seen " IT " and it was great seeing the transmission in action.

John Warren

Now days my smart phone is my camera, the new forum is very friendly posting photos directly from my phone.

John Warren

Nice to see you guys out having fun! Thanks for sharing. jw

Now that looks like a dandy meeting to me! Sure glad you can still have them.

Good Job Frank, another way to to this is to load it on a trailer and tie it down. How does the doors fit now?

John Warren

John Warren

This is Carson's transmission drums. The gear on the low drum is galded and broken and the bushing is scored and loose. I'm thinking not enough clearance when installed.

John Warren

Love this.

John Warren

Nice collection.

John Warren

John Warren

Nice engine! Keep us posted.

John Warren

Wow. that is really something to see the Native American Indians in cars. Love the photos. As a child I spent a couple of years on an Indian reservation. The company Dad worked for was paving some highways in Arizona.

John Warren

It does have a nice A$$!

John Warren

For me it is mostly the people, Wanting to spend more time with Dad, I found myself going to breakfast Saturday with the local model t club to see Dad. We had a couple of friends that had Model T's that were in the club. The cars draw you in and then Wamm, It has you, hook, line, and sinker. To see...

John Warren

Thanks for cleaning up the photos Steve, the camera I have uses 120 film. #2 Cartridge Hawk-Eye model C patented 1910 Sure a simple little camera. It was my grandparents. Mom and Dad had a newer Brownie Gray plastic??

John Warren

Good Photo Rich, probably seems like not that long ago. To bad you wasn't able to procure the car.

John Warren

Rich, You are a true craftsman. Absolutely love you sharing some of your work. Definitely shows many of us that if there is a will, there is away. The things that you do are amazing. Thank you!!!! jw

John Warren

I like the sound of dumping the overflow to the transmission. Nice install Les.

John Warren

John Warren

More Brownie Photos.[/attachment]Dads first Model T. My Aunt Elaine, Uncle Bob and friend.

John Warren

Leave the set screws loose so you can adjust to fit the top bows when it is setting in them properly, then tighten the set screws. Should be down. Ok just went and looked, I thought the bolts were on the bottom, my bad!

John Warren

Is the Spranger wheels made for Model T Ford only? Wallace, have you checked to see if the hub in the Spranger is correct for the Model T? Nice wheels, Hope things work out!

John Warren

If I could only have one thing to weld with, it would be a complete oxy-acc set up. It must include a cutting torch, various brazing-welding tips and a rosebud heating tip. If you get proficient with it, many things are possible. All welding processes are revealed while using this set-up. Arc, mig, ...

John Warren

Making those movies had to be a deadly and maiming experience

John Warren

HAHAHAH

John Warren

John Warren

Thanks Rich, Great links.

John Warren

As always, Love your paintings and thank you for sharing.

John Warren

John Warren

Rich,you mentioned buss, You probably have this but in-case you don't.

John Warren

Mario, It is steel, not cast iron. Like many have said, most of the time just cos-medic. Good luck and happy travels.

John Warren

That's Nice too! Touch base with Mike, He may need someone to race against.

John Warren

Thanks Mark. You can see by the views that everyone is looking forward to hearing from Donnie. He covered the build well on the early forums but then it kinda got strung out and hard to follow when the forum changed. I think he has figured out how to make it happen now and was hoping he might review...

John Warren

Hi Ed, sorry about throwing you in the ring but you and your car belongs there. Thank you for chiming in.

Kevin, Oh ya, It wasn't running very well, Clattering like you said obviously running retarded.... The cam nut was loose and it was missing the cam thrust bearing and spring. I talked to God that day and assured him that I would overhaul it before I would drive it again if he would let me make it ba...

John Warren

HAHAHAHA, good catch. Agree!

John Warren

Ruckstell only has one thrust washer on the right hand side.

John Warren

Robert, I am enjoying your thread and very glad to see your Daughter involved. It will be just as exciting for her when Rattles, Rattles again! Looking good and keep us posted.

John Warren

Guys, I have done it several times. Not going to hurt anything. It is just cos-medic in many cases , but can easily be fixed without heat. In his case it has the brake cam out of line.

John Warren

Already over 100 looks.

John Warren

Just take a big Cresent wrench and bend it back. Easy

John Warren

Donnie, I absolutely loved your build, I know that it takes time for such projects, could you take time to post the build on the new forum from start to finish? I'm sure It will be well received.

John Warren

Mike should understand the need. Hopfull things will turn around. In 19, I only had about 150 Miles on the engine and most of that was on the tour before we raced. Ron Kelly was the one that made it happen in such a short time because he understood the need. Litterly put the car together on Monday a...

John Warren

They did some crazy things back then.

John Warren

100 mph in these old cars had to be scary, I don't like driving mine over 65,even though it is probably capable of the 100 mph club. Frank was truly an amazing man.

John Warren

Things that make an engine run bad!

John Warren

Hi Shane, Hope you and yours are well. Your thread needs to be brought back up to the top. Anything going on,progress? You know the Lincoln Nebraska Speed way reunion and hill climb is this year. Looking like you could make it??

John Warren

Bobtail racer, Nice. You can look at my build on the forum, Race Car Project. Thank you for sharing your build. Love seeing stuff like this!

John Warren

Kile you can easily re-drill the wheels to the model t wood hubs. Use the standard hub plate on the out-side.

John Warren

I have a set of these and they are nice!!

John Warren

I recently took my steering sector apart for inspection and I always wanted to seal it up better so I could fill it with grease. Here are a few photos of how it is built using some miter gears. The housing is made from some forged engine frame mounts, they looked the part. The shaft was cut and the...

John Warren

I think the biggest advantage of having a drain plug is being able to check how healthy the rear end is and also being able to add a magnetic plug.

You guys spell well
