number two is sold, only one left ....

The disc brakes are made by Birdhaven / Texas T Parts. If you have any questions or issues, I would contact them directly. I also have a set of the disc I will be installing on my 27 touring in the next few weeks. If you have any questions or just want to talk Ts give me a shout, We can travel this ...

I have too many generators :) This is a nice, better than most, un-rusted one from the hoard. It turns over smoothly, the brushes sound good, gear looks good and is tight to the shaft. has some end play. Thats about all I know about it. I have no way to test it, so sold as a core. Core charge from t...

one sold, only two left .....

I have three of the Stevens Walden catalogs that I reproduced a year or so ago. These are the last three I have and probably will not reproduce anymore. They would make a nice Christmas gift (to a friend or yourself). The catalogs cover the Stevens line of tools as well as the Walden Worcester tools...

Sold, pending payment .... Thanks MTFCA

I have a misc. lot of gas headlight parts. Im unsure what they fit, so make your own decisions. There are a couple ceramic burners (the ceramic is good and not broken or chipped) , a couple brass burners, some brass elbow fittings, some misc. fittings ???, and a pair of lighters. Never seen the ligh...

Sold . Thanks, MTFCA

Sold pending payment ........ Thanks MTFCA

This is a very nice pair of 26-27 front spindles. They also have NOS spindle nuts with them. Getting harder to find nice ones. The speedster guys always want them ... I have glass beaded them, all they need is new bushings and painted. Ill take 45.00 for the pair plus 16.25 shipping (medium USPS fla...

I have a new repro road gear for Stewart 490 for 26-27 wire wheels only. I got this with some other stuff I bought and do not need it. Ill take 60.00 for it plus 9.30 flat rate shipping. I accept pay pal "friends and family", check, or money order. Please contact me at the info in the last photo. If...

Dan, Two of the taps are marked with only "Stevens" and the size , no Walden markings. The other two are marked "Rollfast" and the size. I have 4 different Stevens catalogs and a Stevens/Walden catalog and I have not found any reference to these left-hand taps. Humblej, I bid on the taps just for th...

Scott, I have a new Stevens reamer/tap that Dan makes. I have compared the 4 taps in question to Dan's tap. 3 of them mic to within a couple thousand of his. One of them is about .010 smaller. It seems to be more heavily used. I still think they are for use with the Stevens front axle repair tool. I...

Scott, I have 2 of them. 75.00 each + 16.25 shipping. Your choice. Ill only sell one of them. Stan Howe always bought everyone I had for his U&J carbs. Top one is a U&J manifold, bottom one is some other aftermarket. Bottom one has a "boss" for a primiing cup. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.JPG nam...

I found 4 taps that appear to fit the Stevens front axle repair tool. 2 are Rollfast and 2 are Stevens. There are two that are 5/8-24 (one rollfast and 1 Stevens) but the other two are 5/8-24 L They are left hand threads. Other than being left hand threads they are identical to the taps that go with...

Sold pending payment, Thanks mtfca

60.00 + 16.25 shipping. last bump to the top, then they go to e-bay ...

Sold thanks mtfca

Herb, that sounds like the little cans I show above. They are small cans with screw on lids.

I watched some of the videos last night. I think there are 3 of them. They are long as he pretty much kept the camera going. I saw myself and Steve Jelf in one section of the first video. The later videos show a lot of the loading of stuff. But even these videos in no way show the scope of this auct...

:evil: I have five new Dayton Wire Wheel hubcap medallions / emblems. I got these with some other stuff and do not need them. They are new repros and will need trimmed. The circle is 1-1/2 inch diameter and the etch is pretty deep. Im not sure how old these are as they came with some estate purchase...

I have for sale a real nice Tucker Spoke Jack. It is used by placing the tapered end between two spokes and the flat plate against the fellow. When tightened it presses the spoke and fellow apart enough to insert "shims". I make my shims from thin galvanized sheet metal. They can be cut out with a g...

I have seven different timers for sale. They are Left to Right. 1. Tiger with box. good clean used timer, probably is a useable timer for a spare. It's a Japan repro from the 70s 80s era. They were good timers if you prefer a roller type. 2. New Day 3. Duplex Double Duty 4. Hy-Power 5. Blue Blaze Mo...

Sold pending payment. took only 19 minutes

Thanks Richard and MTFCA

I have a set of AC Brakes for a TT ton truck. These are unmarked and I believe they were also sold under other names. I have seen them unmarked, marked AC or Stronghold, as well as others. This is the good AC design that gives brakes forward as well as reverse. It is a complete set including all the...

So far no one has said they have any of the little cans. Do I have the only ones left. ?????

Scott, Thanks for the info. I love all the knowledge and info that the members of this forum possess.

Dom, Thanks ......

Jim, That is not an APCO brand setup. APCO did not use the nut bolt style like yours has and they were not flat sided. APCO used a cup and spring like yours but have a big threaded plug with a big screwdriver slot to adjust tension on the spring, and then a big cotter key went thru the casting, thru...

Scott. "Obsolete" that fits our Model Ts to a T :) I may have the spelling wrong. It may be spelter instead of speltzer. My label is missing half of the word, but there is a "ghost image" of what looks like "tzer" where my label is missing those letters. I have actively collected and searched for St...

I have been collecting Stevens tools and products for years. I have never seen anyone ever mention a seldom seen product line of theirs. The long box with lock washers I show in the pictures, is shown in their tool catalogs. The little cardboard cans with the tin lids I have never seen listed in any...

Jerry, I did not add the timesaver step as the original question was about how the old timers did it. I do use time-saver as my final step of fitting just before step 7 . One more trick I use when using time-saver is to wash out the bearing with carburetor cleaner during cleanup. I have cleaned the ...

1. remove all spark plugs, loosen all bearings except the one you are working on if fitting all bearings. No need to loosen all bearings if other bearings are OK and only working on one bearing 2. then remove shims on bearing you are fitting till it is hard to turn with hand crank. this requires you...

I have a Roof 8 Model 40 exhaust manifold by the Laurel Motor Corp for sale. This a a rare bird. You see the Rajo parts pretty often but seldom see the Roof parts. There are no cracks, broken areas or welds on the manifold. The threads are about average for a old used manifold. There is a small grin...

Yes, I have that tool but not the sign. My tool has a broken bracket, so I have never used it. But it is a neat tool

I compared the bearing to one on a old TT diferental. The outside OD is the same. But the ID of the new bearing is larger than on the TT diferental. Does anyone have a center casting that the bearings fit on or an original bearing to measure the ID of the bearing or OD of the casting?

Sorry to take so long to post the number. It is SKF part number 6212/C3 on the bearing itself and on the box I can only read 6212-? The number or numbers are not readable I looked in my TT parts pile and I do have a differental with the bearings still in place I'll try to check this bearing to the o...

I have been away from the shop a couple days. I'll try to remember to look at the part number tomorrow.

Sold pending payment 1 hour 1 minute, I didn't think it would last long ... Thanks MTFCA

I have a fully rebuilt Stromberg OF carb that I had Stan Howe rebuild for me and I never installed it. He rebuilt 3 carbs for me not long before he passed away. It has been inside our house ever since he sent it to me. It is ready to just bolt on and run. I had this Stromberg OF, a U&J, and a Stromb...

Going thru some more boxes from the auction. Found these two bearings. One is an original Ford bearing and the other is the modern replacement for it. The bearing is approx 4-1/2-inch OD, 2-3/8 ID, and 7/8 inch thick. I did not have a mic handy so I just measured it with a ruler. The picture shows t...

Here is a Snap-On tool cabinet that my uncle gave me several years ago. It came out of an old garage in Yale Oklahoma. It is of the T era, and probably was delivered in a model T. Snap-On told me it was one of the earliest of their dealer cabinets from aprox 1921 to 1922 era. They also said that the...

Ron, Thanks for the ID of the radiator cap/mascot. I knew it looked familiar to me. I used to have a 1936 Packard 120 Jr. Sedan. I guess that old age thing is at work again.

Thanks guys, I have seen ads for the face a lite before. Now I just have to find the rest of it.

Here are some items I found in a box of the Model T Haven auction stuff. 1. The first item is some kind of accessory mount for ???? It swivels at two points and is a tight swivel that is meant to stay where you set it at. Im pretty sure this is part of a model T accessory. 2. An unknown door handle ...

Wayne, One of the truss rods that goes under the rear pumpkin to clamps around the axle tubes near the hubs should solve the rear axle issue you mention.

As far as I know no one makes them They are almost impossible to remove and re use. They are very brittle from age

Brian. I looked at that chassis at the auction. I probably talked to you about it. I was trying to let as many T guys know about it so it would not go to the scrapper. I'm pretty sure it is a factory made kit to put full eleptic springs on the front and 3/4 eleptic springs on the rear of a T. I thin...

Very nice job. As a retired Boilermaker welder I understand the amount of grinding and polishing it takes to smooth out the weld zones. When I worked at the Nuclear power houses we had to make all our welds look like that. It's hard to see in the picture, but it appears you added a 1/4 turn "twist" ...

I had seen the photos of the car above when I was building my car. I always thought the body was the same or real close. My body was bought at Chickasha. I bought the body, hood, radiator, and radiator shell from the same person who said all the parts came from the same Craigslist seller. So I feel ...

Mark and Dale, Thanks for identifying the manifold. It was with some other things I bought. I'll try to make sure it gets to someone who can use it. As to all the "body parts piles" They sold choice of a few bodies, but most of them bid as a lot of all of the body piles for 175.00. Mark did not acce...

One thing no one is considering. Mark was in business as Model T Haven for 35 years. It was his main means of income. It was not a hobby. It was his livelihood. I have been to his place enough thru the years to know the shear volumn of cars and parts that went thru that place. He would buy things at...

The following photos are of some of the things I bought or of some of the extra things that were in the piles I bought. The first pic is of a power unit. I think it is a "Farm Power" but will have to research it a little more. It jacks up the rear end and then two small pulley like wheels on a shaft...

Here are the photos I took at the auction. Just some general photos of the items for sale. They in no way even come close to showing the scale of the sale and amount of items there. Glen, I am so sorry that it did not even cross my mind to buy the driveshaft spools shown in one of my pics. They prob...

We made it home about dark. Too tired to do anything tonight. I'll try to post my pics tomorrow. I did not get as many pics as I wanted . It's was just too overwhelming to even try to show it all in pics. And between bidding, loading , and visiting with folks, pictures were sometimes forgotten. I en...

I am fairly sure the chassis is an aftermarket kit to convert a T to full elliptic springs. It has a Warford shortened driveshaft as well as a Warford trans support cross brace. There is also some kind of aftermarket brake actuators for the rear brakes ??? I'm glad you bought it. I looked it over ve...

First day is done. They sold the back lot stuff today. In my opinion stuff went cheap There were a few good things mixed in with the piles. Things of note that a I remember. An almost complete snowmobile setup. Had a real nice set of skies and spindles,a nos pair of rear idler wheels and what appear...

Tim, I have seen a Rajo exhaust manifold ND some neat carbs. That's about it. Lots of accessory items mixed in with the rows and piles.

We are eating breakfast at McDonald's then out to the games ....

Went out this morning, not many "lookers"yet. Things are laid out in rows. No real order to anything. They have tried to lay out "body piles" . Most piles are rough but workable. The back lot will be a disaster Just pile after pile after pile. All the e-bay auction items are just laid out in a coupl...

The wife and I made it to the big shindig happening in Iola Kansas Tuesday and Wednesday. I have been to Model T Haven too many times to not show up for the party. Probably will not buy much, but I hope to add a few things to the accessory collection. Will go out tomorrow and do the pre auction insp...

GGZ These tanks were made here in Arkansas many years ago by Ed Hollier, the man who made almost all of the repro tanks since the 70s early 80s Era . There were very few of the tanks made with the FORD logo before Ford made them stop using the logo on the tanks. The newest this tank could be is appr...

Tadpole, Well that explains it

Thanks for posting it.

We need to know "the rest of the story"

I have been collecting old Model T related ink blotters for a couple years now. They are pretty hard to find. So thought I would show the few I have found and maybe a few of ya'll have some to add. The Alemite is an advertising postcard and the other 5 are all ink blotters. You can click on each pho...

I agree with John. The black radiator shell and the aluminum grommets for side curtain rods says early to mid 26 to me.

Sold to Mark ...... Thanks Mark and MTFCA

price reduced to 575.00.

1919-23ish sedan or possibly coupe These cowl sections work great for hacks or fire trucks. Not a high demand or high value part but someone can use it. Please try to find it a home. It's survived too many years to be scrapped.

I have a complete Stevens front axle repair set for sale. It is complete and ready to use. This is the set I put together for myself a couple years ago. I recently found another set in the original box that I am replacing this set with. As much as I love this tool set, I do not need two of them ... ...
