Apco was the horn button on the one I had just like that.

No one thinks of the Wattage a generator can produce and neither the voltage or current is the limit alone.

You can safely double or halve the generator output, although very few people do that change.

So, for 48 Watts, a 6.4 volt battery can charge at 7.5 amps from the generator.

Wit a 12.8 Volts fully charged battery, you can adjust the...

Another thought: Model Ts do not like thick oil, ESPECIALLY in COLD WEATHER. It can cause serious engine damage, and it might contribute to clutch slippage, due to being excessively viscous. For general use, 10W30 is a good choice. In cold weather, 5W30 or 5W20 is better. In very cold weather, a 0W20 synthetic might be best. Ford specifically...

Thanks all for the info and discussion.

It's my sons' stewardship now, as is my one of my other T's by the oldest son...let them enjoy ownership now-with me-rather than wait for the fateful day. My son had already bought and planned on installing a 'G' since the car is a '15. The rebuild idea was based on an unknown as in his life that carb has...

Many thanks James !!

While I never had the personal honor of knowing Dick, there are many in our local Rockford Model T chapter that remember him fondly. He was a frequent vendor at Little Hershey swap meet in Belvidere, and new almost everything about model T's and accessories. He will be sorely missed by many members of our Hobby. Condolences to his family and...

Thank You Mike and Mark. That's what I was hoping you'd say.

Yes. It is exactly the same tool as dad's. Probably the most useful of them all. Very rare and hard to find. Well worth the asking price.

PM sent on wrench.

I have a box of six or eight of those, I didn't know they were different.

Show me a photo and I''ll show you what I have in the box.

Hi Jack,

That is awesome! Always nice to hear one of the younger generation is interested.

There are times when I wish i would have had kids so I could pass down stuff too as my Dad did to me (he was a mechanic at a GMC dealership all the years I was growing up), but it was not in the cards.

God Bless & Happy New Year
Bill

The first photos were posted because I don't know how to post a photo from my cell phone. This carrier was purchased by me many years ago. I restored it and hung it in the garage for several years. I decided to put it on finally and the photos show the result. This is an original aftermarket tire carrier that uses the original Ford carrier in the...

The way they are made today allows for trimming. In the era of the T the mats were likely thicker and the fibre punched into a woven backing. That means the mat would fray to pieces if the backing was cut. They had to be made to size,

Thanks for the lead Russ. We have Ikea here too, so they should be available to us.

Allan from down under.

In 2 weeks, only 3 people have expressed any interest, solidifying my position that demand is statistically pretty much non-existent.

This is your one last chance to get on the list for a very limited number of parts.

If interested, EMAIL ME

thank you

It's in his ad.

Tool box has been sold.

Well, I think it's time to complete my story on my attempt to make a flapper for my Wizard / Simmons carburetor. I also needed a spray nozzle / jet, so I contacted both Corey W and Scott C, Scott didn't have enough demand to go into production of the spray nozzle / jet. Corey couldn't help me with the flapper, but he did give me the overall...

True Fire going to Peter, thanks MTFCA... Wingnut

Nice suprise.
I sent you a P.M. re: head

Have not gotten your email. Dan

There are enough parts to build up some good chassis to be sure. If you’re a tinkerer this is Model T Heaven. Model T Haven sold all parts they had. Could this be some of those or someone else’s. I’ll bet there are good rear axle Hyatt bearings in those rear ends.

Some nice Model T’s have been built up from worse parts than these.

Incredibly rare

Thanks Mike, I found that out when I got further down the listings. Jim

While I keep getting distracted (like normal) I have made some progress getting engines ready to reassemble.

It would be great to see the national and local HCCA get behind this meet and give it ongoing support. Thanks Steven for your support past and present. I sure hope this meet will continue for the good of our hobby.

I had some rough ones of these but unfortunately sold to someone to make a set some time ago.

Gerard - I pulled the print for the 4th rear main last year so the museum digitized it and made it public.

By the way, all the digitized prints I can find on the Benson Ford website are cataloged in the members section of the EFR website - helpful resource.

Biscuit joined to 2 x6 & cut out the end like Steve Jelf's above. Then just clamped onto my power miter-box stand. Easy set up and take apart when not in use
