I have one similar, however, mine appears much older (likely 1920s). I have used it a few time to clean up minor damage to crankshafts. I then use emery tape starting with fine then moving to finer to polish the journals.

It is difficult, but mine can also be used to clean up a damaged crankshaft in the car. I generally always work on crankshafts...

The band wrench part would drop down on the jam nut to hold it.

Here is a pic of one from the toy boat forum on Facebook. Post a picture on there and they will tell you the value. They can be worth quite a lot so do your research.

Like this table grabbed from digikey? A couple forums said as much then I found this easy table. :)
Onward and back to the sketchy info pages.

Hi Jerry,
I ran a WF Carter on my speedster a very similar carburetor and had the same issue from time to time they have a simple idle circuit that should be easy to deal with but one issue I had was the
accelerator pump is very sensitive and if there is no play in the throttle linkage and the engine is missing the engine shaking will activate...

I would like to know when the BOTs will start to pay their dues? :lol:

I believe that's part of the (gas) generator. It may be that the half globes on the threaded pipes would be closer together when in operation, or a part may be missing. I think they are for regulating the amount of air mixed with the gas. (?)

You'd shut off or regulate the lamp by turning down or turning off the gasoline at the base/font....

IMG_0164.JPG Its gets pretty hectic on race day! Officials come to your pit and tell you to go about two minutes before your start. Of course our car had an electrical issue and had to be jumped all of a sudden, then a line from the air compressor to the sequential shifter broke on the way up and we got a big fat D.N.F.!
We were all disappointed...

This is what I was thinking when I saw the first part of the title;

Guess using a Ford could have been cheaper than keeping a team to take the tomatoes to market! :)

Rich,

I know the feeling. I had antique BMW motorcycles long before I bought a Model T.

The biggest problem with the time machine is that we could all go back to see what Mr. Ford actually put on his cars. A whole lot of experts might be sadly embarrassed!

Thanks for adding those great photos Rich !

Then again, sometimes we find energy and enthusiasm. I guess I expect to work the hours I used to. Rich's comment if it ain't done by one or two in the afternoon... made me realize many of us expect more than we can do. I have been able to accomplish more lately than I could this time last year so that is plenty good enough for me.
I hope you all...

Wayne, Rich,

In my view that image is suspect (the one posted on the 27th).

It has been modified by someone using a later version of Adobe Photoshop and there are aspects of it that don't 'gel' (rear mudguard, 'Ford' sign on bonnet for example).

If one could track down an original, if there is such a thing, it might be better to start with...

One of my favorite things anymore, is hearing about good kids . Thanks!

Yes, it is cedar. I was thinking of finding some smaller trays from the 1910’s, 20’s, or 30’s on eBay or somewhere else to organize tools. I might need to find some ford script tools as well. When I was going through old tools that were previously in that chest, I found what I believe is the little oiler can that came with T’s.

My dads ‘27 model 24 roadster was reaaally anemic even after freshening up the engine… it struggled to maintain 40mph on level ground. It now runs waaaaay stronger with the Winfield carb and turbocharger!😉

I retired after 25 years driving a semi for one of the two largest package delivery companies.

There isn't room here to talk much about the Keefer Family. I lived a block away from them not knowing the wild tales of their earlier years. Just one story of when they lived on the rugged island in the middle of a growing Idaho Falls. ... Fred had a pet bear that slept crosswise in bed with him, making it difficult to sleep. The bear escaped and...

59 Buicks were quite dramatic .

Normally, there is some sort of a Vee groove in the bottom and then a clamping plate dangling from the underside...that thing grabs the Vee Way on the top of the lathe and then clamps tightly. That way it can be slid to some relative (useful for that job) and clamped tightly.

Concerning a Model T 6 volt battery, the Optima type batteries do a very good job of holding a charge in vehicles that are not driven regularly, provided there are no parasitic drains.

The '37 and '38 Chevrolets were good cars. I'd love to own a '37 or '38 coupe. Starting in '37, most all the body wood was gone, and the engines went from 3 to 4 main bearings. All models had hydraulic brakes. They still had a floor shift, and the Standard models had a straight front axle on leaf springs, with single-acting hydraulic shocks all...

That's fun ! Guaranteed to frighten horses. Here we go again ! :lol:

Another reason I have a 6.2 gas F250. Diesel engines cost a lot more to buy and it seems to maintain. I can buy a lot of gasoline for the difference.

I have a 26 with an older New Day on it. The one with reddish brown color. When the spark lever is all the way up the tab on the timer is about 1/4 inch to the left of the large bolt at the top of the timing gear cover.

Sounds like you are on track. Good job.
I find it quite satisfying to do a blueprint job restoring transmissions.

They coulda rubbed some kerosene on the car and cliced a few pictures! :D
Shiny wouldn't last long in the country anyway, mostly the city folks probably kept theirs shiney because they had cobblestone streets and weren't driving in mud. OF course there was the Autobowl if you got mud on your tires!

Tire types and tire pressures on the combination will have an effect. Condition and suitability of the tow vehicle is important. The type of trailer suspension can be a factor. A hard cover over a pickup bed or a camper shell might reduce aero drag of the combination.

In 1922 Stanley made two distinct models, the 735 and the 740. Most 735s used 26 wheels and most 740s used 23 wheels, but time has a way of slipping different parts onto cars, so who knows what size are on the car.

Further, Stanley used lock-ring style rims, not split rims. Still, who knows what is on the car now.

Thanks so much for the info...

I had no idea the company name went that far back but that is amazing. 1 day I hope to ride in a car like that,I won't say drive because with the luck i have had the past day or 2,I might get a ticket or bump something!

I have no first hand advice. However, when we have a Cooker Tour , it seems most of the folks in our chapter start with fully cooked food that is simply warmed in the manifold cooker. Helps to prevent the possibility of undercooked meat. So, I'd say pick your favorite chili recipe, cook it at home the day before, then warm it up in the cooker. Or,...

I just finished watching the two videos and what I think is amazing is that these people went on a cross country drive from Phila to Alaska during the 1st year of the depression and thought nothing of it.

My thoughts too, Rich. Some solutions require tools or methods beyond what some folks have access to, so alternatives are welcome indeed ! The success of this forum is that posts are most always polite and respectful. We may not always agree, but we can always agree on good fellowship.

Great ideas & feedback guys.

They kept it well-hidden in their advertising.

The stud and nut arrangement allowed for a coarser thread in the iron block and finer thread for the nuts, which allowed for a more precise torque. It also prevented issues with bolt holes in the block being filled with debris. It probably contributed to fewer worn or damaged block threads. The problem with the stud and nut arrangement is that the...
