MTFCA Forum

These Towncar photos were taken at a 2018 fall steam & car show in Ohio. The fellow had many Model T's and most all were for sale. I didn't have my camera with me so a friend I was with took these and sent them to me.

I Always thought a T snowmobile had dual rear wheels and a track.
But I see on the Snowmobile meet post, one of these:

Was this a common thing to do?
It would seem to me that by installing skis, and adding chains or as seen here those buckle cinches, a guy could have a lotta fun on a frozen lake.

Is it really just the matter of the skis,...

I am working on a 1912 Holley and am in need to the brass choke return spring. Does anyone know of a supplier for them?

With help from some great guys I managed to assemble my rear differential today... In fitting the driveshaft (with a Fun Projects modern Pinion bearing) it seems I could use some shims to set the depth that the pinion gear engages the ring gear. I had hoped to not use the flimsy paper gaskets that are available so this is my question:

For those...

Most are gifs, but pretty cool.

Well that Magnet was the little pixie folks. Totally ground itself up into the oil, (Gritty oil) Yikes!
The bushings in the transmission are toast, the crankshaft has a nice dark gray film attached to it, Yuck!
Well, I have another engine ready for it so shelve the old one.

I have a winter project!

All the Best,

Hank hanging in the playhouse!...

How do you post a picture of your car in the member information block at the right side of the post?

The Shanghai Auto Museum is a fairly new one. They have a good range of cars including a Model T (not shown on their website).

There are a few photos of a Model S here:

There is also a very interesting exhibition of racy car advertisements here:

It's great that the new forum can display double byte characters.

I thought maybe, we can have a few dedicated threads for BS pics and such.
I will start with funny...Buster Keaton :shock:

Tonite on turner classic movies starting at 8PM they are playing a whole slew of Laurel and Hardy films

Been a long time for me...

I'm just testing to see if I'm back on the Forum and if I can get some photos to post.

A strange creature at the least...
For some reason you have to tap it to see it move. I posted half a dozen gifs and didn't have to on them ? :?:

Some very interesting footage with a Model T river crossing at 2:18

Hello:
Working on a 1927 Coupe and wondered if someone could tell besides the head bolts which bolts on the engine need to be nickel plated.
Thanks Steve

Putting a 14 back together, putting in the long bolt on the steering bracket (through the wood block), am I correct that there is no washer involved?

Thanks

Ben

It will be nice having the past history registery from previous years forum with the new forum 2019. In the new forum, we do not have the past history of the member. I don't know if it is possible?

Kind regards,

Mario ;)

Test because I couldn’t find the previous tedt

Trying to see if my re-register works ok.

Hi,
I need to replace the gasket on the carbide generator.
What is the group's consensus on the process, materials, and method?
If you have any best bets, resources or success stories, I'd love to know.

BTW, I repaired my leaks with silver solder! Successfully, but not without trepidation.
Thanks for your advice.

Thank you,
Greg

One of the first things noted is that where on the old I could have maybe 10 lines of post on a smart phone screen before needing to scroll, the new one gives me but one open post (which is OK) until folks go wild with signatures and then I wish I had a thumbwheel.

I found out that if you too have smaller smart phones where you need landscape to...

:D Lets see what happens:

I am registered.

When using the old MTFCA link, (now 'bookmarked' and kept), am finding the previous Forum years going back to 2005 to be accessible. The same link allows the 2019 connection, but then only ID's back to 2018. Since saving many past threads/titles to reference for the expertise and knowledge of others, it is hoped those bits of information are not...

At my age I don't like change but I am very pleased with this new forum. It's quite apparent that a lot of thought has gone into it and I am gratefull.

I'm about ready to reassemble the rear differential from my 1917 Touring. I'll eventually be filling the differential with APG 140 gear oil but wonder what I should use to pre-lube the inner hyatt bearings prior to installation? I'm tempted to use a light bearing grease but perhaps I should just coat them with gear lube. Comments?

Just got confirmed but already have a question. Will there be a link to the MTFCA home page like there was on the old forum? Will that page be changed as well and also I saw no place to add a profile picture am I missing that. Thanks Chris for all you do. Jim

I don't know where this was taken but thought it might look good on the new forum.

Checking out the new forum!

If someone could teach me how to decode these engine block numbers on my ‘14 Touring, I would be mighty grateful.

Ps. Any comments on my exhaust manifold? It says KOOLER on it. ??

The Toyota Museum in Nagoya has a few Model T's. They used to offer Model T driving lessons a few years ago but cancelled them due to a lack of interest.

If you're ever in Nagoya and have a bit of spare time it is worth a visit.

testing. Looks great.

Found an already modified '26-'27 touring goose neck tire carrier at swap meet.

Welded on receiver type hitch to the goose neck, and had the proper length to extend past the tire carrier and tire too!
All I had to find was a small size receiver bar, and a tiny hitch ball. The receiver bar needed has to be a dropped style, otherwise the trailer...

I am in! :)

The 2019 Forum is now open.

I will have to approve everyone as you setup your new user names, sometimes I will not be near my computer but will do the best I can.

Please do not call the office with forum questions for now, post any questions here.
