Thank you for your answer

Hello!

This a a broad question, I know. Locally there is a very nice Model T Haywagon conversion. Looks well built and stored indoors. It has wood spokes, and a real period conversion kit for the tongue (not a hack.job). While I don't see my Tudor pulling it, it would be a dandy wagon behind the Farmall H for our maple sap collecting and...

I’m going to try a chapter thread this year. We need to remember this is a club site and chapter activities are important. By sharing what we do maybe other chapters can get some fresh ideas.

So, we meet the first Thursday of the month. Since it was January 2nd it was lightly attended. We had 18 people where we usually have in the 25-30 range....

Will 30 X 3-1/2 tubes fit 30 X 3 tires? I ordered those two tire sizes for my 1915 T, but all four tubes they sent are marked 30 X 3-1/2.

Not to open a fresh can of worms on an old subject ( I’m going to anyhow ) I’ve ordered a new flat tube radiator for my roadster pick up from brass works , my engine currently has a water pump , question is , will the water pump restrict the cooling capabilities of the new radiator and should I remove it , or would it be ok to just leave it on ? I...

Update: PART2 Okay I need to finish cleaning things out

I just picked up a big estate sale haul of Model T parts — everything from scrap to salvageable pieces and some real mystery items. I used to rely on a close friend who knew Model T parts inside and out, but I recently lost him, so I’m hoping for a...

When you are driving along at speed and then put the Model T in neutral, so that it's coasting...the engine is turning but the rear wheels still going at speed, and this does not hurt the car?

Can't we flat tow the Model T in neutral with the engine running?

Just performed a clean up of my '26 fan assembly. I used moly bearing grease. Correct or no? My rear cap did not have a felt washer underneath. Is that required? Seems like it should help with grease loss.

I'm still having fun playing with rare earth magnet replacements for model t magnetos, just for giggles. They work well but it is hard to quantify outputs and I'm not crazy enough to build another engine every time I make a modification. I hit on the idea of using a defective engine block/crank/cam and driving it with a variable speed motor. Kevin...

Ok , going to sound dumb here , I’ve just replaced all the wiring in my 26 roadster pickup project, I think my starter is bad as I have made a good clean ground and also ran an addition ground wire from the mounting bolt on the starter directly to the battery . Engine barely tunes and ground is super hot ( brand new battery ) also , a separate...

Hello all! New member here, working on rebuilding a 24-25(?) TT I procured up here in Maine, and have been slowly piecing it together ever since.

So far, the old girls been pretty cooperative, and has shown no issues in the course of my inspection and repairs (save for the radiator and wheels). The engine has good...

Cars getting ready for run of the day.

Just starting this month’s thread.

And I swapped the trickle charger from the ‘27 to the ‘14. ;)

Heres a collection of delivery car phots that I have collected over the years. Enjoy!

I like the idea of getting an auxiliary transmission on my model t like a warford or similar. But I want your opinions on these aux transmissions? an overdrive and underdrive would be nice for going faster and slower but still in high gear, but a lot of work goes into putting one in, and it will probably make my empty wallet die with just the...
