Buddy ended up with several boxes of KRW & assorted tools & pullers - anyone seen or might be aware of what this puller was used for ? I've done my share of both T & TT Ruckstell axles but the size of this puller is BIG ! Any ideas ?

Hello.
Last sunday I started my Lizzy first time this year. It still is sitting on four support frames, so all four wheels are a little bit above garage floor.
The engine started surprisingly easy. On 2nd try the engine started, but stalled, on 3rd try it was running smoothly.
The handbrake lever was in back position, but the left wheel was still...

Assembling a 12 roadster and need to know the size of the bolt that passes through the frame brackets (ears) at the rear and the holes in the body bracket. The holes are too large for a 3/8x24 bolt. Would like to know before I purchase them.

Wish I had the money to buy one of these rare model T wrenches on e-bay. Bidding is past $56 already.

Not sure if this has been posted before:

While this post does not give a definitive answer, it does kinda point at that Berg's is closing;

Depending on where the steel was used on the Model T Vanadium steel was used in different mixtures in creating the various alloys Ford used in the construction of the Model T. From what I have read, vanadium made the steel lighter while maintaining its strength. I was curious as to what type of steel was used by Ford in making the 1926, Ford...

I just submitted a thread yeasterday to get your opinions on my spark plugs and the consensus is that they look fine, so, my gaps are probably set properly, but I’m going to ask this anyway. Regarding the Champion X spark plugs… I know the instructions that came with the plugs recommends a gap of .025, and that is what I have always used, but...

Is there anyone reproducing and selling the Stromberg OF float needle?
Thanks

Only 2 transmission bands, everything used except for white packets. Not sure what the round ford disk is or what its worth

Need an engine from Chickasha to Prescott Arizona any one heading west can help out for fuel money? Thanks Joe

I just purchased a 1916 model T. With the purchase I received 8 buzz boxes, only 3 will buzz. I understand you can purchase new and rebuilt boxes, but I want to try and fix some of the ones I have. I watched many of the videos on YOUTUBE and learned a lot about a buzz box, but I have a lot to learn. I checked the secondary windings and set aside...

We have had numerous discussions over the years about the possible correlations between body serial numbers and and car/engine serial numbers. With our new format, we may have an opportunity to collect data from current and past owners of surviving cars in a practical way.
I have traded a few notes with Admin Jeff about this, and he says it is...

Regarding the (12) piece ring and gland manifold gasket set, is the 3/32” x 1 1/2”O.D. copper ring referred to as the ring, or the gland, same question regarding the 5/32” x 1 1/4” metal ring. Is it the gland or the ring? Are the ring and gland gaskets used with the 3 hole white asbestos gaskets or by themselves? I would think by themselves or the...

I was looking at some photos of a supercharged, overhead valve, front wheel drive Model T speedster and wondered if anyone has tried to recreate this car or any front wheel drive Model T? I’m aware of the 4 wheel drive conversions. This speedster appears to be hand built with a backward engine to allow for a centered differential....

As I mentioned in another thread, I am going back to the original type roller timer. It has been so long since I used one, I forgot how best to lubricate one. Over the years, I have read methods going from one extreme to another. Everything from using 3 in One oil to packing the housing with Vaseline. Those of you who have used, or are using an...

I am changing the oil and flushing the engine with 2 qts. of motor flush. I removed the spark plugs in order to rapidly turn the engine over using the front crank, to mix the motor flush in with the oil before draining and adding the new 10w x 30w detergent oil. While I had the plugs out, I took pictures of the end of the plugs. They all have...

I have had these for more years than I care to recall, they came to me in a lot of tooling that was all K.R. Wilson (all Model T and Model A tooling) and these have been rolling around in the bottom of the box all that time. Whether or not these are in fact KRW I do not know, I have no earthly idea...

I just found quite a few used and N.O.S. Grease cups
same size as the drive shaft cup but threads are same as rear axle and steering, any one know the application or cars this would have been used on the head is slight different see pics, Bob

Attached are photos of the front shackles on my 1927 coupe. I just noticed that they are not the same.
The first photo is of the right shackle, which I assume is correct. The second is of the left one. Is this a correct shackle or should I order a replacement?

Another question: The right shackle has both a grease zerk and a oil cap. Why both? Is...

Just got my copy of the newest reprint of Ford Service, think this one is destined to be useful for us older T'ers with aging eyes :roll:

The photos aren't more crisp, but at least they are larger to peer at the details. The type font is the right size. ;)

Wow! The cost of the window wood is out of this world. $360, $254, and so on.

So, the Ford Service manual states that there are three loom clips on the bottom of the radiator.

After a brief wait (somewhere between 4-6 months) look at what arrived! After ordering from Lang’s and learning about the back order I called all the other vendors.

About a week ago there was a thread , in which Hap Tucker posted info on the reinforcing brackets that were necessary
for the weak design on some 1913 bodys

I would like to see the information that wold picture the brackets.possibly someone can find this in the archives and post
Thanks Rich

Gents,

I have a non demountable ('14 front) with a slightly loose Felloe. Thinking of drilling the rim 24 times and placing screws through and into the Felloe.

Was thinking that if there was some kind of 2 part epoxy that was runny enough to squirt into the holes (with a syringe) it would improve the equation. Any ideas or thoughts
Thanks

Just curious as to what the desired clearance is between the cam and the cam bushing. Thanks : Bruce

Need to know some facts, not guesses! When did Ford start punching the holes in the radiator side panels for the rubber headlight tubing? Could it have been about the same time they started stamping Made in USA under the Ford script?

I purchased a bag of these several years ago. I thought they were emergency brake lever springs, but When I attempted to fit one on the emergency brake handle of my coupe, I could not figure how it fit on so it would apply tension to the closed handle so that it would open back up. Can anyone confirm that this is what it is, or if it is for...

What year did this cast iron Ford script roller type timer come out? Would it be correct for all Model T’’s or is it specific to certain years? I would guess that, due to its’ very old appearance, it would have gone on a very early T, but I don’t know. Jim Patrick

I noticed that the exhaust pipe doesn't fit very tightly in to the muffler. Thereby flooding the interior of my Tudor with fumes. What do people do to fix this problem? wrap the pipe with some kind of material to fill the void, or cut a slice in the muffler pipe, or both? Thanks.

By the way, the pipe does not have the correct bend to line up...

This is where the 1926 Coupe body sub-frame meets the frame on the driver's side.

My 1911 has two major oil leaks, one of them is at the right side of the trans where the high gear shaft goes thru the hogshead. I have attached pictures of that leak. How can that be fixed? The other leak, drip drip drip is at the front of the hogs head between the hogshead and oil pan and I will probably replace the hogshead gasket. While I have...

I was surprised to see this much felt packing in the two pack nuts. It was very difficult to remove. This may not be unusual, but thought I would show it anyway.

I also show a piece of new felt packing that was in a gasket kit I purchased. I am not going to use it but instead will purchase a neoprene seal.

I was curious about how the felt piece...

Good evening. What years does this size spark coil fit? I know it fits the 1926 and ‘27, but I’m not sure of the other years it fits. If I’m not mistaken, the earlier years used a different size. Thank you for your help. Jim Patrick

Good afternoon. I tried a TW Components timer on my T with disappointing results, so, I are removing it.

In the latest Shorpy photo, there is a late model T and a Tudor A beside each other, parked in a street. Those cars are nearest to the camera, but lots of more modern machines there as well.

I've noticed a few cars of interest located out of state. I would not make a buy unless a full inspection was done by a Model T expert.

Do such experts exist for hire? If so, how would I find a person nearest the prospective car?

Just pulled the head on my speedster. 30+ years since it ran. Wanted to see if I could 'unstick' a valve. No ridge, domed pistons, number two has negligible movement. Went to check number one and it dropped about 1/4 . Do you think this is too much to take up with removing shims? If it even has any. Regardless, I got the valve to start moving...

I have found a few posts on this topic, but no clear answer to the problem. I am installing Lang's NH conversion kit and it appears the over-the-top throttle linkage is too short. Because this issue has came up before, I am surprised this hasn't been addressed by Lang's in the instructions. I can't help but wonder if the 2nd hole in the carb...

So I pulled the driver side regulator out of my 27 Coupe and I think I figured out why the glass fell to the bottom of the door. It looks like somebody did a homemade repair to it by brazing part of it in place. The shaft has a bunch of play in it, and it doesn't feel like there is any notch inside to grab the regulator teeth. My question is, can...

Hello all,
So I’m looking to build a fixture to repour camshaft bearings. News ones are getting very expensive. Currently I can pour/Align bore mains and the same for connecting rods. Camshaft bearings are the only item I haven’t done yet.

I have purchased a visor cover replacement for my coupe. I have studied the instructions, and they are not all that clear. It appears the installation is going to be difficult. The frame is original.

Are the hinges interchangeable on a 1913 vs 1914 Frames? In other words, if I needed a Windshield for a 1914 but I have a 1913 Windshield, can I use the forward folding Windshield for the time being and then change-out the hinges to make it fold rearward when those are located without any other modifications to the existing Windshield Frame??

TIA

Contrary to what I've heard, John's Enterprises is still making top sockets. I just got off the phone with him.

I'm in the process of assembling my '25 Coup project.
The saddle that holds the top half windscreen in has a circular hook that sits on the inside of the screen. What is it's function?
Or have I got something wrong happening.?
The first photo is of the right side saddle, and the second is the left side fitted .

Has anyone thought about or tried coating the strip with insulating varnish, then wind and wrap? Then after assembling, coating the whole thing with the varnish and baking?

I’m in the process of putting new sockets and bows from John’s on my car. I have a new top also.

I've noticed a number of early 15's on Toms posts lately with larger than normal headlights. The judging guidelines says these were 8 5/8 . But it fails to mention the size they became. I have a '15 stored at another location, but don't feel like going over there to check. What is the new size?

In the early spring of 2020, I took the rear axle apart to inspect thrust washers and bearings and found solid rollers in all if the axle bearings. Prior to disassembly, I noticed there was about .025 inch of up and down play in the outer bearings. This looseness sort of concerned me.

Radiator support rod - missing.
I re-threaded the radiator and found it to be 5/16 -24.
Some time ago the rods for the parking brake looked rusted out and for safety, I replaced them.

So, I ran a die on the end and cut the other end to length.
