Harold,
Here is a copy of a fairly common fan governor. I have one like this so I saved the info.
It was posted here in the past, but I don't recall by whom.
Just another example of the great help here on MTFCA.
Hope it helps
Kevin

Hank, Glad to hear all is well. Those fenders just have "character" for the next generation. I had a similar experience with Thelma Tae, i had just gotten her on the road after a very prolonged sleep. I was quickly approaching a "T" intersection when as I began to throttle down the Universal transmi...

Don Robert the owner used to bring this tractor up to our Early Day Gas Engine and Tractor show just out side of Salt Lake City. He would drive a stake in the ground put a cable around the stake and attach it to the tractor, then he would turn the wheels and tie the steering wheel. He would start th...

Wow, Thanks Rich for your support to the museum.
From all of us that hope to one day see them in person,
All the best,
Kevin

Joe, I have attached a couple of scans. When you mentioned your vaporizer was a coil, it got me thinking. Kingston MD's have a large rectangular block that has a maze cast in it for the hotplate. Earlier Holly's have the coil. Again hope these help, Kevin PS John as far as valves, try the Fordson Ho...

Joe, The small reservoir at the bottom of the vaporizer plate has a needle and seat that is controlled by a small rectangular float. That bowl fills with fuel and then is drawn in small amounts up the through the vaporizer plate to the mixer. If that float and needle and seat cant control the fuel i...

Jim, Fordson's can be a bit troublesome to start. My view is it has to do with the design of the vaporizer, the fuel leaves the tank goes down to the level of the float bowl, and then has to drawn up through the vaporizer plates to the air intake and then back down to the intake manifold. If the tra...

Kim,
I will take it, I will sent you an e-mail
Thanks,
Kevin

Just enjoying the read, and it got me thinking. Has anyone ever made a pump similar to the Ford 8N, it is integral with the front main cap. Pretty small and is driven off the crank gear. I am sure you would have to run a sump, but it works well for lot's of tractors. Thanks for the indulgence, Kevin...

Marvin,
As was mentioned it should just slide apart. Check the teeth on the gear sometimes they get a bit of a burr on them and that will keep them from coming apart. Hope that makes sense.
Best of luck,
Kevin

Charlie I don't mean to highjack the ad, but if you are interested, here are reproductions of the "U" bolts and plates for the crossmember. I ended up having to make my own, Good luck, Kevin https://www.ebay.com/itm/Model-T-Warford-Transmission-Mount-U-Bolt-Car-Truck-Antique/132343253483? hash=item1...

Possibly a pan hard bar?

Half of a Star or Jumbo Planator

Gene,
That looks a bit like a Simmons Super Power carb. I'll bet if you look at the tag it was made by Simmons.
Try a google search "Mtfca forum Simmons" and you should be able to get the info you are looking for,
Best of Luck,
Kevin

Ok,
I'm in, this is Thelma Tae, pretty much just as Ford birthed her, with the exception of Bennett brakes, and a Universal 6 speed.
Thanks for the thread,
Kevin

Hal, I know the problem has been around for some time. GM used stainless capped lugnuts on the early "Rally" wheels, I believe sometime '68 Camaro, and Corvette, so yes they have been a pain for a long time. Interesting I see this post as I took my wife's 2014 Ford Escape in for a tire rotation just...

Ok Dave, I will give it a good home,
Send me an e-mail: kevinf@co.davis.ut.us
Thanks

Bill,
I will be patiently standing by if there is a second chance,
Kevin

Dan,
That may have been me, I was looking for some parts for a Kingston, and as luck would have it, purchased an entire unit with all the parts I need.
If I was the one, Thanks for thinking of me,
Best,
Kevin

Bob,
Could you send me an e-mail thanks
Kevin

Possibly to secure a handle on a crosscut or rip saw.
Seems like I have seen something similar,
Good Luck with that one,
Kevin

Ok, I have no connection to this ad, it is on e-bay by Mark Fremiller from Model T Haven, but what the heck is this engine. If it is a go fast engine someone surely has history on it as someone spent a lot of time engineering this thing, So what is the story????? Kevin https://www.ebay.com/itm/Model...
