I posted this for a friend, the only other thing I know is, he mentioned a Duryea speedster the fellow had built.
I looked up "Stevens Duryea" and think it's winner !!

It appears to be a "peaceful" demonstration at least...

A friend found this while looking at a 27 T...
Looks to be larger than a T. Anyone have an idea ?
The cowl lights are electric....

Here's an interesting pic of the back with a Philly address painted on.

I am open to a reasonable offer.

I'm late for the party again...

But I wish everyone a Happy New Year !!

I plan to pull my steering column and try to tighten the rivets in the gear to tube and replace the bushing in the frame bracket.

YIKES !!

I have lots of license plates, mostly Ohio... Today I found this 1915 Penn plate that I would call a decent original. Still has the makers number keystone tag riveted on. Some damage, but colors are very nice still. Asking $100 including shipping to USA. Please email from my contact info.... Thanks ...

Boy that's a beauty Jim !! How's it sound ??
Not only tall, but just huge all around, nice find/save.

Yeah, I guess it would be called the crutch adjustment screw, it shows a picture in the book but I noseeum. I was going to hook my borescope up and look that way. The tick tock pause is annoying the crap out of me also !! :lol: I believe mine has a panel that comes off the side to get to the works.....

Thanks again fellas. Marv, I love the mantle clock. I've elected to use some plastic pads underneath the adjustable feet. It leveled out nice and is pretty stable and in a safe spot.

Thanks to a little help from my friends here and another T friend.... The clock made it across the yard with no issues !! 8-) This clock is a Sligh, made in Holland, MI. Papers say 1980, which sounds right, I was a teenager when my parents got it. I had guessed 40 years ago, nailed that one ! :lol: ...

Most appreciated gentlemen ! Very nice work Marv !!
David, I have the key wind in the face style. No need to tie anything after winding and removing weights ?
It's a beautiful clock, I'll get a picture after I get it moved.

Funny how that works, eh Denny ?

I know a couple of you fellas are clock repair/collectors.
Do I need to do anything other the take off the pendulum and weights ?
OK to lay on it's back, or should it stay upright ?
It's only coming from next door, I could hand dolly it over here.
TIA, Dave

Tried the camera out today for what I bought it for.
Pretty clear view of the top of the piston through the plug hole.
And just a shot out back. $20 well spent !

I carry the little made in China Buck in my work pants.
The Army issue Camillus was given to me and I carry it in my T driving jeans.
Has a nice little screwdriver and a church key too !

How about a link? I need one. Cooked my borescope camera working on a RV generator. You say works with smartphones?

Your touring car just made a gigolo out of you Dave !!

Gigolo:
Noun,
"A young man paid or financially supported by an older woman to be her escort or lover"

Thanks guys !
Marv, these new door really don't have any gaps. They also have very nice seals around the edges and the bottom seals up nice.
I see zero light coming in with the sun shining right on them. They're made in Ohio too !!

Here's a before pic...

Will save some $ with insulated doors and good seals come winter.

Absolutely !!

I feel much comfort with a torsion spring and the old stretch springs gone too.
All done !
As Red Green would say..."now I got to paint the walls"

A little JB weld and both those pinion gears are good as new !! :lol: My 13 tooth had a missing tooth that developed last fall....it's in the scrap bucket. Excessive side shim wear and a loose pinion nut were my assumption of the cause. New spool FP bearings and reshimmed and all good so far, shifti...

Old rotted wood doors are off and new are going up soon.

Very nice Rich, but there's no rust...

Went for a nice drive to my accountant again, hopefully adding to my wallet instead of lightening it this time.

Went down the big hill from my previous post, but went a different route home.
Beautiful day here, not quite as hot as it has been, but the 90s return for the weekend....

That's awesome Dallas !!

I suppose you were hangin on for dear life or I'd razz you for no pictures.

I will start by say, I neither recommend nor condone ANYTHING I've ever done in my lifetime !! :lol: My touring with a Ruckstel and 3:1 gears, along with a distributor and HC head will easily do 55.... That being said, I have not tried to do so for anymore that a few miles on a smooth road w/no traf...

I remember my dad was getting what he said was a close match from an Amish buggy maker.
Stuff held up well also. My top was done probably 30 years ago or more.
Unfortunately he left us 17 years ago, and bought his last bolt of material at least 10-15 years before that.

Always good to meet new T people and put faces to the name on the forum.

Jay was here a few months ago and bought a low honeycomb radiator from me. Nice fellow, gave him the $0.50 tour.

Hopefully I will get to meet Hank sometime.

I agree with Hank...
Ignition coils either have internal resistance or need an external resistor.
Normally you should have around 6V at the points when running. 12V will cook them quickly.

Scrap cars are bringing $80-$100 per ton....
I guess that’s a starting point.
Steel is way down.
I hope you can negotiate and make all this a little less painful.

Are you wanting a specific gasket in cork, or a set Dan ? I think Mr Morsher cleaned me out.

Or a T

hehe

Changed the oil and adjusted the low and brake bands, lubed everything, and checked the tire pressure.
Adjusted my OF once more and I really think I found the sweet spot.
Went to get some gas yesterday, as soon as I back out of the garage and turn around, it started pouring !!
Maybe today....

The basement is where the old man had mostly HO stuff setup and enjoyed with the grandkids

Just an idea of what I have....

There is some American Flyer stuff.

Here’s my 4 control transformer...Lionel Trainmaster.
How many transformers do you need Wayne ?

Cool Rich, I have a 4way like that !!

Forgot my phone this weekend when I was there, but found 1 pic from before of a small section.
I’ll get more.

Glad she’s in competent hands.
I’m betting the rings and valves are the low compression readings. Both having some problems from overheating.

Here’s mine.

Steve... What Mark is sayin is what you need. Don’t worry about the gauges on the leak tester.

My car had a Z head when I inherited it. Unfortunately it cracked the year Pop passed away from the heater malfunctioning in the garage.

For a sticking valve. Start by shorting each plug wire one at a time...if one has no change=that cylinder is not firing. They generally run pretty poorly on 3 cylinders though. Then I would check compression if you found a problem. Actually if it’s a authentic T muffler, they do come apart. Where do...
