I’m pretty sure they are high pressure oil pump lines from the HPOP to the cylinder head/fuel injectors on a Ford 7.3 Powerstroke diesel.

I remember as a kid, listening to “Mystery Theater” on WAKR AM radio in Akron at midnight.
Had my transistor radio down really low and my ear on the speaker in bed, so mom couldn’t hear.

Obviously, the bald front tires lost traction and he couldn’t steer when the front wheels locked up on a hard stop....

Very cool !! I wonder what it weighs ?

The weather roller coaster is swinging back to winter this weekend....no snow now !!
Mine is crippled with the rear axle apart, but Bill stopped over with his 26, since it was 52 today !!

I will say, it’s tricky to braze brass without a meltdown.

Yeah Rich, that’s a lot of weight on your touring top !!

Looks like fun in the closed car, too much salt here...

I think a fan or maybe a shop vac would help. It all depends on how long you plan on running a car, how much ventilation you have, etc. I have a shop that I work on cars for a living in. I just run a hose through a hole in my garage door with a flap over it. My garage is far from air tight though......

Mom still has a rotary phone in her bedroom :) I remember “helping” the dial return to dial faster when calling the HS sweethearts :lol: Didn’t have to dial an area code, no answering machines...if nobody was home, it just kept ringing. We had busy signals, party lines and long distance was ridiculo...

I would definitely NOT use Sycromesh fluid...
It’s way to thin and has friction modifiers and other additives for manual transmissions.

Much is different on the “improved models.
The spindles are offset to lower the front a little a 21” balloon tires were introduced, improved brakes

(Wider transmission drum and band, larger, lined parking brakes...)
Body changes, many other differences, but pretty much the same thing.

Dave, getting ready to do the same thing soon... The way I understand it is the key needs to be shortened so the gear will tighten down on the taper of the shaft, and still put some preload on the bearings. Also the taper holds the gear tight along with the key. I have to dig up a good shaft as my n...

I have a pretty decent original tank....

The family 4 cylinder was a VW Beetle. Mom drove me to school and would let me shift when she pushed the clutch in.

About the time I got to school, the rocker panel heat duct was blowing warm air !!

Will you be ready for a road trip in that T by spring ?

Lord willing, I will !!

Sweet, I didn’t think you were far.

I will guess at the labor rate being $3 per hour and it was split 50/50 with the mechanic.

A Greek and an Irishman were sitting in a Starbucks one day comparing their two cultures. Over a double latte, the Greek mentions... “We built the Pantheon, you may recall, along with the Temple of Apollo.” “Well, it was the Irish that discovered the Summer and Winter Solstices.” “But it was the Gre...

Sounds worth the trip.
How far are you from Auburn Dallas ?

Try unhooking the starter wire at the starter and then try the switch, if the sparks are gone...probably inside the starter. If not, the wire is grounded somewhere.

I heard of “Buckeye Billy”,
Met “Yukon Jack” a couple times...

Looks like about a 30’ gap will do...

Some of the newer modern transmissions have a press-fit on internal bearing to shaft fit. A special fixture is needed for disassembly and you use heat transfer plugs for assembly. Plugs are heated to 450F degrees, usually on a hot plate and then put inside the bearings for a few minutes and everythi...

I thought it was going to be a happy new year.
Im stuck at the firehouse on standby for another depatment. Oh what the heck, Happy new year its warm in here.

I hope y’all have a quiet night, and nobody has any major malfunctions !

About 9 years before my arrival. My brother in a RPU that I have a vague memory of before being sold. I think it’s a 1919, but not sure.
What y’all think ? My parents house is in the background before a garage was built.

Problem solved.

So it’s been about 3hrs since you posted the pictures of the replacement frame....you should be about ready for a test drive, eh Dallas ??

I agree with Norm and Leo....

I will add the important step of chocking the front wheel !

I’m in the addition of an engine ground camp.
Sounds like it’s trying to ground through the choke rod....

Lost one here, sadly not for the more common reasons we expect to be called home. And way too young.
May 2020 be everything 2019 wasn’t !!
Best wishes and Happy New Year to all, be safe tonight !

Maybe a 15 roadster with extended frame, chain drive and longitudinal rear springs...
I would assume the tires in the bed are wrapped with paper.

Beautiful pics Mikhail !!!

You can use a 40 tooth gear with a 13 tooth pinion, but not a stock ring gear.
It has to be recessed on the backside to position it to the left a little, to be able to get the proper depth of the pinion. 3.076 is the ratio.

Mack, the fenders I removed as I discribed. Yard art is about all they are good for. They dont have enough metal content to scrap!

Bondo has weight too !!

My buddy’s brother got caught filling scrap radiators with sand and got himself banned from several scrap yards.

Sorry bout the bum deal Rob... With a distributor, the coil should be marked 6V or 12V. If it is 6V, all the connections need to be checked first. Everything clean and tight, from the battery to the switch, to the starter and make sure of a good ground at the battery/frame, also the ground wire has ...

My hunch is, the H-D frame joints are more like a sweated fit with brass. Almost looks like the leftovers from tinning before sweating the joints together.

Dan, the worker in that picture looks about 14 !!

A big fat maybe...but it might be a Stutz.

“We’ll pay the house payment next year !!”

My 24 has the style shown in Frank’s picture on the left. I can’t say it’s “correct for the year”, but I believe it’s an original.

I got my last set without gland rings from FATMAN, Bob’s antique auto parts...

I got my floating hubs apart from my Ruckstell... After Christmas I will get parts needed to reassemble the axle and hubs. Waiting also for a pinion gear from a true team player, after he swaps it for another ratio. :D Weather is not gonna be any good for a long time now. Roads are white with salt.....

Condolences Tim, almost as hard as losing a child. After having to put 2 of my 3 boxers (we had all 3 at the same time) down, the last left us on her own.

Great stuff, it is a shame that you can’t take the kids for a ride....

It’s good to pass on as much history as we can.

As long as the cat doesn’t jump on the back, you should be ok

I have mine about like Mark shows, borrowed the bar from a friend. Had the custom stands and elevation devices.

Allan, you can try a light coat of white paint on the inside of the drum. Should be easier to see where it’s rubbed off after a short trip.
Maybe you can hear it by jacking up both wheels and have a helper turn the other side by hand ?
Good luck !

I got the sleeve out !! :D Before getting it in my press, I found the piece of flat steel I had was still hitting a rivet inside the tube. I eventually found a large axle nut from a half shaft from something. Dropped it in the tube and fished it past the rivets and it caught the sleeve. Long brass p...

Good idea Hank !! I think I have something that I can push against from inside and found an old spool fits nicely on the outside to support it. Gonna try to get it in my press this way tomorrow. I found a 3/8” flat bar that’s wide enough and just clears the rivets on both ends of the tube. If this i...

So I tried the slide hammer on the dummy bearings today. Problem is that the dummy and the rivets are too close together for the bit to flip and catch only the dummy. Also the ID of the rivets inside the tube are about the same as the dummy bearing. So I can’t catch it easily from the inside. Any su...

George describes a good way to check for an intake leak. You can also use a propane torch, unlit and move it around the gaskets. Some engine paint is attacked by some carb cleaners.... It would have to be a pretty large leak to effect off idle much. I also agree with Norm in checking timing, and oth...

Seems like a fair price Tim.
Just curious, do you know if it’s a T or TT or are they the same other than mounting ?

It’s yours, Dave. Set that $20 aside for me. Of course, you can pay the labor, too. I’ll add it up and get back. Forgot to mention my Model T mentor of almost 50 years, Joe Andulics.

I hope to get back to this maybe Sunday, supposed to be warmer and my press is in my not heated barn behind my garage. My opinion is that this setup, regardless of not holding the wheel on in an axle shearing event, will greatly reduce the chance of breaking an axle. I just wonder what others think ...

I greatly appreciate it Hank ! I have a good friend who’s a machinist :D I want to get it apart and see what’s in there now. There’s a remnant of a modern seal rubber on the shaft and the rest looks like it is behind the dummy shaft. Once I get it out, I hope I can match this stuff up at Akron Beari...

Mark, from what I understand, these are an early version of the modern safety hubs. The only difference is the new ones have a snap ring on the outside between the spokes. This will hold things together if an axle snaps. I’m considering cutting a grove for a ring. The weight is still being taken off...

Looks a wee bit like my neighbor’s yard...

Good Deal !!
Glad it was relatively simple.

Before I fight myself or damage something... Does the dummy bearings/sleeves just pop out after removing the lock screw where the grease cup would be ? Or will I need to rig it up in my press ? I need to replace the axle seals that are behind them. I have a slide hammer with a bearing removal attach...

Thanks for the replies ! :D I have the books now, but the one spec sheet is much handier 8-) I measured 1.060 on my only Hyatt location, the right inner of my Ruckstell.

I believe it was taken in Hudson Ohio.

What is the standard and minimum diameter of the axle shaft where the Hyatt rides !
Thanks

The beginning of the microfilm...

Steve, so far no other markings have been found. Neither the axle or other spindle.

A friend got this early front axle and is looking for any markings and found this on one of the spindles.
Looks like a P, K and F and the set of numbers.
I’m guessing a replacement from an aftermarket source.

My Ruckstell is all scattered on my garage floor !! :o Special thanks to Mr Morsher and Mr Andulics for the manuals and another thanks to Tim for inspecting things and assuring me most of my parts looked useable !! :D Good thing since I sold him all my pieces ! :lol: Time for some degreasing... :P

The stud in between the terminals looks kinda questionable to me.

You can do a voltage drop test there, check voltage at the wire and then on the stud and terminal. Or you can wire a 12V headlight bulb and check the same way, that will put a load on it...

I would start by checking all the connections from the new harness, especially the power and ground at the coil box.
What kind of condition is your coil box in ?

It’s a honeycomb core and has a dent on the top.

Dennis, those are an early version of the “modern safety hubs”. I was recently told. No snap ring, so potentially you could lose a wheel if an axle snapped. But it’s still taking the weight off the axle and onto the housing. And no outer Hyatt bearing. I believe greatly lessening the chance of break...
