Sold, thanks

Gotta love that Montana rust. Thanks Stan. Dallas knows I have a western TT cab I’m building a crusty tow truck out of. With the high cost of paint, it’s not even needed if you get one of these. It’ll gather more interest at a show, if that’s your thing. I hope someone saves that unique thing and gi...

Great tool pictures, thanks! I’ve always used my two fingers. Yes, I already know I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I still have my two fingers!

We have 5 Stromberg choke controls for sale. These are steering column mounted, and make running an accessory carb such as the OF, LF, RF a pleasure to control. We haven’t had any for sale for over a year now, so this may be the last of the Mohicans. Over 50 sold now. Tmorsher@icloud.com is the only...

Thanks for the positive message, Henry. As for the first response, sheeesh! Didn’t work on him.

Early vintage Stewart tachometer. Model t vintage, perfect for that era correct project. Good solid shape, you will have to supply glass and figure out the bezel parts. $165 ppd to your door.

I have just one of these Buckeye jack handles left. New iron casting, $95 ppd to your door, tmorsher@icloud.com to reach me. This is the last from me, thanks.

Dropacent

Yup, hatched and they are still trying to figure out what specie I am. Normally I’d agree with you Henry, but these are diecast aluminum, pretty thin. Not a lot of space to hide the inside weld, and the color match is sometimes way off. I believe a real expert could probably do it, but would be like...

Dropacent

Also, be sure to watch eBay auctions for parts wheels. The identifying ring is sometimes missing, and also on some, the rings were not stamped, or possibly stamped with some private label. Thus, the seller may have no idea who made it. These were made a half mile from where I was hatched.

Dropacent

James, the company also made a locking wheel. I would be interested in buying your broken parts. I can probably get it cast to convert mine into a fatman style. Tmorsher@icloud.com to reach me. T

I probably could have gotten through the day without reading of hitler’s perceived good attributes. I’ll bet a lot of exterminated Jewish and minority children would disagree. IMHO , it’s never a good idea to use der schnicklegruber as an example.

Dropacent

What do you desire, fact or opinion? I’ll take my chances with well vetted factual historical articles.

Dropacent

Len, if you can source a damaged TT radius rod, they were used in the day to make a trailer hitch. Sure better than shipping heavy iron over there. The holes line up to the rear spring clamps. Cut to length needed. Probably a simple brace would be involved.

The absolute worse place to get history is from Wikipedia, as any fool can easily edit it to suit their whim or fancy. Poor choice to learn from.

Len, if one of these would work, Lang’s and Snyder’s carry them. If you want more than that, let me know. Tmorsher@icloud.com

Let me know if this one would interest you. I can fix you up. Tmorsher@icloud.com

This is all I have left. Very hard to find! I spent a lot of money last year searching for some very hard to find fasteners for our model A and was lucky enough to dig up several sets of these, too. I’ll describe. The female part installs in the post of the top bow. The little trap door opens to acc...

Going from memory, I believe Hall Mfg made the drum taillights . Some have Ford, some DB and others with nothing on top. An older T fellow showed me at the centennial in richmond how he took plain lights, and made a clay mold of the ford script. He carefully put JB weld in the clay, applied it to th...

Dropacent

blueprints, what blueprints? YOU DON’T NEED NO STINKIN’ BLUEPRINTS! I’d say you are pretty close to being able to draw them up, Don, for the mere mortals. It should be noted of all the model Ts in the world, a living legend like Floyd Clymer would put a center door on Vol l model T ford issue.

Get ready for your victory parades later this year. Here is a nice genuine old flag holder. Genuine Model T era. It is in nice condition. I’m including 4 new flags.

1926 Ford w/ Martin-Parry deluxe country club station wagon body

Dropacent

That’s neat Wayne. I’m assuming the slots are for the front plate held on the radiator?

Dropacent

Great info , Donnie. Don’s NOS cap has the rolled edge. It certainly added a step in the manufacturing process or complicated the tooling, and we all know Henry didn’t waste steps. It WAS an improvement for the improved car. ( wow, I’ll never get it back from Don now!)

Dropacent

Good advice, Henry. I like using the stainless steel beveled washers, too. Well worth the trouble and expense Danny

Dropacent

Must have needed groceries that day, Don. If you ever want to get rid of it, I’ll give you double the $$ back. We will just give up eating for a week.

I’d love that NOS cap back Don. Must have needed groceries that day. I’ll give you double what you paid,just holler.

Recently picked up some neat Floyd Clymer publications I didn’t have for my collection. They were purchased from Ralph Fitz-Gerald on this site.

Dropacent

I’m very happy with my parts, Scott. A person cannot make 1 for himself cheaper than this. I’d encourage OF owners to take advantage. Do you have a future project set aside? Take a look, these parts are usually missing or damaged.

Chinese metallurgy is a crapshoot at best, IMHO. If I was in a hurry, I’d use the end of a drill that is snug ( drill rod) and still sleep at night. Grandpa would use a nail and sleep good at night, too.
