Re: Trying to get an idiot-proof free neutral for shipping my T

Couldn’t you post a note stating to move the brake lever the whole way forward and to then pull it back and watch the left peddle. When that peddle moves forward slightly, that’s neutral. Than pull the whole way back for the parking brake.

Re: Crank packing

Craig, If you have a 1.500 diameter crank journal and wire is .100, you turn the shaft down to 1.400. When you wrap the journal you end up at 1.600 prior to turning. You’re adding material to both sides of the journal,

I recently changed my acetylene head lights, in my 11 T, to LED lights based on an article in the Jan/Feb Horseless Carriage GAZETTE. Using the 3500K 6 watt COB bulbs I was very happy with the results. The light color is comparable to the gas lights. I didn't notice it at the time, but with the ligh...

I’ve been a newby in the past. Newby’s don’t have the connections to make the great buys. They don’t have friends to help them purchase a good deal. We should celebrate someone coming into the hobby rather than trashing them for paying more than we would. Just my thoughts.

I have two different styles of Champion X spark plugs. The style that appears to be of older vintage has the ceramic .285 below the face. The other is only .105. Would these be two different heat ranges?
