Forum members I’m looking for 2 used brass caps and 1 used brass door for the side lamps on a 1915. If you have some loose ones in your parts that you're willing to sell let me know, please include your price. I’m trying to help a friend out thats trying to put together a set of 3 that are semi corr...

When I did one of mine Mr. Regan told me to go with the non-adjustable set up, which I did. What I’ve experienced with the original Ford set up had me dreading the rebuild. I’m not saying the rebuild was simple but it was easier. I’m voting for the non adjustable too.

JTT3

Dennis, RV makes them if you want a repop.

JTT3

That’s almost 194.00 USA per tyre. Add shipping on that and it’d be pretty expensive for a set of 5.

JTT3

Carson I can’t explain in words how wonderful it is to see your post. Many of us ole timers worry about our hobby and the love affair that we have with our model Ts. We need more young folks to have that same enthusiasm that you have to keep it going. I’m also impressed that you took it on yourself ...

JTT3

That’s no step for a climber like you. See you there.

Tells you what I know, never knew gauntlets had number sizes. I only thought they came small, medium, large & extra large. Learn something every day

I’ve been recovering from some much needed surgery and was able to take a few trips to relax with my best friend. He really enjoys riding and exploring. If he’s around and I’m going for a drive in the T he’ll drop whatever he’s doing and ride along. He hops right in. He just loves it and his smile i...

This is nothing but good news, especially for us in the south & mid west.

I believe he may have the wrong size advance rod or not contoured to the appropriate bends for the commentator to be correctly retarded. Jelf’s video on timing is a simple & great example to follow when setting the timing and crank placement. Hopefully it will be that simple. Tony great job of triag...

JTT3

George that looks like a JB, could tell if I saw the base. I have a valve I can let you use to make one. It’s pretty simple. I think Mike Lebsack reproduces some generators but can’t be certain. He may have one already done.

JTT3

You don’t have to do the pistons but if you did you’ll have to see what the bore is on each cylinder. That will tell you what you’ll need. To do that you’ll have to send it to a builder. Your still going to have to remove the engine because you’ll have to replace the lifters along with the valves. Y...

JTT3

Ignacio, I think the coils might be a problem but I’m betting on your valves. Do a compression test to see if that’s the major issue. Remember you’re still running those old two piece valves. While your have it down you might want to go with aluminum pistons. It’s time you should replace the valves ...

JTT3

Way to go Dom, thank you.

JTT3

Keith, “I’m with you fellas!”
I’m in agreement.

JTT3

I agree that most are missed & indeed some have passed but there have been others asked to leave or were banned. I think that’s the word subtly used. That insult to them has prevented them from coming back as contributors to this site. I do miss the interactions of those forum friends even if it got...

JTT3

Nice of you to offer the scan Tim. Looks like it’s for a Victor based on the “hook” mention in the drip regulation. Still very usable no matter what type carbide generator. Best John

JTT3

What year T do you have? I’m assuming your selecting one for yourself

JTT3

Andrew sent you an email, John

That’s a dandy. Is there a raised bead that sort of locks the brackets closed on the tailgate hinge once you slam it shut?

Leon was a great guy. I met him at Chickasha more than a decade ago. Over the years Leon was always a real friendly guy that was passionate about his hobby and a real mentor with his knowledge. I have missed him the past few years at Chickasha. I guess I hadn’t read about his illness. I am saddened ...

Summit racing has 450-475 21 inch tires for $112 each and free shipping? The fronts tire you have are INSA TIRES, I always had good results with that brand, I don’t know if they make them anymore. I still have a set on the 27 Tudor. If your tube es and flaps are in good shape I’d use them again. I’v...

I like the 80W-90 Lucus gear oil. I like it because of its climbing ability. In my Ruckstell I added the tab that, I think, Dan McEachern talked about to direct more lubricant in the inner section of the Ruckstell

Bob my heart goes out to you & family, you have always been there for your mom.

You’ve fought the good fight. Be at peace...

Kim let’s talk about the other timer please. I’d like it.

JTT3

Or you could just rotate the ring gear 90 degrees. If you go the frugal way you’ll need to mark the ring gear and flywheel so you don’t put it back in the same place, oh make sure you put the ring gear on the correct side. Don’t ask me how I know to check that.

JTT3

Bob I still haven’t received an email from you on the radius rods. Sent you an email. Thanks John

JTT3

Andrew sent you an email. john

JTT3

I always think about using my left hand to crank a T but my right hand refuses. It’s not a question of if but when the same thing will happen to me.

JTT3

Ok Dave, sending you an email.

JTT3

Yep just saw them I’ll contact you on email

JTT3

Bob I’d like the cast radius rods, if the shipping isn’t to bad, zip 39482. Thanks John

Good evening forum. I have a friend that is completing a 15 roadster with a large drum rear axle that we’ve already rebuilt. We went with the larger drum for braking however we’ve added an auxiliary transmission. So now we are looking for a used set of large drum brakes. Let me know what you have. T...

I haven’t seen a post in a long while from the “Brasscarguy”, I believe he lived in the Washington State area. Anyone know how he’s doing? Thanks John

It was good to see Kirk Hill on the video. He has the 14 roadster on the trip. I haven’t seen him much the past few years but he’s the friend that got me started in t modeling. He is an awesome person as well as a great Model T mechanic. He was my mentor and I’ll always be thankful for his guidance ...

Back up for sale!
Bob thanks for the heads up on the shipping, who would have thought it would cost almost as much to ship as to buy. Truly a gentleman to let me pass on it. Best John

Don those pre war TEXAS plates are worth some money, so I doubt you’ll get any cheap. You’d really be surprised at what they’re worth. Original paint even more

JTT3

So let’s answer the wiring question first. If this is the box you’re talking about and it came like it looks now more than likely the wiring is connected in the box. There are slots and holes that are drilled in these older coil boxes that exit out behind the switch and connect inside the switch. Do...

JTT3

Wow, it appears the 13 roadster is grossly overstated as a 13, lots of non 13 parts including well just about all of it, maybe even the radiator. The turtle deck which is a late 23-25, the tub is not 13 but they can call it any year they want as long as the price is right.

Thanks so much Kim. Best John

Scot I had a Sears a while back and quite frankly I’m very disappointed in what you have done to the Sears.

Caution: this tool will make you extremely popular with anyone that has a model T or is building 1 from scratch. I bought one from Jack a few years ago and the other parts from Dan at the same time. Then I stopped answering my phone & door. Ha, great tool and insert plus taps

I’ve used Red Kote for decades to seal Porsche tanks that are prone to rusting out an are not reproduced at a cost most can stomach. The Red Kote does not fully harden and is flexible.

I went to Chickasha this year to mainly see some old friends.

No Bill it did not, it had a newer engine in it. I think a 17 or later
