Way to go Dom, thank you.

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...

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

Tony looking very nice I am so happy for you. The sewing room & scissors, bittersweet.

JTT3

I’ll take the extra 12 volt, if anyone backs out on the 6 volt I’ll take it also. Thanks

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?

JTT3

Calling you Matt. Thanks John

JTT3

I’ll take it. Thanks Matt!

I’ll take them, called you Matt. Thanks John

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 ...

Sold, thank you Don

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

JTT3

My friend Fred will take them

Absolutely wonderful. Mike you and Jen will have a blast. So very happy for the family. By the way Junebug has been a Godsend. I’ve logged over a thousand of mind clearing miles with her.

Bob my heart goes out to you & family, you have always been there for your mom. I remember us talking about the loving obligation we have to our folks that took care of us when we were small & unable to. In their dotage we owe them that same love and caring. You’ve fought the good fight. Be at peace...

Maybe it’s for later model engine pan oil plug?

JTT3

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

Mike Lebsack Is the person you need to contact. Great guy, search for his name on the forum and you can send him an email

Henry, I noticed you missed in your tool assortment the BFH as an adjunct to the other tools.

JTT3

I’ll take them. Thanks John

What’s the front cam bearing look like?

JTT3

Yes, sent you a message thanks John

Not sure but I thought that was for a space to run wiring.

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 ...

JTT3

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

JTT3

I’ll take it. Thanks John

JTT3

What brand

JTT3

I’ll take it. Thanks 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.

JTT3

Thanks so much Kim. Best John

Keep the pictures coming. Best John

JTT3

Scot I had a Sears a while back and quite frankly I’m very disappointed in what you have done to the Sears. Finding one in that condition and then changing the horizontal engine out for a Yanmar engine is well just plain irresponsible everyone in the hobby knows the Kubota 28 hp diesel is a much bet...

Mack not that it couldn't happen but I’ve never seen Red Kote peel or sluf off after curing using real gas, fake gas, diesel or kerosene. I’ve used in other applications also, like carbide tanks, field coils, oil font tanks but all of those were cleaned & dried before application. Easy to remove als...

JTT3

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

JTT3

Yep Victor model 1, very early one had Brass bonnets then all steel through 13,

JTT3

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. If you ever want to remove it acetone liquefies it again. I’ve used it in carburetor bowls and on field coils to se...

I went to Chickasha this year to mainly see some old friends. Putting the parts aside is a little difficult since most of the relationships I built really developed from meeting and talking to the vendors or buyers over the decades. It’s almost been a monument for me, a place to remember fellow enth...

I’ll take it if you can deliver to Chickasha.
Thanks John

Ben please send me pictures of this horn and the others. Thanks John

Kim I am truly sorry for your loss however the passion that Ken had & shared with You has been and continue to be exhibited by you. If he was anything like you, it is a great loss to the hobby. Prayers to you and to your family. Best John

Just in case you need 21 inch tires. This seems like a good deal & free shipping.

If yes, w...

Tony you have been a person that has gone the extra mile in helping people. I’m proud for you! I’m also glad to be able to call you a friend. Look forward to seeing you at Chickasha. Best John

JTT3

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

JTT3

I think I see three rivets / bolts under the rear door. Wouldn’t that make it a 10?

JTT3

Yep I’ll take these also. Thanks John

JTT3

Rodger let me know how to pay. Sent you an email also

Our 09/10 is Named Miss Magnolia. Named her that in honor of one of the friends that helped me get started in this wonderful sickness and because of the state she resides in.

Bill unfortunately so I’ve been told by several early T owners is that the body numbers may have come fro the plant sequentially numbered but when they arrived and stored at the Ford plant for assembly they were sort of last in first out type of use. So the numbers could vary wildly. Now I don’t kno...

JTT3

Do you want a working radiator or one to just put on the T

JTT3

I’ll take them

JTT3

Well as a matter of fact it did have a model T engine in it. A 1915 to be exact.

Are there or will there be a section with the usual links to the encyclopedia, vendors, events and other links?
