Re: Starter Switch Problem
The earliest original Ford switches were held together with two screws much like the good USA repro (I believe they're a Ford tractor replacement) - those are harder to find but much easier to "service" unlike the 4 tab type as shown above.

Re: Starter Switch Problem
As Dan alluded to above - there's a cheap, imported POS available, who knows why - I won't carry them in stock and then there's the gold old Made in USA switch - I sold & installed dozens without any problems. Are you stating that you had the "better" one of the two go North on you, Allan ?

Re: The Old Fashioned Way
As a "buyer & seller" on this site, I'll add that as a retired heavy equipment operator, my hearing's not all that great and although I can't type, I can surely read ! The only addition I'll write out here is why, if I had a part for sale would a prospective buyer request I call him - I'm selling & ...

Re: What lube do you use on your Rajo or other overhead
I'm running a BB RAJO with a full length cover so I cut out a rather thick piece of cork material for a cover gasket to somewhat capture the oil mess - I manually oil the rockers & shafts with straight 30wt. prior to starting and I have a thick wool/cotton pad that I keep saturated to oil while runn...

Hopefully a couple of our "Babbitt pourers" will chime in but I believe Premium Nickel was acceptable for our engines.

Re: My cam gear status
I concur with Dan - nothing wrong with "Cylent" fiber gears - it's the repros made for the last 40 + years that will "come from together" at the worst possible time !

That's how I check mine - I use my c.c. jig that was ground as a surface plate.

Back in the sixties, my Dad went to a warehouse auction near the Seattle waterfront to bid on a new Model T Touring similar to the photo above - no, we didn't bring it home !

Could be early Hall-Scott or I recall another auxiliary shifter - might have been a Planator.

Good suggestion Dan - we trailered the '14 down your way for the National a couple years ago but I did have the Pace serviced with new bearing components & brakes prior to the trip but I believe I'm going to do just what you suggested as we're headed to Spokane for this years National (maybe) albeit...
