15/16 had a tube for the left head lite.

I have ran TF ignition in three cars for 16 years. No problems at all. 8 and 12 volt systems run like a dream

The club is looking for a 23-25 high hood not a 26-27 passenger car hood. It’s for a TT.

So what is the price??

How do you like the Mitchell? I love mine. Makes shifting a breeze. No more grinding and double clutching.

Steve. I have a set like the those with the original box. I thought about putting them on my 16 But….

I had four of them once. I have used them and they work well on most of the bolts, one tool instead of two. Nice speed wrench.

Dan am I on your list?

Dan. I’ll take a set. Let me know the total cost and I’ll send you a check. Don

I’ve gone through four sets of universal ribbed whites. First set was in 2003 then about 2008 they didn’t turn brown. The next two sets turned brown and got hard and wore out pretty fast. They look really good on an early car but is it worth it?? I just put a set of blacks on. BTW car is a 16 touring.

I think they are oxen

Mark ? Is the crank standard or under. If under how much.

He might want to check the orientation of the spring perches. I found it to be a problem on a car I bought years ago.

I think the windshield is on backwards??

Tom Monocchi. ???

Really nice looking truck. Love it

I would bet he was sheep herder.

Ben. Email me with your address and I’ll send you the part you need. No charge/just postage. Don. fordfool@verizon.net

Ring gear bolts hitting the pinion gear??

Could it be for the 3 row radiator used in 26?? Just a thought.

Any forum members caught up in the Denver fires? Just thinking about it. I have been thru two of them. Something you don’t forget. Hope everyone is OK.

Steve I have a good one with with a new fire wall if you need it.

I just welded a thick washer on the back side. Done deal

John H That 8V battery is for a golf cart. Not a standard group 1 battery. I use 8V batteries in three of my cars.

I have the 686 and 212 z tools you are looking for. Check your email. And call me. Don

Dick C about 6pounds

Scrape with peaces of broken glass. Cheep tool. I did a set of wheels that way years ago. Worked for me.

I have areal nice one in my 24 coup. They operate really well. I get a lot of comments on it.

Jonny Clouds place. He works on making them all run almost daily. You couldn’t meet a nicer person if you tried.

In my 20 it’s held in place by the seat. Pretty tight fit no room for hold down brackets.

I’m with Kerry. I started to install a 71/2 deg gear but I checked with Dave at Chaffin’s about there 280 cam. It’s already advanced. I asked if they were marked so and he said no but that would be a good idea. I’m with Kerry. Check the cam

Its not like the 19 switch I have.

Chris. What year T are you working on?? After 13 they were vinyl. The Only leather was the first roll at the door opening 14,15,and 16 not sure about later models.

Large drum rear end fender mounted head lights??

Gene. You need to tell them what happened. Curious minds are asking.

Thanks Frank and John. A friend gave me some Ford Z tools last week I could find the others in the book but not this one. Thanks again. Don

Marked Ford 15 Z 4016. I can’t find it in the Big book. I’ll try to load a pic. I’ll have to figure out how to post a photo. It’s a puller for something. Any help?? Don

John. Too bad you didn’t make it I had three S4BF carbs with manifolds there was for you to check out. One stock and two with adjustable high speed jets. All were gone thru by uncle Stan.

I changed mine to allanhead Use a long ball head Allenwrench. No problem.

You might try Jack Putnum. I got a pair of rear hubs from him a few years ago. They are really nice. Worth a try. Don

Looks like If he pushes the steering wheel forward it presses the clutch. You see a vertical shaft just in front of the rear seat cushion and a rod going down an angle. Don

Roll up rear curtain??? 13/14 ??

I drill and tap the outlets. I have both mechanical and electrical units on mine. Don

Why are those lock washers still on the fan arm bolt? They should be removed and a pin put thru the bolt. Two times I have seen the bolt with no pin back out and the fan destroy a brass radiator. Just my opinion. Don

Very interesting. I emailed you for more information. Don

That got screwed up. Front fenders 13/14. Rear fenders 13/14 first photo 15/16 second photo.

Fenders 1913 1914 rear fenders 1314/1516 is what it looks like to me.

Looks like he has aged a little also.

The Carb looks pretty rusty. I would go with the lead gasket under the seat. I’ve had that problem before.

I am taking three GOOD radiators, one late brass, One low, and one high. Three or four (1920) NH Straight throughs. I might throw in a bunch of Z tools. Still thinking about it. I need to downsize. Getting too old for this stuff. Don

I’ll be there. Need a change of faces and scenery. Hoping for a large public turn out and a good prime rib dinner. See y’all there. Don

big-meters@comcast.net. He repaired mine and recalibrated It.

Hi Randy. Mark got it. I’ll email you my address. I think I still have your phone number. I’ll talk to you later. Don

Fenders and splash aprons?? Hood former. A lot of different features between a 15 And 17

Looks like it has a ruckstell shifter??

You can put me down for one. Thanks Don

WOW. He is pretty proud of those. $650.00??? I have two sets of them I think I paid $200.00 for the best one a couple of years ago. They still have the label on them.

I put Allen heads in mine. Use a ball end wrench. No problem. Don

Pep That’s the one I have.

I would use the NH on two of my cars. They are good carbs. I think they give a little power than the swayback’s. IMO. DON

Jonah is your carb a straight thru or a swayback. You can tell by looking thru the carb. If it’s a full circle it’s a straight through.. If it looks oval it’s a sway back. The straight thru gives a little better performance if it’s set up right. Don

Thanks Cudaman. That’s what I was looking for.

Pep mine looks a lot more primitive than that one. Don

Is there a re pop Stevens tool catalog available. I recently picked up a few Stevens tools and would like to look them up. One is a T 122. Thanks in advance. Don

Sea Foam. Works good. I use it all the time.

Hi. It looks like a NH straight thru. Rebuild it and put it on your car. Don

I would sure like to know where that third photo was taken. Very interesting area.

Martynn I heard they are not making the tanks any more. The guy that made them retired????

Check out the plate numbers on the first picture.

If you take the cover off the shaft and gears are marked with a 5 stamped on them. Don

Lisa Joining the LBMTC was good move. The members are some of the most helpful people around. All you have to do is just ask any one of them for help and you’ll get it. Have fun. Don

Rich That T was made for the show. Standard T frame and rear end with a golf cart power plant. There were two of them alike.

Coil box?? Spark jumping??

Photo #3 looks like a California plate with the star tag.

I have three hanging in my garage. Check your email and call me. Don

Sounds like the plug in the transmission shaft is leaking or missing????? OIL in the UJoint?

Sorry to hear this Jeff It is one of the best meets on the west coast. Next year?? Don

By the way Brians and mine were the later sway back type. Don

Tom I had one and gave it to the MTFC museum for display. I believe it was Brian Dowell that had one. No one seems to know or have any information on them. If anyone has any information on them let’s hear it. Don

I’m with you Rich. Lip on the fender looks “13”

Wow KC Warford and disc brakes. Built to drive.

I received mine yesterday . Really nice book lots of pictures and explanations. Funny thing I have a Goss HCCT That they said was kind of rare. Maybe I’ll have to restore it.

Same here. I think he got us off the forum.

You can put me down for two please if you will. Don

Locktite between the axle and the shim worked for me. Don

You might try the classifieds

Allan They were probably the city councilman.

I don’t know about the rest of the guys out there but when I see brown oil I think of water??? Don

I basically do the same thing only a screw slot and a magnet. Done it for years. Don

Bolt is to remove them

Guides to install a head??

Rusty Fords. That sounds like me. Don

Rich looks like the guy in the background couldn’t make it to the outhouse.

It’s no hill for a climber. Right Larry?? I have been down 18%+ dirt roads in Cajon Pass a couple of times in my 16 touring. It felt like I was standing on the floorboards. Lo gear and low gear KC Warford. Enough to pucker a$$ h...e but it was fun at the time. Don

I agree with Kerry. I use 8v batteries also. No problems at all just adjust the 3rd brush in your generator. No need to change lamps or anything. Don

Love those WHITES on Brass cars.

Funny, I didn’t see a reply that mentioned getting the model T Ford club of America repair book on rear ends. It will give you all the information and specifications you need to do a rebuild or repair on your rear end. You can order them through the model T Ford club of America club or any of the ve...

I love those WHITES

I believe Jack’s wife still operates the antique store. I heard that she donated his model T parts to the local high school. Not real sure about that but I believe that’s what she said. I haven’t been up there for about two years now. Don

Oops Sorry for the double post

Jack Randel lived at 615 South Main St. big Pine California. He was a member of the Riverside/corona model T Ford club. He used to build bitsa cars and sell them from his front yard (CaHwy395) IUsed to stop by and see him on my way to the Sierras. He passed away a few years ago. He was one heckuva n...
