Thanks for your help guys. I was hoping to solve the mystery of why my Maxwell never had a cowl mounted gas tank like others built in 1917. IF this tank had been available when my Maxwell was built I would have been able to assume it was a preference of the body builder. But since there is no eviden...

Guys, My 1917 Maxwell was sold new without a body because the original owner wanted to build a body to suit his needs. It came to me with 1929 PA plates and I always assumed it had an Amish built body. It should have had a factory under cowl mounted gas tank but appeared to have been ordered without...

How about making one of these:

Sent my very first PM to a member about parts in the classifieds 3 days ago and no response. When I check Messages it doesn't show up in the Sent folder but it is shown in the Outbox. Was it never sent or did I do something wrong?

Thanks,

I believe to thing they fly was a patched up Ercoupe. Can't remember if he had a license. There are allot of stories of drive bombing the neighbors and backfiring the engine over houses to scare them. Thanks Jim, Just one last question. As a collector of oriental antiques including Samurai swords I...

That old photo might be an A. I never thought it looked like this T. dad and his brother had several home built contraptions running around then, even 1 that flew. Van Urine would be a great name for a T. Okay Jim, NOW you've really got me hooked! Does the flying machine still exist or a picture? D...

Am I the only one who sees a cutdown Model A in the old photo and NOT a Model T?

[quote=Ruxstel24 post_id=19305 time=1553649588 user_id=116] WOW :) that's pretty small !! Do you have or will you have a plane for it ? [/quote] Just couldn't resist owning it when I found one for sale. They are highly collectable and pricey. I may never be able to afford to have the missing parts m...

[quote=Ruxstel24 post_id=19288 time=1553646736 user_id=116] That's really neat !! About how big around is it ? How long is the rocker ? [/quote] To be honest I'm waiting on it to be mailed to me. It's supposed to be around 5 1/2 inches in diameter. Here's 2 more pictures of other engines and parts I...

I realize this is a long shot but I've always had good luck with all the varied interests on here. I just acquired a 1940's Morton 5 cylinder radial model airplane engine. It is missing 2 exhaust pipes and one rocker arm is broken. Does anyone know of a parts source? Would this possibly be a prospec...

TEST, just wanted to see if it worked after 2 days of trying!
