Good on you!
The bottom view of the Laurel is gorgeous and looks like two O.T.'s I have here.

That's a fantastic pic!

A good find Dallas!

22, 23 or 24 thumbs up N!

No nonsense machines. Great report Dallas!

Nice! Thank you!

Did anyone take any pics at Bob's?

Thank you Mark. I didn't know either.

I agree in this instance with G in post 2. Try again, with edits.
Piquette deserves some help.

Thank you Chris!
I don't say much on the forum right now but I hadn't been allowed in for more than a month.
Again, thank you.

Heck, even Steve drove a Chevrolet! A square blue Suburban.
Steve, it wasn't your 15 you rolled over the front of the trailer was it? Been awhile.

Nice!
Bent but not broken.

Is the N's steering wheel upside down? Guess he preferred it that way.

Great group of photos!

The July '17 (originalish) body on what I call an '18 here has a handy "shelf" for the back spring cushion bolted to the body, it fits right in yet I've found no evidence of anything above that other than the upper tack rail. Granted, I do not know who built the body. The car was close around the Mi...

Nice four-bolt pedestal B!
I liked the next series B I had (41 or 42). Good little bugger.

Hope you get a plan and have fun!
This I must say: I have waited a very long time to hear another person say a phrase you used.
I learned it this way from a very humorous life-long friend of dad's. "Kill two stones with one bird."

You made my day!

Except after C.
My 90 yr old mom caught me with the I before E bit a week ago. I write things to her since she cannot understand my voice.
Can't see well, can't hear but she's sharp!

That's my mom!

She's cool.

Funniest, coolest, nicest man I ever met was dad.
Hey dad, give me the finger!

Looks like a neat car with the long hood. 6 cyl making 40hp, it must have really flew. If I may: There's a very nice fellow on this board that allowed me a ride in his K roadster some yrs ago. Holy cow do they move! He puts it in high and pulls the throttle, within a second his gloves on the floor ...

Hahaha! GR, the Slinky pic is really neat!

Don't know anything about them but I know I want one when I grow up. :) Try the links I just found. Perhaps a bit of info out there and hope this helps. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=kwik+way+multi+machine&t=seamonkey&ia=web click on the images tab for a few pics, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/foru...

Gorgeous coupe Gunnar and welcome! You have this handled.
I too might cry about checking the rear axle.

Crazy how the funny things are sometimes of our own (or others) making! That was great Jerry!

Hehehe, there's your diagram!

Good stuff!
Is typed OK? Can't make this up, it was just a few days ago.
A Hypocrite:
Taking a small piece of cake, barking about too much frosting and peeling it off.
Eating the cake (which was good!) then scraping the frosting off the plate and eating it over the next 15 minutes.

I'm not keen on re-painted things anymore but I have to admit that looks really nice!
Nice saw!

Simply excellent! You sure captured some great pics!
Thank you.

I'm not a Dodge guy but find this thread interesting.
Same issues with other brands too. VVT, gas caps and evap troubles. Or Diesels and their def juice etc.
Your pickup has a nice rumble! If you like it, that's what counts!

Would you guys have a look at this carb? We’re stumped. Brass float inside of course. With a gear drive adjustable main jet? 1. Apparently, all casting numbers start with M. 2. M3767 sediment “bowl”. 3. A Fairbanks Morse like flutter valve yet a hole below. Adjustable. Look here if you wish to. Shor...

And here I thought the full sized cars are small! That's cute!

Thank you very much for the photos! They're awesome!

Saaweeet! Nice pickup!

Hehe, I know one of those guys! Rapscallions.
Thanks Michael for the great pics!

Do some realize the OP removed the posts himself?

Thank you for small updates. c n n actually said once he fell down. He ducked.

Neat thread Vern. Hehe, that fan might actually work. ;) Goll dang, that is a familiar fan. Slant six? Industrial? I had to do similar. No fan, no water inlet elbow so I grafted another brand's fan on and used a wheel chock(water helper). Will never be changed, works too good. Even a hacked off late...

That is flipping cute Michael!

Thank you for the pics!

I caught a bunch. Here's a couple.
The eyes saw them as washed out so I used the new, hated phone with an excellent camera and the colors popped!
915. To the north, about 10:30.
434-2. To the east and upside down. For those afraid of their own shadow. OOOOH, we're coming for you!

BECAUSE it was not designed for today's driver.

That was great! Naughty boy using a lowly Ford... Vroom!

I need to start all over again. All the wood (and steel) that I squirreled away is gone and I need more!

Insect (ant) repellent. How that screw delivers it is unknown to me.
Called our local guys about an ant hill next to our pole as the pole was starting to move.
They nudged it back some, re-tamped the dirt and put the screw in the pole. Boom done.

What a beautiful car! Dave H beat me to "The car looks beautiful. Can I have a ride?" :) I wanna see that starter-equipped engine with '11 pedals! Neatly thought out! Such a neat thread comes from a couple (I'm pushing up under my nose with my thumb) fellas that are too cool for school. Bless them f...

Apparently, it may have been a spanner in the works for a couple (I thought) good fellas Mitch. :) Perhaps they should contact admin about this frivolous absurdity... :lol: So.... a fella that may actually drive a really old non-Ford (name starts with a D) barks about your request in the OT forum. :...

^What Michael said.^ I also believe it MAY have been silly to rip that building down but the state has different views. $$ :?: Uhh, call me anything you wish but I cannot find where it says "aliens" were living there... :?: Off the rails completely. I already typed too much but I understand better. ...

Richard, you find some VERY funny things!
Let's throw Caution to the wind!

Dang, I like this Vern.
IF I see this correctly, you can turn the copper contact disc with the "knob" on top for new contact points?
Always neat "outside the box" info and thank you!

And a very Merry Christmas present!
Perhaps quieting the color of the wires might help?
Gorgeous Torpedo.

Steve, how difficult was it, sitting in Joe's running Breezy, to not release the brake and push the pedal?

Welcome back sir! Great to read your posts.

Saweet snow machine!

Rob, you had me laughing when I read you and Julie were in the "books with big pictures" section. :lol: It's time to go back to B&N. I think I'd like that section. :) I like the K also. It might buck ya once in awhile but it won't argue and say you're wrong. ;) Mack, that was classic! :lol: "....wel...

This might surprise you. Mind Game.jpg Ooh, I know people that will never get that one Bob. Sorry but I've stolen it and it will be placed elsewhere. Good find and thank you! On the other one: Bacon fest or gun show.... Bacon flavored bacon maybe, maple bacon, jalapeno bacon, sausage bacon,...

Nice car! Lesser men might be overwhelmed with all these excellent responses but you take it in stride and have done 1/2 the research already! :) Only thing I could possibly add is about the ?oil line? in your pic if that's what it is. (My red arrow.) Accessory oiler on the mag post perhaps. When I ...

Hey Sue, at some point we are about to burst. Do not leave here due to my typing else you fall into the trap you lay. You have much model T things to say. Here's my take from the peanut gallery. We all just bowed. OK, just me. ;) I saw a post here from a dear friend of this site that was VERY politi...

Hope this one is OK also. Found my new cheater pipe! Real photo. Wanted it the other way round but the steering shaft hole is too small. A grouchy click from today as I stepped back from fighting with OT's. I put it on and thought :lol: Cheater pipes hid while this looked at me from the corner. Test...

Thank you for the Fitzgerald info Ed.

There's a pair of Fitz #728's here which are far, far from this realm.

Net video! Downtown DC? Oh my but it worked.

How's about you all keep this political CRAP off of here ??????????

Agreed! I.............................................................................. Any references should've been edited out, much like another thread.

Excellent report Mike! Glad it's running again!

Your thread also produced good info about dizzys and Pert-fired dizzys!
Harvey beat me to it about modern condensers and I have a Pert II in a machine so interesting tidbits. Thank you.

Excellent find Erik! Thank you.
Great vid!

Neat pic. :) Aww poo, I was hoping to see a version of a centered brake handle and accoutrements. I believe the user of the late TT here unbolted and tossed the brake/control shaft since he was in and out of the door a lot. Couldn't blame him. This truck is easy to get in and out of without. With th...

That's really neat the old DU mag was still hot Allan!

Part of our attempts to keep the spam bots & AI from creating bogus IDs and posting.

Chris & Jeff

And it's working pretty well!
Thank you guys! Even the peanut gallery notice it.

I have a mid-late 70's New Day that was on the '18 Runabout. The spring for the "brush", I believe was the culprit.
Very strong spring. The cover wouldn't settle in like it should. Ya know, it sat wonky and wobbled as the engine turned.

Nice truck Steven! And a trophy!

Fantastic thread! Many voices of reason. Hehe, hard to tell sometimes who's tongue is in their cheek. :) :twisted: will powers let it survive? One point and not to argue: Aren't space rockets Hydrogen Peroxide fueled? About 93% pure? I forget. Pretty clean, I thought. ;) A T at an emissions test: Do...

Nice pics Doc!

So nice that Mike got there and is visiting with Steve as it may mean the world to him right now.
I know I sure like visiting with my brother.
Thanks Dallas!
Hi Steve!

Hope this is OK Ken. I really like the shop you toured and your two pics of the HUGE engine valve in the lathe with another grinder are really neat! Last night I watched a tube video of the same shop! About 10 minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXDbH5pzagc Not affiliated other than subscribing...

Boy oh boy! That makes a fella smile! Or a lady.

Thank you to you folks that check/look in on Steve and keep us...

Vern, I'm glad I waited to ask how it turned out. :) I was voting for you too! You had the guts to try it and that is paramount. Very cool! Excellent post Chad! Nobody said we couldn't. I had my own little foray into a radiator as a 16 or so year old. The IH truck rad been thru the rad guy's shop. 1...

Thank you for the positives for our Steve Jelf. A real ambassador for the hobby.
Dallas, thank you for holding his car, his belongings and making the time to get him some things.
This is tough to see. Wishing well and a speedy recovery from here.

Wayne, you raised an excellent point about what I said about a kill switch and you're right. In my myopic view, I was thinking about a larger engine that's quite difficult to crank instead. That doesn't excuse me tho. I could edit out what I said but I won't for continuity. If I would've had a on-of...

Thank you for the pic! The rubbing block always follows the points. CW. Gotcha, the dual slip ring makes it a longer mag. I missed that. Strange that Bosch didn't simplify and use two sets of holes instead of two different castings. Mike, our associate T.M. out east uses four different CW DU's with ...

Thank you for that Chris!

I am not a number, I am a free man!

Those gears do look nice! Matt, would you take a photo or two of the points plate (so we can see which plate you have), the interrupter housing as it mates to the end cap and inside the points cover? If you care not to, that's OK too. :) The foolishness below is just extra blah, blah, blah. Did you ...

I can't think of a tractor magneto that DIDN'T have adjustable timing until the late 30's. And they still had impulse couplers for starting. Some engines? Yes on non adjustable timing. If the interrupter housing comes right off after removing the cover/cap, you're good to go for easier replacement w...

Pat, I should know the name of that tune! Great jam. Thanks Eric! I grew up listening to old-time music jam sessions at home a couple times a year. Aunt and uncle along with relatives sometimes, mom on the spoons... Don't disturb the microphone recording it! Aunt Kay had a better voice than Suzy Bog...

Mike, I'm afraid you wouldn't bore us with your work to keep The Time Machine ticking.

Gosh, that internal view from Tuesday looks like a surreal and dream-like photo.
Bronze. Thrust bearings. Hyatts. Ahhh.

With my old clunkers, I tap the rim with a soft rubber mallet to be certain it isn't rusted to the bucket. Or at least negotiable. Set the lamp (lens down) on a tall vinyl covered stool, PUSH and twist it unlocked. I like! I bet a little WD or your favorite spray would help a bunch! Ooh, a rubber ma...

A small note from the peanut gallery: That, I believe is an Oakes cooling fan! TMI, Built in Indy. A single sheet, stamped out, possibly with blade angle formed and then the outer ring rolled. Oakes: 1910 -1925 then absorbed into Martin-Parry. The truck cab and body bunch. Neat to see. Excellent aut...

Thank you for asking Austin.

G. R., you're correct! Apparently only the offensive one tho. We helped or did we?
Fine. We won't know.

Neat place and the music isn't bad either!

Even more fantastic pics! Wow!
Thank you Austin! Much appreciated here too. Excellent thread!

When I watch the tube, I should seek that out and watch it!
It'd be more fun than wading thru 2001 a space odyssey.

It would be nice if our mods or the board of directors would let us know what we did wrong. Not sure if I care to know who pushed it over the limit but the whole thread deleted not the offending post/posts? I know the board of directors also watch and have final say if a question arises and they've ...

That is really neat!
That's where the earlier pics came from...

A guy never forgets a redhead...

Neat placement of the vac tank. Put a hood on and any mechanic will marvel at what's going on underneath. Especially one that doesn't know what it is.

Thank you for the pics Rich!

I was thinking Dean Martin.

Goll dang it. AI is infiltrating.
Was going to say that there are some really neat photo sets right here!
I sound about as bad as the AI. Jeez.

Yeehaw Mark! A FUN designed model T! No worries about correctness, just fun. I like it.

JT said then: "The inside diameter is 9/16" and the outside is 3.000"
I'll admit I have not checked mine from TTP. Yet.

Les, thank you for that. Very interesting.

It must be pure hell for the mods, chasing all of these posts. Ugh.
Even downstairs here in the OT section.

Like this table grabbed from digikey? A couple forums said as much then I found this easy table.

Onward and back to the sketchy info pages.

A month ago: Here’s where I’m at. Chastising expected/info welcomed. ;-) Doggone it Neal I forgot about a growler and never considered it for testing a magneto armature and condenser. Art, I’ve heard of that before but without the detail of the flasher to cycle the coil/fencer on and off. With a goo...

That accessory oiler looks like it would actually work! Nice.
Neat mess! Put-togethers are a crap load of fun! You could name it Frank N Stein!
Someone else had fun piecing it together. I like it. Do exactly as you wish.

I ask my son to buy ebay items I need.

Pat, you remember that?

Your megger on the secondary winding test taught me something. You showed a very nice photo above.
A coil I had been "playing with" showed a 3.65 so in the ballpark I think.
Thank you on many details!

Fate, that dumb song is stuck in my head now...
