I will look tomorrow but most of the stuff I had was for wooden doors.

Joe Bell

Maybe you could talk Mike out of it, he got the UJ carb also but I know it went to Stan for rebuild.

Joe Bell

Just got rid of one to Mike in Cedar Rapids iowa.

Joe Bell

Now even a harder question there was all wood doors, steel and wood door, and all steel doors depending on when it was made?

Joe Bell

The post, or on the door?

Joe Bell

What year? I have 50 of them on a shelf.

Joe Bell

Perry, would love to have it up there in your neck of the woods, been talking that for years but no one wants to plan it up there and I am not from that area, Geneva on the lake, wine country, you would have all the wives wanting this trip!

Joe Bell

Jerry, I sure miss cousin Bud! He always found these barn fresh cars that always ran perfect. I heard he found one in a Mine shaft??

Joe Bell

A few where talking of doing the trip on our own just to see how it will go.

Joe Bell

We have decided to pull the plug on the Jamboree this year since eight people where making it happen but we are not a club. We all belong to different clubs but it would not be sanctioned from MTFCA or MTFCI if any restriction are on in the state of Ohio. June , July will be to late to make arrangem...

Joe Bell

from 14-17 is the year.

Joe Bell

I went this eve to a pre online auction that will be next week, there is one there and cleaned up and greased if you want I will bid on it for you. give me a call 419-618-1025 Joe

Joe Bell

I have the top part of a ford seat do not know what year it is but it is not 26-7 seat since i have those cars.

Joe Bell

Let me check with a friend, he lasered some of them out.

Joe Bell

If you have a rod that looks like that, the crank is going to need ground or you will be replacing rods in that one cylinder all the time, since the crank is out getting ground you might as well bite the bullet and have the bottom repoured and bored. Just my thoughts since it is out and tore down.

Joe Bell

Bob,
I have been looking for one of those heatyer manifolds for a while put my name on it if the threads are good!!

Joe Bell

I have made wood for Coupe's, Fordor's and installing the aluminum strips with the nails have been challenging, first one was screwed in and duraglas over them they showed, next ones where nailed and JB weld they showed the last ones I set down and really looked to see how they did it and it was alu...

Joe Bell

I have one that is two long bars like the front but it has the short arm mounts for the rear? If of interest I will have the wife send a picture. Joe

Joe Bell

Scott, I have a head that looks like a normal T head except no wells where the plugs are, some one once told me Hemco? It is a cast iron one and works well on my Fordor, they are out there Just got rid of one a month ago, the nice thing no one knows you have a High compression since it looks just li...

Joe Bell

I have a five gallon bucket of metal trim pieces some are for coupes and fordors but the others I have no ideal, if you can give me lengths I will look to see if I have any.

Joe Bell

I have one side of the trim with the notches in it if that is what your looking for? The lower trim just got sent to someone else.

Joe Bell

If you can borrow a facing tool they work the best. If you where not so far away I would tell you to bring it over and we could knock it out.

Joe Bell

Those look really familiar?? Thanks

Joe Bell

it is usually one gear that is stripped, an easy fix, have one water jetted or lasered out and it is back to working again.

Joe Bell

If you feel on the back side is it the zig zag style or does it travel in S's as it goes up and down? If so it could be just the one gear stripped and some one had some of them lasered out years ago.

Joe Bell

There is four different styles I have seen, I have a couple.

Joe Bell

What style you looking for? the screw, the S,or the pot metal pods?I have the vertical screw type.The pod type are cracked up that i have but Lang's use to carry the new brass pods.

Joe Bell

Dave, I sent pictures of the head I have to your email. Joe

Joe Bell

Can not believe you want to take apart a good looking car?

Joe Bell

Some one awhile back was looking for the notched qtr window trim for the rear of a Coupe or Fordor, I was looking for something else and came across one if still needed.

Joe Bell

I recently sold a set to Scott Conger so maybe he can show them off, they had been lying around for years and thought they could go to use to some one.

Joe Bell

Are you talking the low head with out Ford or made in USA? If so I have one in my collection of extra stuff.

Joe Bell

I visit Raliegh Durham area and they come to Ohio also if you need some thing hauled.

Joe Bell

All the vendors are out of copper head gaskets so you do not really have a choice right now.

Joe Bell

Bill, I have always done it with friends and good 2-4's that way you can lift evenly and take your time, I did my last one with straps and my loader, the straps shifted and now I have a big dent to deal with, glad it was not painted yet. Just my to cents worth! Joe

Joe Bell

Had one the other day was trying to sell a car that had been setting for a few years I took it around the block with the person interested in showed him how to shift the ruckstel. He then took his wife around the block and it dropped a cylinder, checked the coil first it was good, pulled the plug to...

Joe Bell

I have a shelf full of them, If you are not to far into PA you are welcome to come and take your pick of the bearings, there is some housing here also if you want some inner sleeves that have less wear than the outers. Joe Bell Tiffin Ohio

Joe Bell

Larry, I have a guy coming this week from Valley city if that would get them closer to you. I know the wooden door trim is in there since I took apart a couple Fordors year ago.

Joe Bell

There is a difference from steel doors to wood doors.

Joe Bell

Larry, I have a whole 5 gallon bucket of them, you are welcome to any of them take your pick.

Joe Bell

Rich, those where the Jahns pistons, they where made out of any aluminum they could find, I saw one that did not have crap for compression in a cylinder, tore it down and I could see through it on top from porosities in the aluminum.

Joe Bell

That is a heck of a good price for good wood and sheet metal a few nails and primer and you are ready to roll!l

Joe Bell

I have seen that on engines with the flywheel stripped, not enough oil being vaporized.

Joe Bell

Rich, Les, I have pulled many down with the cork in them, always wondered how the held up? What ever was between the cork crumbled but the cork was still good.

Joe Bell

Lang's had some recently, compliments of Don Shanabrook.

Joe Bell

Toon,
I have tore engines down with them in it, the brass that is imbedded in the material comes off and goes into the babbitt and then you would know what that looks like. They do work and hold well but pre engine failure from it.

Joe Bell

Tom,
It is more of the wives than us Cheri, Dianna, Becky, and My bride Tami they are more of the planners to make this happen, Dave Nolting started all of this after Marrietta swap meet.

Joe Bell

Dennis, It just went to Fort Wayne Sunday to Mike Hawkins, sorry. I had a trip to Kansas City and he had an interest in it and he was on the way.

Joe Bell

The Jamboree is going to be based out of Upper Sandusky Ohio touring Friday around Upper, then Saturdays Tour will be to Marion Ohio, Sunday may head towards Tiffin and back country roads. We are wondering if there is enough interest to continue with it? The Hotel is blocked for the jamboree and ple...

Joe Bell

Was talking to Dave Nolting this morning about the Jamboree, was wondering of peoples thought of it this year? We had started planning it then this virus has happened. The group did not know if we should continue planning it or wait till next year, since some places of interest may not be open to th...

Joe Bell

I got rid of one that was new to John Bell up in Canada, he was trying to peddle it, it was brand new and did not fit my speedster with the rajo, It had come with it in a box when I purchased it.

Joe Bell

All the ones I have tore down have long gated holes with screw headed bolts for clearance, if you use regular bolts your socket will not fit. The 26-7 style is made to be centered with the big drum, so all you need to do with the earlier driven plate is long gate the holes to make the pattern smalle...

Joe Bell

Are you looking for the one that used the screws instead of bolts and for the improved narrow brake drum with the removable lugs?

Joe Bell

It is a real purty car!

Joe Bell

Cast iron.

Joe Bell

I have a low head with no FORD or made in USA, was told it was early Canadian? Might be interested in finding it a new home.

Joe Bell

One of the years has square holes and another does not? I have a couple but not sure of the year?

Joe Bell

You have a really nice gear on that drum, I would replace the drum with Dave Noltings and it would be perfect balanced and new, you have it down this far what is another couple hundred dollars. If my own engine is down that far I would replace at least the reverse and low speed drum, they get all th...

Joe Bell

Sorry Mario, they are gone! Mack the single stacks go for 10 the double go for 25-30 so I figured 50 for the real early ones, and as RV said most change them out for 1/4 and ring geared flywheels so in case some day we get old and can not crank any more.

Joe Bell

I need to make a trip for brother in law to Kansas city area and back to Tiffin Ohio with empty goose neck trailer in a couple days so if any one needs a something throwed on be glad to help out. 419-618-1025 Joe

Joe Bell

Before hershey some one on the forum was talking how rare they are, so I decided to haul some and post a head of time where they would be, not even a looker at them.

Joe Bell

I hauled four of them to Hershey last year and never sold any of them, had a price of 50 bucks and you could take your pick a couple where in perfect condition, everyone said how rare they, well they are now melted down into scrap!

Joe Bell

I know I have given a couple friends the elbow to make there's complete and maybe one may be in my parts bin of vaporizers. But what year and when?? Hope this helps, there are better historians than I when it comes to the vaporizer!

Joe Bell

They are almost always missing and they where used for only a short period.

Joe Bell

I take it no one has ever seen the 90 degree sheetmetal elbow the bolts on there!

Joe Bell

Also since it is a 26-7 block take a close look at exhaust valve are going into the cylinder, 75% of those blocks have crack issues there. Hope this helps.

Joe Bell

Cylinder rings are always rotating, it is possible on that cylinder they are aligned, pull the piston and see? You are down this far why not rering it while you are there.

Joe Bell

Those fenders are different from each other, the 25 uses, they call the commercial fender and the 24 has the passenger car fender on them, so you may need to check to make sure where your body line is at the splash apron. If it follows the apron it is a 24 but if the line goes behind the apron it is...

Joe Bell

What spark plug does it take? Some use pipe thread and some use the Model A plug? What is this one?

Joe Bell

The best on the market are DMC gears, you pay more for them but a whole lot quieter then the others, they are cut on the same machine so the gears run smoother. I like to show people the others out there and let them run the two sets together and they sell them selves from how smooth they are! Just ...

Joe Bell

I press them out from the bottom, cut the valve off flush with the guide and press them out with a long hardened flat drift punch.

Joe Bell

That is what is neat about these threads, we can all learn something!

Joe Bell

Those are the good fittings!!

Joe Bell

One thing I do not see that all the early blocks have is the round casting sprues on the side of the water jacket where the water neck is? they are about 5/8 in diameter?

Joe Bell

I would say 12 also from the high hump where the fan bolts on and the serial number is above the water neck instead of side of block.

Joe Bell

At hershey I pick them up for 7-10 for cores. Hope this helps

Joe Bell

Depends on how early you are talking, the early square door hogshead and one piece pan will not except it but a 10 pan is 3/4 in wider like all the later ones have and those will take a starter hoghead.

Joe Bell

It was suppose to be warm, sorry Charlie!

Joe Bell

Just because Charlie you live in Ohio and has been cold all spring, now you need to stay war?

Joe Bell

At least that one will not warp from heat.

Joe Bell

Now where did you ever find this? Cool!

Joe Bell

I use to rebuild my own, then had Wally do them for me, Now since Wally Retired I have Bill Lucius of New Riegel Ohio do them for me, he supplies the big vendors with them and they are to deep in the engine to mess them up and to have to do them again. 419-595 2310 is his number. Hope this helps!

Joe Bell

Some of the ball bearing fourth mains are loctited to the shaft, when the trans heats up it has to expand and if it can not go out the rear it will go forward and push on the thrust of the rear main or get into the magnets and field coil?

Joe Bell

Early 13's still have the long one.

Joe Bell

I know they are not the engines I use to play with but I would hate to lift the head on compression.

Joe Bell

I used stud so less chances of pulling threads on the block, the studs have fine thread on the top side and used hardened washers.

Joe Bell

If you are blasting the outside of it, then it is sealed when valve is closed.

Joe Bell

Mike, there was some out there a few months ago that where thinner, most got sent back, but Frank Iocinio has the good ones out there, I think it is Red Hook restoration, web page. Hop this helps!

Joe Bell

Years ago I bought a motor home that had set for ten years, I should of known better to try to start it with that fuel, I got it to run and it smelled like varnish after I shut it down went to restart it and heard one heck of a noise. It had cooled long enough that all the valves had stuck and bent ...

Joe Bell

I did not think you drank? Coors? and I know you definetly do not smoke!

Joe Bell

Wish you where closer, you could have the whole flywheel!

Joe Bell

When I first started pouring, I bought a set like that, waisted a lot of time trying to figure a good pour out, then made a mold that poured from bottom up and had good pours all the time and you did not have to mess with the sprue in the center, you just band saw it off the side of it and use your ...

Joe Bell

If you are going to leave one set, go out and get some aviation gas, run it so it is in the lines and if it is a vented system it will evaporate and now you have a clean system in stead of shellac coated. Some one told me this as a young man and has worked on all my toys since, it is the only fuel t...

Joe Bell

I have a couple used ones that are really nice and just have not wanted to throw them away from engines I have torn down, I always replace them with DMC gears. There is a couple after market ones out there also? 419-618-1025 Joe

Joe Bell

Scott, send me an address and I will get it going. Joe

Joe Bell

Most are missing the fan extension, nice set up!

Joe Bell

Here are the pictures

Joe Bell

You would never get that power out of that Rajo head, not enough fuel flow to the valves.

Joe Bell

Header says it all if of interest will send pictures 75. Joe Bell 419-618-1025

Joe Bell

Wow what a collection of good stuff!
