Joe Bell

Years ago i was wondering why certian cranks always had cracks like the DB cranks, my day job had a foundry so I took a bunch of different style cranks to work to check the metallurgy out in them, the DB was the highest chromium in them the EE crank had non the Sure Mike was right up there with the ...

Joe Bell

I have a HCCT you are welcome to use to test them with in Tiffin Ohio.

Joe Bell

He has always done a great job for me.

Joe Bell

I have one nice one.

The time is getting closer for Miller Ferry and the Yacht club to know who is coming this Sunday for T day on the island, if you have never been there they treat you very well on the island for refreshments before the parade and a lunch after. Line up is by 9:30 for the 10:00 boat. I do not plan on ...

Joe Bell

it is hard finding a good crack free 26-7 block, pay close attention for cracks between 2-3 in valve chamber and cracks from exhaust valve into cylinders.

Joe Bell

Just a reminder for the Put in bay trip for July 13 ,boat is filling up for the 10:00 boat, line up is 9:30, parking at Walmart just a few miles away for rigs. 1:00 is parade , please contact Miller Ferry ahead of time for pre ticket sales so they know how many will be there. Thanks Joe Bell 419-618...

Joe Bell

It is that time of year again and getting closer, You need to contact Miller Ferry and ask for Cheryll Rose to get advanced ticket sales. The tickets can be used on another date or fully refundable if a rain out that day. If you have never been there it is a great time, plenty of things to do and th...

Joe Bell

Most head out by 5, be in line at ferry by 9:30 for 10 o clock boat, parade is at 1:30, tour the island before or after parade, plenty to do and see.

Joe Bell

walmart is close and plenty of room.

Joe Bell

Some have tried advance ticket sales and some people at Miller Ferry had no ideal of it, made a phone call today and we have it straightened out ask for Cheryll Rose for discounted rate and sales, she will take care of you. Thanks Joe Bell

Joe Bell

Mark your calendar July 13 be in line by 9:30 for 10:00 boat, Miller Ferry is asking to purchase tickets ahead so they have a head count for that day, last year 58 said they where coming and only 38 showed up, Miller ferry supported two boats expecting that many and not needed after all.

Joe Bell

The Black one is the head you can take 3/16 off of it before getting into the water jackets, it has the thumb nail on back, the Montana boys look for that one ?

Joe Bell

Dennis I will look today to see what is in my collection.

Joe Bell

Where in Ohio? so am I.

Joe Bell

Joe Bell

Joe Bell

If you are in a pinch the AA crank is next one down from the EE they have less chromiun in them, stay away from any crank that have been ground off on the throws some are really thin from balancing at factory, more chances of breaking there, I am with Eric the 26-7 is my choice of cranks with the th...

Joe Bell

If you are not in a hurry next time I am headed to Milan will drop a hood hold down off Free!

Joe Bell

I have a boat tail speedster that has is name on the back of it, along with Jerk Reitsma and a few others.

Joe Bell

On the loose pins, I have went to the earlier style ring since the have larger pins, you need to drill out the plate for the larger holes, but loose rivets, find another one if you rerivet it it will be out of round to run in your fourth main.

Joe Bell

I have full size prints from Ron Buckley had made years ago.

Joe Bell

If your crank is already ground to size, line bore the block to except the larger journals, .010 is to thin.

Joe Bell

Just remembered these where for a Jackson car

Joe Bell

what size are they? I made some patterns years back for a big brass car, still have the patterns, have a local foundry that likes my old junk to parts.

Joe Bell

when ever there is two suppliers of a product it makes better pricing, as in Model A cranks!

Joe Bell

Andrew, It is a great swap meet but to travel the distance to see what is there and in four hours you have already walked it three times, If there is some thing you are looking for I would be glad to pick it up and haul it back to Hershey. Thanks Joe

Joe Bell

I will be in Siesta Keys next week, can throw one in back of truck if wanted.

Joe Bell

where about in florida does it need delivered?

Joe Bell

Is this a VW oil pump? I am not familiar with this setup was wondering if tube on top was for priming, this was a fresh rebuild with A crank but has set for many years, thinking of using this with my four valve Rajo but would love to know who else has done something like this or do i need to change ...

Joe Bell

Mark, that is identical to mine!

Joe Bell

I came across another one of these a couple years ago and it took the Model A plug instead of the A-25 that my head took.

Joe Bell

For some reason it does not come through some times? should be worth 100 plus the ride.

Joe Bell

You have been collecting these pics for a long time, it surprise me how many different ones you come up with, back in the day only rich had the cameras!

Joe Bell

Might want to get a old of Tim Morsher of Norwalk Ohio, he was building one of these and had collected lots of parts and made some repop to finish his project, He got Band a couple years ago from this sight but you can find him on the AACA sight also, hope this helps!

Joe Bell

I have the T block pouring fixture I would part with.

Joe Bell

Those are different than what i have on my original 12 touring?

Joe Bell

I was just thinking of him also the other day, he always finds these neat little trinkets for a T!

Joe Bell

At least Dubatt's crank would fit with out cutting the horse shoe!

Joe Bell

sent one back to your brides phone.

Joe Bell

For some reason it does not allow the message to come through, says it is on hold???

Joe Bell

I sent a private message.

Joe Bell

I have one do not know the shape of it, been laying in the cabinet for years, will check today.

Joe Bell

At one time everyone wanted them to restore their car back to original, this day and age everyone wants a starter? who would of ever believed that would happen?

Joe Bell

That is the wonderful thing of Hershey, people you meet and things you can find out of the blue!

Joe Bell

Dan, he was on my sight ay hershey.

Joe Bell

I have seen guys take an 18 and change it to a 3?

Joe Bell

Joe Bell

He is looking for the one with the thumb nail on the back.

Joe Bell

Joe Bell

Joe Bell

I had one come in years ago that was done like that with the Dunn's weights on it, had been dynamic balanced from some one else, it had a vibration that was driving the owner nuts, I pulled it down had it rebalanced and vibration was still there, took the weights off and rebalanced it and it was gon...

Joe Bell

Never got a message?

Joe Bell

I have had some built up through the years the three I have had done did not last, maybe in the last ten years things have changed? My thoughts since years back from my day job when ever you heat metal it changes it's structure.

Joe Bell

I am in the search for a 26-7 gas tank, I have never followed them so do not know what to expect to pay for one? Thanks Joe

Joe Bell

I have plenty, what year is the engine?

Joe Bell

Have a Sure Mike?

Joe Bell

Joe Bell

Glad to see Jim breaking in his new engine!

Joe Bell

Glad to see Jim breaking in new engine!

Joe Bell

Tom, Glad to help, some days my kids will pitch some of this any ways so might as well go to a good home.

Joe Bell

That one did not work as well as one that had a set screw to adjust and hold in place, that style wondered under load that you have.

Joe Bell

Fun Day of T time!

Joe Bell

I just pulled one of those distributors that was down on where the timer goes, the ideal of grinding some off the cam shaft just did not do the trick on this one, the guy used teflon tape to try to hold the rotor tight from jumping time, it now has the upright distributor on it and running fine. wha...

Joe Bell

Give brent a call just handed him one thursday.

Joe Bell

They have both found homes locally, Thanks

Joe Bell

Have a 26-7 ruckstel, new axle, 13 tooth pinion gear looks brand new, looks like it has all been rebuilt, first 1500 will take it home. 419-618-1025 Tiffin Ohio

Joe Bell

I may have one, will look tomorrow.

Joe Bell

Looks like a good time!

Joe Bell

the two bumper emblems I had looked original and they where painted back ground.

Joe Bell

Thanks for finding adds of them back in the day!!

Joe Bell

advance the timer more towards the fan and see if that changes, who ever is making the anderson timers now, the timer rod is always into the fan belt to get them to run correctly.

Joe Bell

When I tore the axle down it looks like the first floating hubs made for a T.

Joe Bell

Clastiques has a material that is almost a match for original, I used it on my 26 and will use it on my 12.

Joe Bell

I have a rear T axle with Will Holl casted on the ends, was told it was for a tractor trailer T in the day, have no use for them and need to find a home for them, if interested give me a jingle and I will forward pictures. Thanks Joe Bell 419-618-1025 Tiffin Ohio

Joe Bell

I have three sets of 12 rivet housings, two are complete axle, no dive shafts, 200. take your pick. 419-618-1025 Joe Bell and no I will not ship them, they could make it to Hershey in the fall with me.

Joe Bell

I have several to look at already tore down give me a jingle Tiffin Ohio

Joe Bell

The one peddle does not have the cam to run the brake inside the transmission?

Joe Bell

We have 32 cars signed up so far and a week to go, looks like going to be a good trip!

Joe Bell

I hope he is not talking of band lining like the use in overhead cranes and older brake shoes, they have brass or copper strands in them, that is really bad on the babbitt.

Joe Bell

Tim, There is a form created for people to sign up with. It will be easier for us to keep track this way. Here is the form for the tour.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1uY_eJ6 ... FpGL-RiEUM

Joe Bell

I would rather have a large radius than a small one, less chance of breakage.

Joe Bell

Jack Putnam used the 290 in his Fordor and it fell on it's face in the hill climb, flat out it was great, but then there was not a high compression head on it?

Joe Bell

They do not do well in a Heavy sedan, much better in touring or roadster.

Joe Bell

I have a steering column for the 15-16, most do not know they are different, how long both levers are. Tiffin Ohio

Joe Bell

Tim, Last year we parked in the park out front of all the bars, others got to tour the island they had never seen, 1:00 is the Sunday car parade they tour the island and treat you very well before and after the tour, was an old tradition at Heinemens Winery is the 4 o'clock club where all the T's wo...

Joe Bell

Some one asked this question a while back so one guy that has put more miles on a T than anyone should have the answer? Dean Yoder has driven a T with all kinds of things done to the rods over the years and has found out no grooves work the best!!

Joe Bell

I saw the block today at a local machine shop he took care of mark in a cylinder since thy had it down, will let them post pictures.
