Thanks to everyone who posted such fond memories of him. He suffered with cancer for 19 years and it finally won. Miss him with all of my heart and am so glad he had so many wonderful friends that knew him and appreciated him. He enjoyed all of the Model T activities and had many fond memories of th...

We had trouble with a sinking float last year so i bought a totaly rebuilt carb!! I hope my oldest grandson will instal it this spring. My days are close to being numbered so good by to many friends!!! Bud DeLong.

Bud Delong

:oops: Sorry to hear it. The 14 i have came from Houghton Lake and was used to go on gas lite tours with Pinky. Many years ago we were in Coty WY and i spotted more old Chevys than i thought existed so we followed and there was Pinky in a Little the foruner to the Chevy. I also met a fellow from Cal...

Bud Delong

Sorry to hear that! RV was a nice easy to talk to fellow!!! Bud.

Bud Delong

There are some who say you are lucky if you never find one!!!! Bud.

Bud Delong

For all you do i say thank you!!! Bud

Bud Delong

Our family had a fordson way before my time but i have spent many hours on a buzz rig!!!! Bud.

Bud Delong

Those were the days!!! On our 90 acre farm there was a small orchard and after a good washing of the inside we would load our barrel in the 51 Ford pick up! Then we would drive to the orchard and fill the truck box with apples! The extra apples payed for the cider mill to fill our barrel with cider!...

Bud Delong

Thank you Rob for the look back!!!! Bud.

Bud Delong

Rob, The 06 K by the tree one picture has a top while the other doesn't. Thanks Bud.

Bud Delong

David, 2016 was our last year there as with the changes of 2017 we would not attend.

Sorry to hear the same mindset seems to still be in force. My thanks to all trying to carry on!!!!

Bud.

Bud Delong

Time for the traffic jam!!! Has anyone seen Rob with his racer??? Bud.

Bud Delong

Dallas the truck look's GREAT!! Bud.

Bud Delong

About 20 years ago i contacted a major supplier of act gas here and they had me contact a place that filled tanks by Port Huron! I was told they would not sell me any but to bring what ever sized container i wanted and they would fill it!!! I took a 4 qt thermous cooler and it was filled free.. abou...

Bud Delong

Many years ago i saw i think a 25 coup body on a model A chassis with a V-8 60 hp!!! Bud.

Bud Delong

I haven't looked at my collection of the Ford Times in years, but was the stoppage a overseas thing??? Bud

Bud Delong

More usable power!!! Bud.

Bud Delong

Good on ya Rob!!!! Bud.

Bud Delong

Thank you for your kind words Joe!! Bud.

Bud Delong

Watching the history channel and i wonder if anyone ever checks their work/facts??? They are telling in 1926 Ford to compete cut his prices then they show brass T's with acct lights?? Talking about the future with the model 70 Chrysler with it's high compression engine and showing a model A engine??...

Bud Delong

One of a kind!! Sorry to hear that!! Bud.

Bud Delong

Anyone know if the placement was the same for all body MFG's??? Bud.

Bud Delong

Going cheap may very well be a higher cost in the end!! Bud.

Bud Delong

Last weekend we went with friends to a tractor swap meet and hauled a golf cart on a single axel trailer! Yes a tire blew out and because of no weight we made it home safely with no dammage other than the tire. The rig was not mine and i do not believe in a single axel! Bud.

Bud Delong

I have seen the wood trim and it looks very nice!!! Bud.

Bud Delong

I think that fellow died several years ago??? Bud.

Bud Delong

Once started i advance the spark until the engine speeds up [most of the way down] and i leave it there. All those positions are bs to my way of thinking?? Bud.

Bud Delong

I like the cradle Steve made for his jack to lift the rear axel!!! The oldest grandson had our's out once but i see i have a stuck float?? Bud.

Bud Delong

Not all of them shake and vibrate. The Best side mirror is the heavy, expensive, rectangular one but they are expensive!!! Bud.

Bud Delong

What could go wrong??? Bud.

Bud Delong

When i bought our 14 it had a short v w 6 volt under the rear seat. There was a hole in the seat riser and a small frame to hold the battery. Looking at [The Pattern Car] it had the same hole in the same spot? I now use a garden tractor 12 volt and i drilled a hole in the floor pan and used rubber h...

Bud Delong

As per title, [Henry throw's a fit] I think the famous fit was when Henry came back from the other side of the pond and found the car that was to replace the early Model T!!! A well written story on this is in Tin Lizzie by Stern!!! Bud.

Bud Delong

Spark plugs changed. Bud.

Bud Delong

Our dads, the preacher, i , and Gordie Yoder saw them in 1958 or 9!!! Bud.

Bud Delong

I like the fact a Model T will sometimes start when you turn the switch on and the buzzing coils!! Bud.

Bud Delong

I also use Wenol as it leaves a wax coating but if you have ever seen Tim's 13 follow his advise!! Bud.

Bud Delong

Thanks for your comments guys and Dallas i did not go along. Joe, It has been a good smooth engine. Bud.

Bud Delong

Yesterday the oldest grandson got the Model A out and today he coaxed the 14 back to life!! I kind of blurebled and weezed but when he pulled the spark all the way down she sounded sweet!!! Happy Bud.

Bud Delong

To tell the truth the country was not ready for electric cars then and in many used maybe still not now!! In the middle teen's if you had power you live in town or had a light plant! Bud.

Bud Delong

Thank you!! Sleeply Eye Min reminded me of Tom Whitt who was in the army in Germany so long ago!! Bud.

Bud Delong

Allen i bought two new pair for church and i have only worn Round House for many years!! The cutting is because im short!! Bud.

Bud Delong

Two new pair of Roundhouse came yesterday and they need to be washed a couple of times before the Wife cuts and hem's them! Very Heavy!!! Bud.

Bud Delong

I think the trouble with the Dodge Brothers was after they sued Ford about the royality's un payed when Ford wanted to use the money to build a tractor plant?? I think the Dodge Brothers were dead before Ford bought off their Widows?? Bud.

Bud Delong

I remember reading Ford bought a foundry to make Vandume spelling optional steel.

Bud.

Bud Delong

Thank you Rob, I like the facts of the deal!! Bud.

Bud Delong

I would like to have a 1966 Mustang convert like i bought new and lost!!!

Bud Delong

There was one at the press release for the 2003 tour from Calf to Dearborn. Ford flew the couple that started the idea for a tour back to Ford and at the Proving Ground's many invited model T's and several Ford suits!! Very nice feed and i got to meat GZ!! Bud.

Bud Delong

I forget the name but i think the builder of the first horseless carriage built in Detroit must have impressed him?? Bud.

Bud Delong

Thank you for the pictures!! Bud.

Bud Delong

I think i started wearing bibbs in 2004 because of radiation and i wore several brands. A friend wore Roundhouse because of the USA made and far better quality. No exact date when i switched to Roundhouse but i never looked back! I wear bibb's every day of my life!! Bud.

Bud Delong

Mine are all old and well worn so i have two new pair on the way

I will save them for church!!

Bud.

Bud Delong

Are the hickory stripe for formal wear such as weddings and funerals?? Bud.

Bud Delong

I may look for Roundhouse Bibbs but i think i have enough pairs to last me. Since about 2004 Bibbs are all i ware.

Bud.

Bud Delong

I don't know what was used on mine or when but when i removed a plaque on the dash it was a very bright red under it. I can only speak for the last 25 years but now my dash is blond?? Bud.

Bud Delong

If one want's many improvements instead of buying a true car why not buy one already changed to your liking?? Bud.

Bud Delong

Often told how weak the rear axel was but??? Also a left hand plow! Bud.

Bud Delong

The color changes with the sun. New is almost bright red and old is blond!! Bud.

Bud Delong

Ford kept good records and a lot of knowledge was passed through the reminiscse of the fifty's before many of those passed!!! It is all there for any to read and also hear if one put's forth the effort!!!

Bud.

Bud Delong

We went to Clare Mi Monday Amish shopping and one buggy had turn signals!! Soon the Amish bakery will open and their doughnuts are the best!! Bud.

Bud Delong

At the time there were hundreds of makes and how many exist even into the twenty's?? The T was the right car at the right time! Bud.

Bud Delong

WOW!!!! Thank You for the many pictures!!! Bud.

Bud Delong

30x31/2 all around.Bud.

Bud Delong

I wonder what brand/make of head that is and what about oil to the rockers?? I'll bet it goes like stink!!! Bud.

Bud Delong

Thank you Steve for the pictures!! Bud.

Bud Delong

There were two TT's on the farm long ago and 60 years years ago there was a 32x6 new tire in the straw mow for one of the tt's.Bud.

Bud Delong

Are the side pans on your car?? I pulled the sheet metal cover off the lower dash and you would be amazed at the air flow and cooling.

Bud.

Bud Delong

Thank you Rob!!!

Bud.

Bud Delong

Are we talking the one with the wicker covered body?? Neat car and a nice owner we meet many years ago at the OCF!!

Bud.

Bud Delong

That AA wrecker looks nice!!! Please everyone take many pictures!! I hope you have a good meet everyone!! Bud.

Bud Delong

Great!!! Bud.

Bud Delong

Is the second picture from last a Ford racer driven by Frank Kulick??? Bud.

Bud Delong

Steve, don't get worked up and go slow you will fin it! Was either the head or block decked? Is your valve train loose?? Bud.

Bud Delong

I really don't know that Henry disliked a six as the model K and 6 cyl racers built Ford. I do know after the K and 6 cyl racers it was a very long time until Ford made a six again??? My saying Frank looked like a Double clutching weasel was a trucking name for a driver and not a negative term!! Bud...

Bud Delong

There is no binder in a combine!!!

Bud.

Bud Delong

Henry was young, Clara was a looker, and Frank looked like the org double clutching weasel!!!

Bud.

Bud Delong

Thank you for the pictures!! Bud.

Bud Delong

Do i see wings on the radiator?? Bud.

Bud Delong

Steve, it looks very handy as a pre wash!! I think i will also get one but where is it made?? Bud.

Bud Delong

Susan the very early Fords and i think the first 2500 model T's had a winged script?? Bud.

Bud Delong

Bill no the baffles make them hard to clean. After the milk is tested and your told when to dump you drop the milk. After the tank is empty the reciveing crew will insert a automatic washer in the manhole on top and tanks are washed with steam and hot water. I hauled milk for a few months!! Bud.

Bud Delong

Which Ford script was Willis involved with?? My guess it was the Winged Ford script?? Bud.

Bud Delong

Wayne, Milk trailers are the worst as they have no baffles!! In trucking they call them Smooth Boors!! Bud.

Bud Delong

The stile and the wheels remind me of the Marmon Wasp!! Bud.

Bud Delong

Rob, that speedster looks to be a real scorcher!! Bud.

Bud Delong

At 82 cents a mile you might what you pay for? Bud.

Bud Delong

I can see a few small pigs but it looks too short for cattle?? Bud

Bud Delong

Thank you for the great pictures!! Bud.

Bud Delong

Our trailer is 8/6X 18 ft so i have never had any trouble! The extra wide was also nice when hauling it behind the 5'th wheel to the OCF because it was easy to spot way back there!! I wonder if the OCF will ever come back?? Bud.

Bud Delong

Watching the cars that América great really po's me because so often facts are wrong! If your making a documentary film why not use the right facts and if you picture a car at least make it the right year!!!!

Bud.

Bud Delong

I think usually the trouble with gas is the condition of the tanks at the station?? Up north in the winter you can have trouble but if you get bad gas it will show up quickly and you will know where you bought it!! Down south you can go until you hit freezing before you might spot poor quality fuel!...

Bud Delong

About 20 years ago!! Bud.

Bud Delong

This story of the owners and the garage man remind me of the old book Dim Thunder!! Thank you Sir!!! Bud.

Bud Delong

Wow!!! Thanks ever so much!!! Bud. Member of the two piece club!

Bud Delong

I like the brass radiator and the coils! Bud.

Bud Delong

The Thomas car was very high quality but with a crash box trans??? I think there were many planetary trans of the time but Ford was the best to handle the power of the racer?? Thank you sir!! Bud.

Bud Delong

I really enjoy reading these stories!! Bud.

Bud Delong

I still use my very old Lincoln bought new in1977.The duty cycle is not very strong but when i had equipment it gave good service! If your doing welding as a lark why pay a ton of money for something you may quickly put aside?? Bud
