Just one of these can be your friend.

Dressed up as Santa for the 4th of July parade and wished everyone 'Merry Christmas'. My rider stated the crowd loved it.

If the engine was built by a reputable engine rebuilder, the 4th main should be in the correct position when you accept delivery of the motor. I am assuming you are attempting to connect the rear axle to the engine. You will have to pull the 4th main back far enough to see where the hole is unless t...

Is there a difference between bibs and overalls?

Karen probably sent him out for bread and milk.

Snyder's states 'Out of Stock'.

Mike, You forgot to state that the day of the tour and the hill climb it was about 103 degrees out. The first day involved a tour to a nursing home, a national park where the first Homestead in the US is located, a country club for lunch, a barn made without nails and walls made of carved limestone,...

At the bottom right you will see 'Mark/unmark as important'. Click on that and you have the option to delete marked. Then click go.

Agree with Keith. I am in so please remind me in September.

I cannot think of any Model T in the Milwaukee club that sounds like that or shakes like that.
I am sure there is a club in Ohio that would be willing to have you join them on their next tour to see
how well their cars run.

Rob and I. Thumbs up

Looks like the size of a coffee cup with a cork in the bottom. If smaller it could be a salt shaker.
Like stated previously, no dimensions????

Gravel roads can be a bit dusty.

Clean those wheels off.

I believe it is always Boiled /linseed oil if you want it to dry.

For most people Homecoming is a weekend during the football season. It can be in High School or College. There is usually a parade, a king and queen are elected for a dance, etc. In high school there may be antics throughout the school starting 2-3 weeks before homecoming. Alumni in the band may be ...

Sorry to hear that. Best of luck getting everything put together for Lincoln.

Chad

Are you still planning on camping between Indiana and Nebraska?

Jerry,

If you are going, I am going. When do we start?

One of my triple gears lost a tooth. Adam Doleshal rebuilt the transmission for me. Mike Zahorik and others in the Milwaukee club helped me reinstall the transmission. Yesterday I finally finished all the little parts and took it for a trial run. It sounds better than it did before. modeltpiss.jpg I...

If anyone is going from Richmond to Rockville Speedster Rally after homecoming, I can get the package from Rockville to Nebraska.

Call the museum to tell them and they might be able to make a special spot for you to display it, and a place to park your trailer.

I will be going there after the Speedster Rally in Rockville, IN. You will have lots of time to tour the museum during the Reunion, but getting there a day early will give you time to really see it.

Did your wife have to dispatch a crew to check on the little one when it arrived? Although I would not be surprised if the TT was trained in basic life support and took care of the delivery himself.

My registration is IN.

Registration for OCF is June 2. Take a few pictures of your car and get ready to apply. They will fill up fast.

You got those flags in the 50's. Dealer probably is now 6 feet under.

Flags always fray at the windy edge. If you look at any flag used in an outdoor setting you will see that they have 3-4 seams on the edge. Get out your sewing machine, or ask mom, grandma, or big sister to sew a couple of seams on the end of your flags. They will last a lot longer. Use nylon thread,...

Maybe you want to install another front end and ditch that rear axle.

i think that is what the guy did here.

Let's see. We have been to breakfast every month. We have been to a play and lunch afterward. A gentleman gave our club a Model T he was working on for free. We found a man and 12 year old son that bought it from us. The club went out to his shop and put it together enough that he was able to drive ...

I just noticed that my two T's have different connections at the draglink/pitman arm connection.
Which is correct? Bolts and safety wire, or nut and lock washer?

Less than a week away now.

If you can, it is always best to send an old spoke to the person making new spokes for you. That way you know you will get the correct size.

If there are no pictures, it never happened.

Bob, I think you did a great job. I enjoyed watching your video. Hope you have a lot of fun with your car. Thank you.

Tow cars and trailers are usually left at the hotels.
Last year I parked a block away from the museum because my car broke down.
You can find parking within a couple blocks of the museum.

I know a couple of people that do not use a muffler. They just use a straight pipe and it works fine.

I looked up Ulysee speedometer on my phone. Does not appear to exist anymore or they changed the name.

You state it was not on an iphone and I cannot find it on a Droid.

It would be nice if people would state what phone they are using when they mention an app.

Less than 2 months away

Only about 6 weeks away.

I attached a piece of velcro to the back of my badge. The other piece of velcro is glued to the windshield. I can remove it if I want to, and no damage to the radiator.

You really should paint that red T black. It doesn't fit with the others.
Remember, once you have tried black, you will never go back.

Interesting. When I do it I have to continue a couple more steps than Mark does. After I click on the picture I want I have to open it. This places it in a box below the 'Add Files' box. Way over on the right if my picture was accepted you see a green status button. If it is yellow, it was not accep...

You know your son already owns that car even if it is your name on the title.
Better start looking for another car so you have one.

Sunday, April 6, and unfortunately it has slowed down again. My questions are why do we continue to use this company to host our forum? Is it the cheapest? Is it the only company left in the US that hosts this software? Do they offer any kind of support or do Chris and Jeff have to do it all?

Piquette currently has a promotion going on where you purchase a certain number of tickets and you can win a tour of Jay Leno's garage. I think they also have a promo where you can win a Bronco. Jay Leno will not necessarily be there and u have to get yourself to LA.

Our illustrious government has cancelled the 500,000 Challenge Grant the Piquette was expecting. Piquette is asking for assistance in finding other sources of revenue to replace the grant.

I know I used a CC. I never use Paypal
Just checked and Velle and Venmo do not work either.

Babbit is softer than steel so it should not harm the tube.

Bob is wondering what Doc Chicoine said. It could not have been something bad cuz doc is a swell guy.

That is a deal for somebody!

Thanks to the idiot that came up with tariffs I guess my next pair will be Universals. Wont match the Blockly's, but how many people in the 20's have 4 matching tires? Maybe that means my car will be more authentic with mismatched tires.

It has been a while. I tried with a driveshaft and broke the rivits off. Then I got a new torque tube and I think I bought a 1/2 steel pipe or rod and punched it out with that. The bushing was either babbit or steel. I should have tried a magnet on it for curiosity sake, but it was mighty hard and I...

You are aware that DeJoy, Postmaster General, just resigned, so a deputy PM is running the system.

I received both my Vintage Ford and Model T Times last week. I do not know if one is late or if
one is early. At least I always receive them.

That sounds great. Just be careful of those rivits inside the torque tube. I sheared some off one time removing the bushing and had to get another torque tube. Dime a dozen around here.

If you have a new driveshaft and a new U-joint, just throw the old one in the trash. Who cares if you cannot get the old U-joint off the now broken driveshaft. Just work with the new parts. You should have no problems with the new parts.

I would get a different U-joint. The one you have is compromised if it is that hard to get it off the driveshaft.

Steve. We have all done that. You can select one and delete it.

Maybe you missed it. It states $2500

John explains it perfectly. Tube, inflate a little, install flap, inflate a little more, then install on rim. Course I have it easy since I let Adam put my tires together on his tire machine, but that is how he does it.

2022 tour was Fond du Lac, 2023 tour was Baraboo. Does that help narrow it down?

The Hickman - Lauson - Diener Co started in 1909. They were previously the Hickman - Kraemer - Croll Co, and The Lauson CP & J Co. In 1909 they sold Ford, Cartercar, and R.A.C. automobiles.

No one was complaining. Just stating facts and asking if others are having the same issue.

I believe they use the F.A.S.T. rules, but I am not sure where you find them.

Charlie Yapp probably has them on a website somewhere or maybe someone will chime in.

They have different classes and your car will be put in one of those classes.

Today we had 20 members attend a play 'Drinking Habits' , at the local theatre about 2 nuns making wine at the convent and Mother Superior was unaware of it. A local reporter dressed up as a priest, then a nun, then the bishop to get the story. Then we all went to a local restaurant for and early di...

I wonder how many people have found much grease inside after they have separated the torque tube from the engine? Yes, the universal joint is greasy and the walls are greasy, but most of the rest of the space is just air. Ford only installed a grease cup there, not a zerk fitting. Even if you pump i...

The museum is also open for a lot of that time even though it is closed to the public. You could easily spend an entire day there.
Collections that are attractive to men, women, and children.

Bump to top

Off the top of my head, Thursday is the road tour, Friday is the Hill Climb, and Sat is Dyno testing. Banguet is Sat night and welcome dinner is wed or thurs nite???

You can call the museum and the person in charge will be more detailed. Probably works 9-5.

Best of luck to you Bob.

I will miss coming down to visit.

Picked up my rebuilt engine from Adam Doleshal. Now wait for some warm weather to install it. Picked up a Model T that a gentleman gave to our club and delivered it to a members garage. It is a 24?

It states $3 on the card. How well do they work?

So great to see someone else take a chance on a trip to OCF. Best car show ever. Next time you can bring a tent and pretend it is 1930. It is so much fun to really go on a journey to see what it was like in the day. Hope you can do it again. I also lost my muffler and Dallas Landers came to my rescu...

See you in Nebraska

Registration starts March 1st for the International Speedsters Trials and Reunion in Nebraska.

Unfortunately for me it has slowed down again. Jay is correct. Takes almost 60 seconds to load a page.

I know Jeff and Chris are working hard to fix this. Just letting them know of the issue here.

Schooner can be anywhere from 16 ounces to 32 ounces of beer.

I just purchased some non-demountable rims from Langs. Wonder if I need to drill the valve hole or if Stutzman will do that? Can I have these rims powder coated before I send them to Ohio?

Need at least one picture on here.

I see the HCCA now has digital memberships available for less than the cost of normal memberships. You would not have to wonder when you receive your magazine in the mail.

Then ask more questions.

I know of only 3 Hill Climbs, but I am sure there are more.

1. Newport Hill Climb, Indiana
2. International Speedsters Trials and Reunion, Nebraska
3. Hill Climb somewhere in Iowa, contact Birdhaven for location

Langs does have non-demountable rims in stock for those wood felloed wheels.
