Any chance of a video on youtube?

If you are concerned about $50 on an $850 radiator, you have a problem.

Richard. Large print means you are shouting. It is also harder to read. You have a valid reason for using large printing due to your eyesight. Thank you for telling us why. Continue to do what you are doing.

I heard he was the centerfold.

Hopefully this works. Here is one of the early 1900 racers on the Milwaukee Mile, summer of 2019.

Many thanks to Rob and Bruce for giving me this ride.

The instructions state to grind down the woodruff key so the top is only 3/4 inch long. This also removes a chunk of the key that fits in the slot in the drive shaft. This is so the key does not rub on the face of the bearing itself. IMG_20191230_161631743.jpg IMG_20191224_160526494.jpg It would app...

I would purchase new points and ask the club to help you redo your coils, or send them to Ron Patterson or Brent Mize. Remember to include a note that the coils have new capacitors. Do you know which capacitors were installed?

Thank you Chris!

Thank you Mark. Good example. There should be oil stains on that cardboard if it relates to a Model T.

Matt, You have a good discussion about gas above and I would like to ask you a question. In the past we added a bottle (16oz) of HEAT to a tank of gas to absorb the water that might get in the gasoline in the winter. Now the gas is 10% alcohol, so it should absorb water in the tank. Do you know how ...

Steve,
That might be because Sam is not the best speller, and does not use punctuation.

Apparently not written for a droid. Bummer.

Easiest way is to get the picture on your desktop. Then go to the bottom of your post and click on attachments. Add file. Then put inline. Once you have done it , you will know it.

I have heard Dave Huson is one of the guys to meet but he is farther north near Estes Park.

Hey Jeff,

The apps do have names under them - must be author. You said yours has a trip recorder and that is what I would like to have. Speed is secondary. If and when you have time, maybe you can find that info. Thank you.

Personally I think I might go with the hack if I was just starting out. It looks to be in better shape and it is (I assume) drivable. This would get you in to the hobby and you can find out if you really like it. My biggest concern is if that top is to low I would hit my head on it - looks pretty cl...

I found 27 speedometer apps on my droid and that is just the first search. Which one do I use?

There is no Momma, so he can cook whatever he wants. Inside or out.

No, this one will just keep on trucking along.

Big brother is watching!

How about this one Mark. Took it off my 1920 Touring.
Just brought it in from the garage, so glass is foggy.

I got to speak to Bruce for a while, had a good conversation with Ron Patterson, met John Regan, Stan, Russ, and a number of other people. Had a great time and weather was good.

Modern Polo car racing on the lake. Tod Wirth took first place.

I looked at Bruce's Encyclopedia, but I do not see them. Where are they located? Thank you.

You could share some of that snow. All we have is rain.

Very nice photos. Thank you.

Andre, that ring looks super. Did you get a ride on the cycle?

Yes, but he must be busy putting up his xmas tree.

Hallmark learned their lesson. When do I get a piece of cake.

Merry Christmas.

Michael, looks like you need new tops on those, too.

Per post in facebook. Jerry is driving a different Model T this week. Good for you Jerry. The Model T involved in the accident will be repaired and put back on the road. Good news for Christmas.

Minnesota

You can google street signs. Do you need it three dimensional? I do not think any Model T vendor carries these.

It still would be nice to know if both cars were in the same lane, were they in adjacent lanes, was one turning, etc? Was no one there to see it?

It makes you wonder how many are active members. My phone and computer automatically sign me in. I dont have to remember a password. It is also nice to know who is posting. You get to learn whose id belongs to a person except for Dallas. It is obviously who he is because he uses his complete name. I...

Vern Campbell was the man producing those mufflers. He has passed away. Nice to hear Bill has some in stock.

Still wondering if anyone was there that can tell us what happened.

Mine is similar. The opening is 3" x 7".

I see Edsel put the brake lever forward before he started the car. I understand others do it differently. Nice video.

It is on facebook so I cannot post it here. Maybe others can.
Jerry King was sent to hospital, but no one was badly hurt.

Would like to know cause if anyone can educate us so as to prevent future accidents.

You can buy loom by the foot.

Kevin, can you post a photo of your carburetor?

They have a Woodcraft in Birmingham and a couple next door in Atlanta.

Thats a pile of horse manure.

I can't look those prices up. I already used all the pages in my Sears catalog. Does anyone have an extra?

https://www.woodcraft.com/blog_entries/tft-frequently-asked-questions When I re-spoked my wheels, I gave my old spokes to Woodcraft. They were very pleased to receive them so they could turn them into pens for troops. I did not have a lathe at that time so I could not turn any pens myself. Now that ...

Perhaps I need to buy a red union suit?

I was aware of the groove and we were almost perfect where it was placed. The groove is not 1/4 inch so when you drill the hole you will have some metal that you need to remove from drilling. By drilling only 3/16 inch I had less metal to remove. I did not have a reamer so I used 600 grit paper. Fee...

I purchased a car that looks very nice. It was sold as being owned by a master mechanic. The man was deceased. The first tour I went on the engine seized. When we took it apart the pistons looked like someone had filed them so they would fit in the block. I needed a complete rebuild. What I am tryin...

You dont need to be a member to sign in. It would be nice to know who is online. Is the problem the sign up process? It is great to see all the interest.

That costumed character looks like the Krampus. Stay away!

3/16th worked fine. Thanks Hank.

The book states 1/4 inch for hole that I have to drill through bushing. I am thinking 3/16 inch would be sufficient. Your thoughts.

Boy I miss those days. Maybe I better grab a rope and my Flexible Flyer and head on over. The snow missed us.

There might be an inch here in Central Wisconsin. Glad we can forward all that snow to NE Indiana and Michigan. My mother always told me to share.

Mr Martin. To add a photo you need to reply to a message, so click on 'Post Reply'. On the bottom of the page you see 'Attachments'. Click on that. Then you will see 'Add Files'. Click on that and upload your pictures. The most you can add is 5 per post. Hope that helps.

You can always purchase cork to place under the straps. It is available at Hobby Lobby, Michaels, etc. Or you can cut strips of rubber from an old inner tube and use that,too. I think the rubber would be better and less likely to fall apart. Anything to keep the metal strap from rubbing against the ...

Are their instructions anywhere for installing AC brakes?

Here you go Wayne.

$100-$125. Wheel bolts to triangle. Left side of picture bolts to mounts under rear spring. 26-27 has longer spring mounts to hold this carrier.

Nothing on facebook or others I know on facebook. Hopefully it is a false alarm.

Can it be repaired or am I better off looking for another housing? I thought I did it right with a 3/4inch pipe and a socket to get the bushing out. It appears the socket was too big and it knocked off the rivits inside the housing. OOps. Suggestions welcome since I screwed up.

I wonder if it will still turn over? Might have the start of something here.

I have never seen rear floorboards that come in two sections like that.

I know the next time I see Steve, I will not suggest we go eat anyplace that has Mexican food. And we are not buying food at Walmart and eating it in the parking lot.

What year was the first year without a driver door?

Rich's dad.

Now available to order. Sent in my order today.

I hope you can watch this. Takes about 10 minutes.

Just a followup. I have not heard from Mr. Boggess. There is an H.P.Cody in Ripon WI, but he was owner of Ripon Knitting Works. I put in a call to the local historical society and await their response. I did contact Bergstrom Ford and they informed me they have not been around that long. No connecti...

Mark, try to imagine a small child in a Speedster. As long as they can sit still, but then that is only down the block at a very slow speed. You at least have sides in your car.

Are you putting the Fordor out to pasture?

Then this post belongs on the Parts forum, since it is an accessory.

Looks like a very good car for the price.

One less forum to look at. Has only had 1 post in the last 6 months.

I have never found them available anywhere.

Did anyone take a picture? Did anyone like it? I would like to know what it is. Thank you

HeyBud. I would like to see your post on the Model A if you dont mind. Might be interesting. I never use that OT section anyway.

My friend Dick Lodge. Do you have a fear of a friend passing? If I post with a title of 'Re: Dick Lodge', would you glance at your hand to see if you are still with us? I understand your posting about titles. A lot of titles about many topics could be better written. I wont pick on any in particular...

Hey guys. I am not planning a tour here. Certainly not like most tours where you have a host hotel that you come back to every night. I have never seen much of the UP, but I always hear stories about how great it is up there. .....................So I was thinking out loud that I would like to drive...

Did they ever have a tool to remove the outer axle housing cap?

When I shift from low to high, I do it slowly so I can feel the change. Like Norm says, do not pop it. Once you feel it grab in high, then advance the throttle. The more you drive it the more you will get a feel for your car. Get in another one, and it will be completely different. They are not all ...

Would not a chassis be defined as a complete car that is just missing a body? Frame, axles, wheels, and motor.

The Michigan Jamboree was in Sioux St Marie this summer. I do not think they want to go back to the UP so soon, but good idea.

Found 3 campgrounds starting at Crivitz, then Iron Mountain, then Houghton. Tent and RV sites, and hot showers. After OCF might be a bit chilly. When do the skeeters die off up there?

If I remember correctly, my set of master keys do not have slots. They look like they were punched out on a press. Flat on both sides.

Obviously had it cleaned and those two fantastic Brits are there as well.

Kingsford and Iron Mountain are adjacent cities. Thats where charcoal and wood came from to make your Model T.

I am thinking of touring up through Crivitz and up to Iron Mountain and the north next summer. Maybe all the way to Copper Harbor. You could join me for a jaunt or tell me what is there to see. Should be a nice Model T drive. my e-mail is dlhort1955@juno.com

Harold, if you go to the facebook page you will probably find more activity. Easier to post over there.

Just go to bottom of page. Click attachments. Add file. Then you can include a photo. That might be a T key, but not worth much.

Seth is gone, Hap, Mike, and Chaffins are still here. You must be reading the wrong posts.

They added an inch or two of foam under my seat as well. You would never know it was there and it does make the seat a bit higher. I do not know if memory foam is the best type. I would suggest calling Classtique or going to a local upholstery shop and ask what they would do. I believe you were goin...

Probably out harvesting corn, or making a snowman.

The wheel is suppose to be firmly attached to the axle so they turn together. If they are not attached to each other the axle will spin and the wheel does not move. The key and the nut hold the wheel and axle together so they essentially become one. The nut can loosen and then the axle turns inside ...

Jesse

The wheel will spin around the axle damaging both the hub and the axle.

Think I will just plan on a different tour next year. I was trying to see if it conflicts with OCF.

Labor Day is late this year, the 7th. So is hillbilly before that?

Larry. Perhaps you can enlighten us a little about the new tool that was used on your coils? I understand some people cannot discuss it. Thank you.

Dates please. Location if it is known. Thank you.
