Re: Ruckstell shifts backwards?
Is the shift mechanism on the axle 90 degrees off. Was the shift lever placed incorrectly on the yoke? Do you have the early or later rear shift?

Re: Today made it all worth it
Congratulations Tim, the car looks great. Best of luck to you in the Michigan Jamboree. It is really fun, I went to Harris, Michigan a couple of years ago. It was a very nice group of people.

Re: Locomotion...
It was well worth going to see. UP is very professional and the locomotive is well restored. We saw it in Altoona, WI and went through the UP Experience Car. In May 2019 it ran for the first time in 61 years to the 150th anniversary of the Golden Spike with the UP 844.

Re: Where were you 50 years ago?
I was in Castro Valley, CA. I was getting ready to become a freshman at CVHS. My Dad was on the USS Hancock CVA 19 in the Gulf of Tonkin. I’m glad the moon landing was in black and white, our Admiral portable TV was too.

Re: space ship landing
Kodak had trouble with their process between 1952 and about 1960. My parents had a bunch of slides redone in the mid sixties, but since then their process has been flawless. Film was fun.

We need parts from Iola, Kansas. That is quite a place to visit and shop.

Re: Iola, adios.
The show is definitely changing, they are bringing in newer cars and ideas. Model T parts are becoming harder to find. It is hard to compete with the internet. I live close and bring cars so it is still fun and just costs me time. How do costs compare with Hersey? We did have three days without rain...

Re: Sharon Center parade
I should have told you Dad to go watch the parade. He lives off of 22 by Orange Ave. in Kalona. What did you drive Dean?

Re: Who stores their car with the top up?
I keep the top up, my doors are eight feet. Also one is a coupe so there is no top to fold down.

Re: Grease cup: OK to shorten the post?
Be careful about how much grease you pump in. You do not want to pump grease through the rear main into your oil pan and transmission. The grease will not act well with the bands. The cup puts in a measured amount of grease.
