Pulled out the rear end and drive shaft for a first-time rebuild.

GEmering

Yes they did!
What eye candy.
What is the make and model of the big car (bottom left) in the photo marked C16170?
I like it!

Gene

GEmering

What a thrill!
Wonderful to see such an early T back on the road!

Thank you MTFCA

GEmering

Dan,
I was looking for a cheap one that was maybe not needed any longer.
I will probably use it 3 or 4 times in my lifetime.

Gene

GEmering

The title says it all.
Does anyone have an extra exhaust pack nut wrench in good condition they would sell?

Thank you,
Gene

GEmering

Happy Birthday Darel!
I hope you have a wonderful day.
How about a photo of the 1910 T with you at the wheel!

Gene

GEmering

Thank you Kim!
I will send an email.

Gene

GEmering

Adam,
You are correct.
Unfortunately, I need them.

GEmering

Good idea Hank.
I was thinking about contacting Kim if none show up.
I missed a pair on here last summer.
I wasn't sure how many pairs might be out there on shelves etc.
My father-in-law is a retired machinist that still dabbles now and then.
He'd help me make a pair if we had a template.

Gene

GEmering

Back to the top of the list.
Anyone?

GEmering

Kim,
Like candy in front of a baby.
lol

GEmering

Still looking for a pair of these for my 1913 Touring.

Gene

GEmering

Back to the top and still looking.

GEmering

I noticed that over 300 members looked at this thread and no comments.
I was hoping to get a lesson on early Ts regarding what's original and what's not.
Maybe a lot more photos needed?
No interest other than that.

Gene

GEmering

Steve,
Thanks for looking!

GEmering

I would like to find an original and correct bezel in good condition as pictured.
As you can see from the second photo my car is missing this item.

GEmering

Great news!

GEmering

John, Ed Fuller's post (above) enlightened me as to why the brass covers on the interior side of the hinge would not screw or turn off. Answer - They're covers that just pull off revealing a nut that can be loosened. A couple turns of the nut with a 19/32 wrench and we're now in business! Thanks aga...

GEmering

I was trying to spin that cover off.
Duh!

Thanks Ed!

GEmering

Ed,
Good advice if need be.
I was considering that very thing if I couldn't get things freed up.

Thanks,
Gene

GEmering

Thank you Steve and John.

What I’ve learned trying to get the upper windshield frame to raise on my 1913 Ford Touring. 1) I am not too bright 2) I am not that smart 3) I don’t have any idea what I’m doing I have repeatedly soaked the hinges with creeping oil. I tried to turn the slotted bolts on the outside of the hinges on ...

GEmering

Thank you for the great advice, Dan and Tim!

Hey Tim,
You collect and restore phonographs, yes?
I collected and restored antique phonographs for 30+ years before getting interested in Model Ts.

Gene

GEmering

Should the #9 raven wood screws that are used to mount the speedometer to the firewall be strong enough to hold this clock?

Thank you,
Gene

GEmering

Got it with this.

GEmering

What do I use to remove what looks like a flat square head set screw?
Unless the slotted head is broken off???

GEmering

Thank you Hank and Tim.

GEmering

Can someone let me know if this clock comes apart for mounting?
I’m guessing that the base can be pried off and I’m not missing a mounting bracket.
I would rather ask first before doing damage.

GEmering

Sold
Thank you MTFCA

GEmering

Count me in too!

GEmering

An even lower price!

GEmering

Back to the top with a lower price.

GEmering

Thank you Rich and Larry.

GEmering

These two bolts of material were wrapped up and in the backseat of the ‘13 Touring I purchased last summer.
There was a piece of masking tape marked 1915 Touring on one of the two pieces.
I hope the two photos with the tape measure help identify these.

Wanted for my July '13 Touring - Stewart & Clark Model C Speedometer

Thank you,
Gene

GEmering

From what I've read the correct speedometer head for my July '13 Touring would be a Stewart and Clark Model C.
Is the head marked Model C anywhere?

I've seen a number of the earlier Model 26 heads but have not seen a Model C up close.

Thank you,

Gene

GEmering

Great footage and very enjoyable. A wonderful glimpse into days gone by. This is just a curiosity question and may be somewhat rhetorical. I wonder if the brass car hobby in 1971 was more accessible to the middle class than it is today? When I look at the prices of the brass cars listed on the Horse...

GEmering

Thanks RV!
I’ll do the same.

A generous MTFCA member found the carbide tank pictured and sold it to me after going through it. I got the carbide tank attaching bolt kit from Lang’s but the square at the top of the neck of the bolts does not pass through the square holes in the base of the tank. In other words the bolts do not s...

GEmering

Great job Bill! You should be very proud of your work. You will not find anyone in this hobby more honest or more willing to help others, especially those who are new to old cars, than Hank. He has quietly helped me and others that I know of numerous times with parts, tools, and advice. I only wish ...

GEmering

Thank you Tim and Susanne.

GEmering

What is the best way to attach the data plate (smaller version) to the firewall?
I assume that mine is a reproduction as it is not stamped?

It has 4 small holes in the corners but is it easier to attach with double-sided tape?

Thank you experts.

Stay safe!
Gene

GEmering

Thank you John

GEmering

Once working well, is it necessary to loosen/tighten with a screwdriver when changing position from up to down or visa versa?
Or does that larger nut (for lack of a better term) on the inside loosen and tighten the windshield?

Thank you, John and Scott, for the other valuable tips.

Gene

GEmering

Here’s the NJ plate that will go on my ‘24 Touring

GEmering

Dang sideways photos!
Click on them to orient correctly.

GEmering

I have not tried to raise the upper windshield on the 1913 Touring that I purchased last summer.
I’ve oiled the hinges with Kroil and let them sit for a few days.
Does anyone out there have a similar set up?
I do not want to force anything.

Thank you,
Gene

GEmering

Ditto
Beautiful!

GEmering

I saw a cardboard sign inside a T that was part of a small local gathering that read:

1915 Model T Ford
Loved By/Hated By
(Owner's name)

I thought that about summed it up.

It looks like a great time.
Enjoy the rides!

I am looking for a very good 30 X 3.5 non-demountable rim (no pitting, warping, or sharp edges) and a center hub that I can use to have a new rear wheel built for a 1913 Touring.
I would also consider an entire rear wheel.

I am missing three screws that secure the metal garnish molding trim pieces to the top of the doors as pictured on my 1913 Touring.
I’d like to find original screws if possible.
If not, do the venders sell correct size repros?

Bob, Thanks for the reply and photo. I have the same tank (I should've written "round" and not oval. A previous owner did the same thing to my seat platform so I'll have to address that at some point. My tank is back in and all tightened down. I had to loosen the straps temporarily on both ends and ...

Thanks Scott.
I meant round.
Past my bedtime of 9:30 lol.

Thanks again,

I removed and cleaned the oval gas tank from my 1913 Touring. The old hardware was mismatched so I got new bolts, castellated nuts, and cotter pins. Do the bolts push into the brackets from the bottom or down from the top? Seems like down from the top with the castellated nuts exposed would make it ...

This single bow was mixed in with the set of four that came with my 1913 Touring.

Thanks to anyone who can help!

What a wonderful vehicle.
I wonder what's under the hood?
It can't be 20 hp, can it?

My wife’s nieces were waiting for me to come home from work to sit in the ‘13 and then take a drive in the ‘24.

I would like to rebuild the carb on my 1924 Touring.
The carburetor is a Duplex Improved manufactured by Simmons.
I would like to find and buy a new needle and seat.
Can anyone help point me in the right direction?
Langs does not have.

If I do all of that, when will I have time to drive?

I meant to post here and not the classifieds:
I have a Duplex Improved Carburetor on my 1924 Ford Touring.
It seems to supply good power but being fairly new to Model Ts have no basis of comparison.
Just wondering what others who have this brand think of this carburetor.
