Went to Panama City beach Pier Park and found this restaurant licensed by the Ford Motor Company.
The food was Great!

1909-10 Cylinder head with an old but nice repair. There are 4, approximately 1/8”, holes that will need to be filled. Will make a nice head. Very hard to find. $500 can deliver to Hershey if paid in advance. PayPal friends and family will work for me.

Thanks Tim, just let me know.

Tourabout

Still looking for one or two of these.

Tourabout

Can anyone tell me what these headlights go to. They are almost 8 inches wide and are all brass. Looks like there are two screws on the bonnet but no name plate.

Tourabout

Has anyone got two of these they would want to sell? There is a male and a female and when the top sockets are down they nest together as in the picture.
I need two males.

I’ve been wanting see that movie.

One of my kids told me they watched that movie at the YMCA summer camp and I asked her “Did you tell your friends that you have a car just like that?” She just looked at me and said “no”
I said “why not” she said “Ours don’t fly...”
I thought to myself “oh well” what can you do?

On the base of the transmission tail shaft, Is the year the bottom number or the right side number?
One looks like it may be 6-10-09 or 6-09-10?
The other one I am not sure at all as the right side number has three digits?

I don’t have tictok but I could still watch it.
Think they had problem with alignment?

Now it makes sense.
Thanks!!

I don’t think I have ever used a tool like that one. How does it work???

Allan,
Here is another view.

Makes sense,
Engine is a July 1913.

Allan,
Which Windshield does this one take? 13 or 14?

Not sure why I can’t post a picture??

George, This one may be homemade. Looks like the switch housing has a tab on each side and someone Bradded a band one side and used a small screw and tap on the other side to mount to column. It’s interesting on the back of the switch it reads: “The General Phonograph Manufacturing Co.” “Eliria Ohio...

I had one in the original wooden crate. It had a small gas tank to get the Model T started before switching it over to kerosene. It also had a 1/8” steel spacer shaped like a head gasket that you placed between two head gaskets to lessen the compression in order to run on kerosene.

What’s up with that carbide generator?
Looks like it has the open bell horn with the separate cover attached.

Tourabout

I saw where the post card was listed on EBay.
It would be interesting to see if the family could be traced to present day. Chute doesn’t sound like a common name. Ella and Edgar could also be Clutes.

Hello GGZ: I need some parts too. Are your parts compatible with model X and Y?

Didn’t quite expect to see this Leg at Chickasha, especially at 50 ft tall, but here it is. You can see the south building in the background and you can also see the Leg from the fairgrounds.

Pasco wheels are very similar to Dayton but the upsets are inside the wheel center instead of the outside.

Neal,
You could measure the height of the car on Jack stands and then subtract the distance from the bottom of the tires to the floor.

It may actually be a 5 digit, that first digit may be a 6 on the left side of the dash (-)?

I should have noted, he dug this up out of the ground.

Is this the overall length of the steering column? Does this mean I could take a later steering shaft and shorten it 6 inches and it would be correct for a 1909-10 column?

Tourabout

Can anyone tell me the total length of the 1909-10 steering shaft that the pitman arm mounts to?

Tourabout

I saw that, however, it is a repro but probably correct. The shank of the key is 1/4” but I think they made a smaller one, maybe 3/16” also. I have a faceplate for the smaller one. RV Anderson was against reaming the hole out to 1/4”, maybe because it is an original.

Can anyone tell me if one of these keys will fit a 1910 Jacobson Brandow coilbox switch?
I was thinking the blade went the whole length of the key?

I am curious as to what you paid for the 1910?
I used to work with a, retired but still working, guy who told me he’s bought T Models for $10 and $15 and drove them home.

You made me count twice

Tourabout

That could work especially for fitment of the reverse disc because it makes contact with the taper of the pulley.
The original pulley was 3” diameter and this one isn’t that far off especially with it being adjustable.

Tourabout

I think this one is close but will have to get a measurement to be sure.

Tourabout

The pulley on the engine has two grooves, the groove closest to the engine is cut so that the reverser disc will mesh inside it and cause it to turn in the opposite direction. The outer groove is adjustable and takes a 3/8” wide belt which drives the pulley the reverser disc is mounted to. I found a...

No luck so far.
Anybody know which snapper mowers share some of the same parts?

Has anyone ever heard of Hobbs Wind wings dated 1923? I have a set but haven’t been able to find out much about them. I don’t have them handy to take a picture right now. Maybe someone else has or knows something about them.
