My first time at Chickasha was 2010 where I first my future love Lizzy a 1926 Touring. My son David went with me and I told him this could be a yearly event for me and it was. We looked at all the old parts then we went into the north building and I was surprised at all the new parts, you would have...

Steve I'm sorry that you won't be able to go to Chickasha this year. You just get better and stronger so you can make it next year. I hope you can get the 15 Roadster fixed and running again. Take care and see you at Chickasha next year.

OK Thanks a lot for telling an old dummy guys. I always learn something on this forum.

OK I'm not very bright. What is soluable oil?

Do you use cutting oil when reaming bronze bushings or can you ream them dry?

HAPPY NEW YEAR

That's great, thank you.

I was wondering if you could also make one for positive ground for us that also have Model A.

MERRY CHRISTMAS Steve and have a HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Steve I'm glad to see you are getting better. You gave not only me but the whole Model T community world a scare with your backset. Keep on getting better and I hope to see you at Chickasha.

Merry Christmas Steve, see you at Chickasha.

Right now Daniel is making the AC brakes for the small drum. I don't know if he will produce brakes for the large drums or not. I will ask him the next time I see him.

Hi Steve I'm glad to see that you are doing great. I hope to see you at Chickasha next year.

Wouldn't be neat if the Model T community could get together and rebuilt Steve's roadster for him so when he gets well it will be waiting for him.

When I first read about Steve I thought it was a sick joke, but no it did happen. I see Steve at Chickasha and I hope to see him next year. It hurts to see Steve's Roadster in that condition and hope he can get it repaired. I'm praying for you to get well quickly.

What I have seen is that Dan had about 10 bands that he was putting on the linings and the levers that needed the hole drilled and finished. And the rights wasn't the right word to use, he just bought the plans for reproducing them

Dan Bennet bought the rights for the AC brakes and will start producing them. Right now he is making the jigs for them if the paying jobs will give him some time to work on them. When will the brakes be on the market I don't know, but I will keep you all informed. The brakes will be for the 25 and o...

I am sorry to report that Mike Bender has Leukemia and will not be able to rebuilt anymore engines. One of our member of The Special T's had his 25 Fordoor engine rebuilt and Mike told him that it will be his last engine. It's sad that people who do great things for our beloved T's have to quit beca...

This morning I backed Lizzy, my 26 Touring, out of the garage and gave her a good wash. I'm getting her ready for the Sooner Celebration we have every year in our town Waukomis a week from this Saturday.

Gee and I was cussing out computer for nothing.

I rode on her a few years ago when they had the Trimotor in Enid, Okla. I at first wasn't going to have a ride but was talked into it by a friend, I am glad that I did, it was a very enjoyable ride, and I will again when they bring her back to Okla.

This morning I drove my 26 Touring to town to pay my gas bill at the local CO-OP, then I went to the Post Office to mail the old generator for my Model A pickup and put money in my checking account to pay for the rebuilt generator for my A. She wasn't running good till I adjusted the fuel mixture th...

That worries me when I'm gone to my reward that some idiot will buy my Model T and A and destroy them. A person like that should be horse whipped.

One invention I would like to see is a time machine so we could go back in time to buy NOS parts for our T's.

This morning I fired up my 26 touring and drove to the cemetery to collect the flowers off of the graves of my family then I went to my local farmers CO-OP to drink coffee and I went home. She ran real good and it was nice driving her around before it rains again.

I'm glad the forum is back, I was getting lonely.

Nice photo, but I also say yesterday because he's not wearing a tie.

I was getting my 26 touring ready for this years fun. Monday I cleaned the timer and change the air filter with a clean one. Tuesday I greased the rear axle, steering bushing, and driveshaft, also oiled the front axle, tie rod, and spring shackles. Today I changed her oil, and next she will get a wa...

HAPPY EASTER everyone.

I do hope you will bring it to Chickasha so we all can drool over it.

I received mine yeaterday.

Happy New Year everyone in Model T land.

Merry Christmas to everyone and a Happy New Year.

WOW It sounds like a Curtis JN-4 and it flies like one.

I believe that the rear axle hole is for the drain plug on the oil pan.

Didn't Stan Laurel play one in one of the Boy's movies?

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. The only thing I can say is that she is with God and one day you will be with her again.

My 26 Touring is all stock except for the side rearview mirrors, the rearview mirror on the windshield, and the New Day timer. I even use Champion X sparkplugs.

In 2019 I replaced the timer with a New Day on my 26 touring. When I started her up, the New Day was doing the hula, so I ordered two brass shields and cut out the centers for the modern oil seal, The shields acted as a washers that hold the timer away from the brush keeping it from doing the hula, ...

I got mine yesterday and the Post Office folded mine in two like always.

I will stick with gasoline.

This morning I took Lizzy, my 1926 touring, on a 10 mile round trip to the bank. When we got home I changed her oil and finished greasing her universal joint and drive shaft bushing. Now we are all set for the summer.

I got my Vintage Ford today.

I believe the tractor is a Twin City.

Eleven years ago when I bought my 26 Touring the first thing I bought a new Radiator. When it came I noticed it was a round tube. I have drove it in parades in Oklahoma in August with no problems and it still keeps the engine cool.

Happy Birthday

That engine looks bone tired to me.

Propane or natural gas in a vehicle, Not this country boy. I have seen a car that had a propane tank in the trunk that had a leak then a spark, the trunk lid blew off and messed up the back half of the car. When I was a boy helping my Dad work the fields, our tractors had propane. My Dad said for me...

And Mr. Moose.

Just buy the new Ford electric F150 and your troubles are over.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all caretakers of our beloved Model T's

How about using JB Weld, that should fix it.

To all friends of the Model T. HAPPY THANKSGIVING

After reading about a magnet being ground up when it fell into the transmission, I took mine out. I never seen any metal filings when I had it in the transmission.

I don't do a thing with my 26 touring. I just back it in my garage, shut her off and wait till it warms up. I been doing this for the last 10 years and in the spring I change the oil and clean the New Day timer. She will start every time in the spring.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Dean

About 10 years ago I ask an old mechanic in our town how often did you have to overhaul Model T's and A's because they didn't have air cleaners. He told me that they had to overhaul them pretty often.

In Washington DC every day is Fools Day.

I must be a dumb bunny, because 11 years ago I bought a new radiator for my 26 touring. I didn't know about round tube and flat tube. I ordered the radiator from Obsolete Ford Parts and it is a round tube. I have been running it all this time with no problems, if fact I drove her in a parade last Sa...

To bad that the steel quadrants are not being reproduced, I could use one on my 26 Touring.

HOORAY I hope that will start building gas tanks for the 26 and 27 models.

Eddie kiss me goodnight.

I had to do some business at the Post Office and the bank. I took Lizzie [1926 touring] to go the five miles to town, and she didn't want to start. After coaching her she finally started. I found out why she didn't want to go, the clouds came up and started to drizzle, but she ran real good all the ...

I asked an old mechanic how often did you have to overhaul Model T and A engines since they didn't have air cleaners. He told me pretty darn often, so that's why I have air cleaners on both my T and A.

Finally the rain has stopped long enough and everything dried out so I could get Lizzy out and change her oil and greased her bearings and oil the spindles and tie rods. I also had a hit your forehead with your palm moment, I tried to start her but she wouldn't start up, gas turn the gas on then she...

Allen my dad also told me not to back up a vehicle in a wheat field so the straw wouldn't collect on the exhaust and cause a fire, and some of us still have gas pickups. The diesels are to noisy anyway.

If I droved a car in the middle of the wheat field like that my dad would have killed me.

I like how simple they are to repair. About a year ago I started my 2015 F-150 when I backed out of the garage a cat ran out from under the pickup. The cat threw off the fan belt, I looked and there is not a way to put it back on the pulleys, no way to loosen the alternator, or a spring loaded idler...

Shoot I've been wearing overalls my whole life. My Grandpas wore them and my Dad, in fact they are the uniform of farmers

I met Lizabet, my 1926 touring at Chickasha eleven years ago. My son, David, and I heard about the prewar swap meet and decided to go to see what it's all about. When we entered we seen this Model T on a trailer, but no one was around so we wandered around looking at the cars and parts. When we was ...

Steve I have used one for years. It's real handy for washing out the front hubs of grease.

Welcome to Oklahoma fellows, as we say if you don't like the weather just wait five minutes.

I know that they was old cars a were a dine a dozen, but it still hurts when I see those old films of our beloved Model T getting wrecked.

I got my Jan-Feb Vintage Ford today.

When I put a New Day on my 26 touring it was doing the Hula when the engine was running. I tried to bend the arm that holds the timer, but it didn't want to bend. So I ordered two brass shields, cut out the middle for the seal. The two brass shields was enough to bring out the New Day so the brush h...

I got mine yesterday, just the back cover. the rest is still somewhere in the post office. I will have to call Langs tomorrow and have them send me one, hopefully in one piece.

Happy New Year I wish that we will have a Chickasha swap meet this new year

A few years ago at the Chickasha swap meet, not the prewar one, there was a Model T Centerdoor a guy was selling that he claimed it one time belong to Henry Ford. He had the serial number check and it suppose to match the one Henry owned. He had one of the Grandson signed one of the spiders on the s...

My 26 touring name is Lizzy, short for Lizzabeth T Ford. My 31 A pickup is named Glen for the previous owner. And my 47 CJ2A Willys Jeep is named Teddy, short for Theodore Roosevelt because he is a Rough Rider. And Lizzy's middle name so far is Terrific and not Trouble.

I was wondering if there is something clogging up the exhaust.

Boy I would hate to be the guy on the Fordson when that cable would break. Otherwise it is interesting watching the Fordson at work.

Fine On Rough Dirt

My Dad had a saying when he saw something that someone had that he liked, If I had that and he had a feather in his butt we both be tickled. Also being a veteran of WW 11 he would often say, What you want egg in your beer?

Nice ride thanks Scott, YAWN, now it's time to hit the hay.

A couple of years ago our Model T club's take apart T battery was low, so I crank started it. It started then died I tried again, this time the driver forgot to retard the spark, the T kicked back and thank God I was cranking with my left hand the crank pulled out of my hand came around and nicked m...

I have a bumper sticker on one of my old vehicles that says, Don't laugh it's paid for.

I drive my 26 touring to our small towns of Waukomis and Bison, but I am scared to drive in Enid. Some of the people in Enid drive like you have brakes and they don't, in fact it scares me to drive in town with my 2015 F150 and I'm glad to get back home.

Fairview, Okla. Threshing Bee/Two Cylinder show going to be Sept. 25-26 if they don't cancel it because of this virus. I have taken my 26 T touring in the past along with my 1937 model D JD. This year I will take my 31 A pickup instead. Pawnee is a good show, but at Fairview we have a field that we ...

Two are washing their cars and the other is tightening the rods.

Scott C I enjoy your videos, if I bounce around in my recliner it actually feels like I am riding along with you.

It would be nice if they would put the little holes on the top of new valves.

In my Dad's old Blue Streak parts book from the 1950's, That point set fits 27-34 Chevy, 41-42 Nash 6, 27-35 Olds, 28-32 Pontiac, and 29-33 Studebaker.

Try Vintage Power Wagons they might have door latches that will fit. They handle parts for civilian Power Wagons and also military Dodge trucks.

Maybe it's one of those new airbags for the rear.

There is one thing that hasn't been mentioned fire. I knew an old mechanic that was a volunteer firefighter. He never put on a seatbelt because he had seen to many people belted in an automobile while it was burning. In fact every time he went to town and was stopped by a policeman and got ticketed,...

I was told by my dear ole Dad, never mix oil. Why I never asked, I figured that he was older and new why.

I told Lizzy, 1926 touring, good morning and patted her on the fender. I do that every morning, what doesn't everybody do that?

Thanks for the information. I know that the forum is a great place for any information on the great Model T. I have many times finding help when I work on my T, I would be wondering how to fix a certain problem and low and behold I start to read on this forum and I find the answer. You are a bunch o...

I have a 26 Touring that I have owned for nine and a half years. I do belong to a Model T club and I wish that this virus will go away so we can have our meetings. Steve I don't know if I can put pictures from my computer, I don't have a smart phone my phone does have a camera but I can't send or re...
