Look up CPM machines. They exercise the knee without putting any weight on it.

I got this message when I tried to order two badges.

I wonder why the reflection in the windshield of the first car doesn’t match the sign on the wall?

This Saturday August 5th

The song attached to “Katie across the nation day 1” is my favorite.

This is about 5 miles west of Interstate 79 and 15 miles north of Interstate 80.

I have never seen this car but I know the owner's brother in law.
He said the engine was rebuilt by Kevin Prus.

I wonder why the photo is blurry?
The original image is nice and clear.

I wish everyone used large font.

My future wife and I July 1973.

Thank you.
That link doesn’t show up on my iPad but does on my desktop computer.
I guess I spent too much time on the iPad.
Thank again.

Where can I find the list of Model T parts suppliers that used to be on the website?

I have a cast iron Prus head also.

I'm not sure of the correct terminology but it looks like this.

The same people who started the Empire Automobile co also built the Indianapolis Motor Speedway at about the same time and they put all their effort into running the speedway and ignored the Empire. They farmed out the assembly of the cars in 1913 and some of them were assembled here in Greenville a...

Finally figured it out.

That is a Model 31 Empire. There are only about 5 of them in existence.
I would post a photo of the one in our museum here in Greenville if I could figure out how to post photos on this forum.

The gentleman in the first photo must have really long legs.

Here is one discussion I found. There are probably more.

Thank you Allan. I'll have to try that.

Les and Allan. How do you solve the problem of the lack of Ford script?
I have what may be the last cast iron head Prus made on my 26 Tudor.

Part of it used to be a tractor.

I'm not sure what is available today.

You may find some ideas here.

That is neat!
I never saw one of ( or even heard of) those before.

An earlier thread on the subject.

Several years ago I made a bracket to hang a horn on the radiator rod. The bracket attached right at the firewall and was held in place with the radiator rod nut. I don't see how it could have had much affect on the radiator.

Thank you for sharing your experience.
Your posts are always enjoyable.

Thank you Barry!
That’s it.

I got a little old pile of tin- No body know what shape it's in- She got 4 doors and a running board- It's a Ford oh It's a Ford- Honk, Honk, Rattle, Rattle, Rattle, Crash, Bang, Bang, Honk, Honk. John, do you know any more of that song? My grade school age niece sang that to me about 45 years ago....

Tom
Thank you.Thank you.Thank you.Thank you.Thank you.
All of these and all of the others you have posted are fantastic.

My favorite Beach Boys tune?

Here’s my favorite Model T song from Katie across the nation day 1. The music starts at about the 1 minute mark.

The man with the long handled pitchfork seems to be the only one that worked up a sweat.

I believe the stone structure in #17 is the remains of an old iron furnace.

There may be a cable attached to the back of the truck.

I will second what Steve said about Charles Russell's studio in Great Falls.
20 years ago my wife and I spent a couple weeks in western Montana mostly following Lewis and Clark.
It will be a great place to tour.

Thank you, Robert.

I never knew that there were different sizes.

A plump wife and a full barn never did any man harm.

Chris, ask these people where the Ford dealership was circa 1920.

I was hoping someone would let us know what happened.

Rich, I like all of your cartoons but the last two are the among the best.

What Terry said!

This has been the most interesting thread on the forum since last October.
In some ways I'm going to be sad to see it end.

I hate to see this thread end. Puns like these don't grow on trees.

I'm the old guy.

Amazing! I had to zoom in on the picture to be sure it was a painting.

You're welcome, Mack. I'm happy it's going to be used.

This 1920 ad is listed on ebay now.

Early 1971. I'm standing behind the dump truck.

Even the two '1913' caps I have are different.

Thank you Russ.

Russ, I thought Arizona plates back in the day were all copper like the ones that were on my 29 model A roadster when I bought it.

It's handy that Kevin's shop is less than 10 miles from Snyder's Antique Auto Parts.

The closest T engine rebuilder that I know of is Kevin Prus in Columbiana OH. 330 774 7130

Frank, I think the man is breading fish fillets and it sure does look like a bear in the brush behind him.

If you can see the glue lines after you put it back together you could paint more lines on the globe to make it look like crazing which is common in old pottery.

I don't remember if I measured them or not.
And this disc is not available now. I'll see what I can find out tomorrow.

Does it look something like this?
I sent you a PM

Thank you Stan. That is what I had always thought but your comment about being able to adjust the carb from inside the car made me wonder.

Last Saturday (12-28) Stan Howe listed a slightly modified OF for sale in the classifieds. stromberg OF.JPG " notice what somebody made to fit the earlier style adjuster. I had never thought of doing that, it's a unique idea and would make it easy to adjust the high speed mixture from inside the car...

If you jack up the rear end and remove the wheels you can put a piece of heavy wall steel rectangular tubing under the frame and over the wishbones and support it on good jack stands.

The word "Tractor" is below the Ford script.
I have no idea why the first photo posted twice. Or why the gauge photo is below the text.

This one was free. It matches my Son's roadster and my Tudor perfectly.

When I'm under my unrestored Tudor I'm working on something not cleaning but I do think about the last time some of the bolts had a wrench on them it was when the car was built or maybe when my Grandfather worked on it.

005 R.jpg Dennis, I think you grind the shoe to allow room for the brake cam to clear. The cam will press on the back of the shoe. I don't know about the adjuster clearance. Frank, I guess the bolt holes are 5 X 5-1/2' in those drums. I believe Mid 50's Chevy drums are 5 X 4-3/4". You would have to...

I wish I had a parts list. The owner said he thought the master cylinder was 55 T-bird.

I believe this is the filter recommended by Stan Howe. It came from MODEL A GARAGE in Luray Va.
I have one on my 26 tudor with a U&J carb and my son has one on his 26 roadster with a Model B carb and both cars run great with no fuel delivery problems.

They would come in handy to prevent this.

I'm no artist but I do have some junk in the back yard.
Hope Model A is OK.

What gauge are the spark plug cables supposed to be?
