Terry, thanks for your input, I'll check ebay.
Jerry

Update, got the cap off thanks to Craig's suggestion, turns out the shifter is good, all I need is a knob. I'll check Amazon for a generic knob with 1/2-13 threads if no one in the group has one available. Thanks
Jerry

Terry, sorry to hear of your illnesses, thanks for responding and hope you get much better soon.
Jerry

The Warfords I have are model 720, made in New York City. Thanks for every one's help, still need the above mentioned parts if anyone has them for sale. Thanks
Jerry

Any chance you might be going to your storage unit any time soon? I would be interested in knob and shifter. Let me know
Thanks
Jerry

Aluminum case (old) Warford Model 720 - How do you get the cap at the bottom of the shift lever off? I have removed the two screws that appear to hold it on but it is stuck! Another question - does anyone have a good shift lever for the above model (mine is broken off below the knob threads) or just...

I figured it out, had two problems - I was trying to use the wrong nuts (too thick) and the perches I was trying to use were worn down on the thread end, took the pieces off my old rear end and all is well, thanks to all who offered help.
Jerry

Is the threaded part of the rear spring perches longer on a later rear end than earlier cars? The perch I have measures 1" in length from the mounting surface to the end of the threads, just protruding 1/4" past the backing plate. Both sets I have are this size. May be a dumb question but there it i...

Thanks to all who responded to my search for a Warford, I have found one and no longer need one.
Thank y'all
Jerry

Tim, yes please send pictures via PM or email.

Just to be clear, I am not hung up on a cast iron unit, I would consider an aluminum unit.

Dang spell check! Ed not Es

Es. what is the condition of the unit? Do you know what the shipping to 76028 might be?
Thanks
Jerry

No problem, thank you for checking. Jerry

Will a Warford for a TT fit a T? I would consider a 3 speed aluminum unit as well as the cast iron unit.

Sorry, I need a 3 speed cast iron unit, have front u joint and support, anyone have something? Karl, you have enough stuff to assemble one?

WTB used Warford transmission for Model T, please respond with condition and price. Thanks
Jerry

All is good, the amazing Henry Lee came through for me - THANKS Henry!!!

Never mind, the Great Henry Lee came through for me, THANKS HENRY!!!!!

Sorry for the double entry - if this is not the proper section for this post ,I apologize!! Jerry

I have tried searching for my particular problem with the installation of a 920-1 case iron case Warford in a 1914 Touring. Problem is - the center "U" shaped portion of the emergency brake shaft hits the front of the Warford preventing the Ford transmission from going into high gear. Has anyone exp...

Thank you for the information!!

Does anyone have a copy of John Regan's wheel press? I have miss placed mine and of course, John's website is no longer active. any one?
Thanks
Jerry

does anyone have or know of a source for the 12-32 nuts for the control rod swivels? I have searched the internet for them, no luck! Thanks in advance

The last set I installed, I had the same problem (new brake lining), I reread Langs information in their catalogue and "tapered" the ends of the new lining and all is well. Might look at that area.
Jerry

Thanks for all the suggestions, the bands are original, repo linings from Snyders, shoes float on backing plate, I will recheck tightness of lining to band, will advise what I find!

Has anyone had a problem reinstalling the rear hubs on a 26/27 coupe after installing new brake linings? My hubs fit very tight over the brake shoes after relining, I can turn the hubs with a lot of effort, any thoughts?
Thanks
Jerry

Thanks for the input.

Is there a tutorial on relining rear brake shoes on 26/27 cars?

Anyone going to Chickasha with a good/rebuilt rear end for a T (up to '25)? Advise price and condition, please.
Jerry

Thanks for all the info and suggestions, I'll see what is best for me!
Thanks
Jerry

I have a question about frame extensions for the T. I read/saw somewhere that back in the day, if you wanted to install an auxiliary transmission, in lieu of shortening the drive shaft and tube, you simply (?) extended the frame 12" and of course the brake rods. Was there a "kit" for this or did you...

Thanks, lesson learned!!!!

Big scam going on, see details in Parts for Sale.
Jerry

Got it all apart, taking the spider to a locksmith to see if he can make a key. I'm having to pull the steering shaft as the pitman arm keyway in the shaft looks like the Grand Canyon :( . I guess I'll have to buy a new one as no one seems to have a good used one, probably best anyway. Thanks for al...

Stephen, I'm glad someone is smarter than me

Thank you so much!!
Thanks
Jerry

Stephen, got the pins out

, does the case just pull up or does it need a bit of persuasion?
Thanks
Jerry

Thanks to both ya'll, I will go look closer!
Thank

Jerry

Anyone know how to get the base of the Fox locking steering wheel off? I need to get to the gear set to replace them. I read in a November 2011 post that you drive the pins out from the bottom, however, I don't see holes in the bottom of the case. Even if there was, they would be behind the throttle...

What is the part number of the trailer converter in the above diagram and will it work on 6 volts?
Thanks
Jerry

Peter, got the brakes working great!! You just have to keep tweaking them a little at a time, getting slack out of the connections (so they don't rattle) and be sure they don't drag. I adjusted my transmission brake to come on just after the AC's and have good stopping results. Rich and Larry are gr...

Pete, still tinkering with mine as well, received pictures and notes from Rich, need to redo some things but the brakes are working pretty good. I'll post some more info as I work things out.
Jerry

John, thanks for the offer, however, Rich has a set in the mail to me. we installed the brakes on Wednesday and am in the process of fine tuning them. Hope we did it correctly, guess we will know when we get the instructions

Rich, those links helped very much, thanks for the help!!!
Jerry

Does anyone have a copy of Rich Bauman's ac brake linkage instructions/pictures? Rich is sending me a set in the mail, however I was going to install my brakes tomorrow as I have a mini tour on Saturday. If someone has instructions, please email to me @ jyoung@aristotle.net. Thanks Jerry P.S. You wo...

Donnie, I just went through this problem on my 14 touring after an engine rebuild! Couldn't stop the leak any way I tried. Finally, pulled the engine back out and found the top of the pan in the area behind the arm had a lengthwise dent about 2 inches long. There was not enough area on the edge of t...

After re-reading my post, it is not clear that my board is a solid piece covering the entire area under the seat. Works great!

My 14 touring has a board under the rear seat, hinged at the back, about 1/4 inches thick. From the look of it, it was added at some time in the past life of the car by a PO. I drilled a "finger" hole in the front edge to make it easier to lift up. The area is really handy for small item storage. Ya...

Thanks everyone for your inputs, I'm off to finish up!

I'm in the process of redoing my springs on my 14 touring, do you spray rust killing primer on before applying the Slip coat? Have a lot of info saved from the forum but didn't see the answer to my question. Let me know what is correct. I wire brushed/sanded to bare metal.
Thank in advance
Jerry

Merry Christmas from Texas to all the Model T world and every one else, too. Happy and safe touring or whatever else you do to enjoy your T's.
Jerry

Donnie, I'll take one when have some ready.
Jerry Young

Thanks Jason for the information!
Jerry

Does anyone know where I can locate an article on engine repair that was written by Milt Webb (I think)? In the article he continually stressed the importance of checking the fit of the 4th main. Also reminded you to scrape off the "goobers" of sealer after assembling two parts together. I used the ...
