Set of 3 transmission drums for model Ts 1925 and earlier. These drums have been cleaned, checked for cracks by magna flux and have been precision ground and polished.

Are these available? I could use them on a round tank that is missing a set.

If available I would like to buy.

Humble. You are referring the ones with the square holes instead of round. Yes I know of that change. Thank you.

when replacing the 17-22 wood fire wall with the low steel replacement fire wall are spacer washers needed betwern the frame mounting brackets and the metal firewall? If so what are its dimensions. Thanks for your support. Jp

When it comes to model Ts I have learned never assume. You have two roadster bodies. Don't assume they were made with the same dies or on the same stamping press. Dies are replaced and the replacement may not be exact copies of the original. I've been down this road with 26-27 touring bodies. Change...

And the search continues. There must be a survivor available somewhere.

Your cell phone charges on 5 volts. The phone charger cord reduces the input voltage wether it is 6 or 12 volts.
I use a cigarette lighter socket mounted discretely that my phone charger cord plugs into, it is 6 volt. Works great.

Well the need continues as well as the search.
Still searching .

I am awaiting castings from the foundry. They will be available again.

Steve and others: I am awaiting frame castings from the foundry. Once they are received I will have frames available. I do not have a delivery date from the foundry. They run on railroad time.

I used mirrors off of a farm truck of the 40s or 50s
They had a long adjustable arm that reached out past the bed.

I'm still searching for this tool.

It's been slow or not available for the last 48 hours or more. I always got the message to clear my cookies before it could be accessed.

I'm still searching for this Steven's axle tool. Can anybody help me find one??

air suspension on the front axle, no spring!/

Trent: I have sent you an email . Jack

Richard, thank you for your reply. I am hoping to remake the original tool, I am not trying to repair an axle. I believe I made the Steven's tool you show in your picture

I am searching for the Stevens Front axle facing tool that is used
to reface the inside yoke surfaces. The inside surfaces of the front axle yoke wear and this tool is used to file them perpendicular to the king pin. Please contact me through the forum email. Thank you, Jack[

I still have a Steven's frame available.

The location would help your sale.

Yes George, message sent to you.

They are priced at $285 plus USPS of $18, total $303. I will accept Paypal for these. I have additional casting...

Pipe plug is for inspection of the oil tube.

That "ugly thing on the manifold" is a very era correct manifold heater. If you are going to drive the car in cold weather it is desirable to have it. The poster is from Iowa and I can get quite cold in winter there.

Which of the 15,000,000 model Ts left the factory with glyptal painted generators or engines? If it wasn't needed then, it is not needed now.
I rest my case.

I am seeing some tiny dark spots on the brass parts of my 1912. The spots are the size of ground black pepper flakes. What is the best method of removing them?

Lifters with the dip on top are candidates for the million mile club. That dip is wear. Beaten down by the valve stem. They need replaced.

A slight bend in the front axle yoak will wear one tire, yet the axle will pass the caster/camber test ok.
A hard stop by a curb will do it.

If you are still in need I have this one as cast

A new batch is in the process now.. August 1st, just waiting on the foundry. Jack.

Just sent information on the Dayton hub castings available.

I have new raw cast iron castings for Dayton pin drive wire wheels if you want to machine a new hub.

Which side do you need?

The tie down strap attaches to a Murphy fastener below the back rest
If my memory is correct.

I have a full set of rebuilt Dayton 30x 3 1/2 pin drive for sale. Excellent condition, definitely. Pm if interested.

The only thing on the back of the lock was much rust as was the inside. I found no numbers.

When you have two nearly identical Yale lock tool boxes for your Model T and no key it is time to man up and do something about the key shortage. Relying on minimal knowledge gained some 50 years ago in a mail order locksmith course taken during a cold winter, I have achieved success and now have w...

Langs did have the cardboard that covers the tank. I got mine for my 25 fordor from them .

I use a piece of solid stock turned to the crankshaft diameter clamping in thecap. Using solid material it acts as a heat sink to protect the babbit surface of the beaing cap. I work with a small acetylene flame.

Yes I HAD a 290 cam in my fordoor. Waukesha head, OF carb. Ruckstell rear end.
Put four people in the car and forget climbing any hills. Absolutely no low end. Great on the flat country, worthless in hill country. Ymmv

WTB TOOL BOX rectangular type with original lock and latch. I'll be at the Richmond homecoming, if you have one bring it along or message me on this forum. Thanks all.

Flat! At least mine is.

That is an original T-181. I made the repos. I know the difference.

Do you have the trunk deck?

If you put the shift lever on the left side you won't have to patch the hole in the middle of the floor when you decide that your shoe makes it difficult to get around the Ruckstell shift lever.

Bearings will begin to knock at .003 clearance .

Installing the glass in your windshield frame is easy if you take the frame to your nearby glass shop and let them do it properly. It not that expensive. If you break it while you try to install it, you just doubled the cost.

The stamping WHITE may have been done by an engine shop to identify who owned the head. It means nothing as far as ford identification.
You need valve seats to fix that crack. That may not be the only crack. #2 & 3 usually crack.

Your original flat glass lasted for 112 years. I would go with flat glass, it has proven durability.

You can get them from McMaster Carr.

I use a 3 pound hammer and a decent swing.

Ash is a great hardwood but remember powder post Beatles love it too. Treat it for insects.

I cut 4 inches from the shaft and the column. It made a huge difference. I cut and machined the shaft. The column can be shortened without removing the spark and throttle rods if done carefully. I am not a fan of cutting and welding the shaft.

What is the reduced price????

Some woods have better nail holding characteristics than others. Maple is not the best, especially hard maple. Nails will split the maple and it is very hard to nail without bending the nails. Pre drill it to prevent splitting. Screws will hold better than short nails

That crack is a typical "hard water crack". Very common in engines that were found in the northern states. It was caused by ice or hard water.

Recently I was able to compare heads made by Waukeshe engine company. If you look closely you can identify several differences in these two heads. I do not know which one is the earlier of the two.

This one has been sold to JON.
I can make more if there a demand. JP

Jim.. I am not aware of similar spare carriers
Ford did not supply any side mount carrier for their trucks until late 1926

The distance between the top pivot arm and the running board is the critical distance . This support is 28 1/8 long.

post to the top

Owners of the Model T pickup always had a problem where to put a spare tire. Finally Ford provided a mount in late 1926 that placed the spare on the drivers side of the vehicle. Yes it blocks the door, but so does the hand brake lever. The very narrow space between the steering wheel and the car bo...

Not the best pictures but I think the red set is roadster. Other set may be incomplete.

For the most parts there is one manufacturer who sells to all of the parts vendors. Who has the best they all do. Who has the worst, they all do.

Steve. Glad to hear you have planned some future activities. That indicates you are looking ahead and getting better. You must have the tour America health plan as you keep moving from state. Good on you.

Side curtains with 4 rods only fit 26,27 tourings.

A well made hard to find part.

Use a wood dowel, sharpen the end slightly. Then screw it in place. Won't damage the threads.

Where. Is the body located?

What was the logic behind "must vote for three". It makes no sense, it not logical. If I must vote for those I don't know or feel not the better candidate I chose not to cast my vote.

Naming what is for sale in the title would help your sale.

Do you have a price on your cars or should we guess

There are no splines on thre model t replacement wheel studs.

Slow has returned again.

Posting the location might help the sale.

Will you ship to ohio?
