sold, Thank you

These units are from what was left when the brass ford scripts were made in the 1950s. The unit could be made into a stencil by using thin strips holding the peices in place. The one picture on a thin board is from the 1950s was was used a a guide when the stampings were made. It shows that the piec...

Here is one mounted on a junior meter. The light unit is from the 1920s. The junior meter if from the 1950s and is a working meter. It is for sale for $108 post paid. I will list it in the for sale column if no one buys it from here.

The pull of this swap meet is great. I really enjoyed the times I was there. I an scheduled to get my shots next week and in Feb via the Veterans Administration ( I am a DV and served in the 1950s.) I have some nice items to bring, but I will pass on this one.

How about Model A. Ihavehad my 1931 pickupsince 1969.

Print on paper is still the best

A very nice 1910 model year made in 1909. Correct for a 1910, ,not correct for a 1909.

If the buyer was 25 they would be 100 years old now. That would Be possible.

I have owned my 1910 T since Sept, 1946. I may be the longest owner of a Model T, but I was looking for the original owner of a Ford who still owns and drives the For and suggest the year of the Ford might be 1946 or 7.

What model year would the Ford be for the longest owned by the original owner? I would 1940 , but perhaps 1946.

My three original boards are not real black. They have that slight blue tint, called "Midnight Blue".

The $5 day wage by Ford was a hiring ploy. Ford got to chose from the 10 thousand applicants the very best workers. With the best skillful Ford could speed up the assembly line with less mistakes on assembly. The Ford company made more profit by paying a higher wage.

I will compare my set with the photo. I want to keep my set for now.

I could have listed another vehicle, Mysmall BIKE THAT MY DAD BOUGHT ME IN 1938. It was decked out as a motor cycle with a fake tank. If you want to know, I still have it after 80 years. Another car I could have listed,. was my 1916 center door Model T. It was my second car and I paid $25 in 1948. S...

I custed these brass scripts up 60 years ago from a match plate I made (still have the plate) Cast in high grade brass. When finished, they really gleem. I will sell this one for $28 postpaid.

You do not need to take the fully off. Loosen the nut on the bolt that has the gen tight and slip the old belt off and the new one on. Pull the gen down and the belt will be tight. tighten the nut.

Russ was a member of the Twin City Model A Ford Club here in Minnesota and was an active member and one who would help you and the club when needed.

here is a photo of a board of keys I made up 20 years ago. Still have the board

I am tickled pink by all this going on.I had something that was no good, so I threw it down a rat hole. I remember some sayings from the army that are not ones to relate here. One was, so put some ??? around it

what date? I missed that story.

An August 1923 build would be a 1924 model.

The Rouge never built complete Model Ts, but it did make nearly every part that went into them. The parts were shipped back to Ford's Highland Park plant for assembly into finished cars. Not until the Model A, introduced in 1927, were cars fully built at the Rouge. I found this information on the He...

The Ford Museum built up a fake number one out of a late 1909 or early 1910. The engine came out ot the museum display. I remember seeing it on display in 1955 inside the former entrance to the Ford Museum.

The build sheet for number 1 indicates that the engine was replaced. It is possible then "number 1" became a later T, perhaps number 15 or 20.

I beleive that it was probably an early chassis from a two lever T. With out an engine. Hess then built up "Number 2".

There are some serious questions about number 2. Donald B Hess "restored" the car. He was well known as a collector of early Fords. I sold me some NRS parts. He advertised several times selling very early Model T parts, so it is assumed he had extra very early 1909 parts. The Model T in question has...

I have always enjoyed early automobiles. Original cars that are complete and operate are at the top of the list. Next are well restored cars. Not the overdone one or the ones that are " Many say an later engine is an up grade. It is not. It is a down grade. In the middle are cars the run well, parti...

Reality is that if we do not save the rain forests, swamp lands, clean lakes and rivers, and cut back on pollution all humanity will suffer.

The radiator in my Ten is tight, but will drip a bit, so I use the "safe for pets tpye' Alchohol I reserve for my personal use.

When I bought my 1910 in 1946 I called it "the Nine" for I thought it was a 1909 T. Even when I shortly found out it was a 1910, I still called it "The Nine". After a few years, i called it "The Ten", when , a few years back, it became my only Model T, I called it "the Ten" or "My Old Friend". When ...

It is marked model 110, but seems to be all brass.

Does it have a burner?

The 1910 head has several points that are on 1910 or 1909 heads only. The head onKim Dobins 191o isillustrated on line. That head is the same as the one on my 1910.

here is the link to the engine running. When we first started the engine, the smoke was the result of oil we put in to the cylinders to make it easier to turnover.

I drove my 1910 around the neighbor hood in spring and summer of 1947. I then bought a 1916 center door which I drove to high school. Sold the 1916 and bought 1929 Model A Tudor which I used on a regular basis. Sold that one and bought another 1929 until I bought a 1932 Lincoln KB 4 door. Sold that ...

A group of friends came by yesterday and checked my 1910 engine over. It turned out the compession was low due to the engine not run for over 10 years. They decided to tow the T and it started right off. After adjusting the gas/air mix, the engine ran and sounded real nice. AND THE MAG WORKED GREAT!...

Brent Mize----I have not received your letter. the 26-27 plate is $6 postpaid.

There are about 15 cars or engines of the two lever ones in existence, there perhaps 10 complete cars. I have seen three of them.

The hardware store in Gothenberg Iowa is the Kuempel Hardware and was, at least, when we visited there 20 years ago, owned by an Keumpel who was related to the one who made the kits.

Mr. Kuempel moved to Minneapolis when he retired. His daughter, Audry McGreagor financed his business of making kits to build "Grandfather clocks". The business was located near Excelsior, Mn where I have my store. The company, Kuempel Clock Works, cotinued long after he passed away. A granddaughter...

Here is a photo of the key:

/Users/darelleipold/Desktop/yale perry lock key.jpg

The yale key is marked "security". I could not find it listed in my old code book. The blank probably is very hard to find at this time.

these are great band linings. I sold then new in the 1950s. Just installed a vintage set in my 1910.

I was 15 when I first changed the band lining on my 1910. I dropped a nut into the pan. I was told to tap the drain plug and the nut would jump up and attach to a magnet. I did that, cranked the engine half a turn and there was the nut. I changed the bands this year on and the 1910 and dropped the i...

You can park that original 1910 (1911 model year, but decked out mostly as a 1910) in my garage anytime - alongside my May 1910 touring. I really like "barn finds", that are still mostly original. This one was clad with brewster green varnish when new, as was my 1910. Original wood bodies on most of...

it is packaged up for shipment, but I have one I am keeping and will photo that one.

In orignal box a NOS PERRY steering wheel lock for model T, with instructions. With two keys. $85 post paid. Paypal or check.

Few of the 1909-11 Model T Ford engines have the original timer plate. Mine did when I bought it in 1946, but I put on a NOS later plate sometime in the 1950s. I gave the original plate to a friend who needed one for his 1910. I should have kept it. I do have a repro plate and have an original two p...

Except for the pilot auto the cars we can see are 1913-14 Ford tourings. Most likely new at the time of the photo. It is interesting. If it was an "open to public" event, what all Fords? Why is the pilot auto not a Ford.

An interesting surviver. The serial number makes a 1911 - but basically it is a 1910 carry over. There are several features that are 1911 model, but the T should be restored with all the nice 1910 features. The rear wheels are still with the original green paint. The front timer cover is later and t...

Not about my 1910 Model T Ford (so I could list this message), but the birthday today of a fine man, honest, soft spoken, a real gentleman, Former president, Jimmy Carter, 96 years old.

that is a great diagram. I should have had it before me when I installed the new wire loom last month.

SOLVED!!! yes we put it high gear. Did all the tricks and nothing helped. I am at my business and will need to correct the T when I get home. It has been 20 years since I wired a T and my 1910 is the only T I have at the present. I reversed the wires on the coil box. from left to right it should be ...

we did not use a guage to test compression, but with the sparks plugs loose, we put a bit of gas by each spark plug and the gas ran in. when we turned the crank, bubbles came up showing than the pistons were forcing air out.

Yes, when we choked, there was gas by the inlet. Also we primed the cylinders. we did nothiung with the cam. we did not removed the front plate.

This summer, we pulled the engine on my 1910 Touring. It is a May 8, 1910 build. Open valve, original one piece pan, original head and trans cover. The transmission is a later non starter I installed in the 1960s and is tight and nice. The mag coil stopped working some time ago. I stored the T for 1...

By NOS I mean my 1950s reproductions, which are the best.

I could write a book of what took place at auctions years ago. Some of these trick sstill occur.

I will send a photo of the plain one. The fancy one is sold.

This fan is sought after and has a following. Estimate by an expert was $15,000. This one works, I pluged it in. Sold as is, but seems complete. I would rather have it picked up here in Minnesota. Open to offers.

the two on the left, one has a taper, the other is straight thru. Any one of these three are $28 postpaid.

the NRS and 1909-11 plate are not available. My find some later. The others are available. Nice ones from the 1950s.
