One thing to remember with New Day and lots of other brands of timers is they are not timed like a Ford roller timer. If you use the little sheet metal gage and it's measurement like the Ford manual states with a New Day timer, the timing is more than likely wrong. The only good way to time a replac...

I really hate that this happened. Glad to hear he may be OK. Our prayers and thoughts go to him, family and friends. Been following you guys for awhile.

Scott, I agree about people driving faster than the car should allow. I've seen it too many times on tour. So on most of the tours we do, I try to be the last car. or trust the guy behind me. . I know how to navigate the routes, and pick up stragglers or help whoever needs help. As to adding a Warfo...

I believe they work with safety hubs but I would check with Birdhaven to be sure.

Norman, and others who think the repro Rockies not holding in reverse is not a big issue and you will have time to react, have probably never been in that situation. Now I will say we have a KC Warford trans. It was part of the problem, but not all. We were climbing a average hill on blacktop. Nothi...

I've had original AC brakes and repro Rockies. Both are external contracting. Pros: both look more period correct, (that's about it). Cons: ACs will fade quickly as they heat up. Repro Rockies do not fade as bad but "WILL NOT HOLD IN REVERSE" I used caps on purpose, Not holding in reverse caused us ...

Photos would help. Jack the empty spot is probably for the aluminum cook kit or storage. There is nothing missing if it is a large or medium Tourist Kitchenette. I have not seen photos yet. But sounds like a large or medium size Tourist Kitchenette. The large tourist Kitchenette can use a 6 person c...

Herb, I do not think this is the same Couplet that has been on E-Bay for years ...

I think they are discussing it and asking for input on the Amalgamated Order of Motor Campers Facebook page ....

Glad to see some folks are interested. I would hate to see the Couplet go for scrap.

Gene. I would love to go. The Couplet body, the Lincolns, the Yellowstone busses, the 1909 REO. I would be dangerous if I had money

A lot of these cars were inside. There are pictures with the cars inside and also showing the buildings. Lots of them are outside.

There is a complete 1909 REO car for sale in Montana. It is a Vanderbrink Auction. here is the link to the auction. I also have it in a separate thread here in the Forum.

It is lot # 303M

Vanderbrink Auctions has an online only estate auction coming up in Montana It has lots of early stuff with some Model T cars and parts cars. Other early cars. 1909 REO is oldest to 1960s era with some later stuff. A huge auction with a good selection of cars, trucks, tractors, hit miss engines and ...

I remember reading in some Ford literature, probably the Service Bulletin's that factory run out was 3/8 inch when new. Not sure if that was at the wheel rim or tire OD. 1/8 of a inch is actually pretty good.

I did not notice the washers were there till I looked at the photos again. Yes the thrust washers are there. I changed my post, but not before you commented. This is a very useful tool. One other thing to remember is to check the front axle with a file before using the taps. If the axle has become "...

Great score. Even if you buy the pair of reamers from Dan, you are still doing very good as to price. I would recommend to get the reamers from Dan and also look for a single taper reamer to complete your set. Having a extra pair of reamers is a wise investment. Dan has almost quit making them a cou...

Aussie. Nice looking tent. That tent on a period looking trailer with wheels matching the car would look real nice. It would also give good storage underneath the tent for camp gear. You could also have a slide in box, similar to the old "peddlers" boxes in the back of the truck bed. That would allo...

Thanks for watching. I think we are at 18 videos now. We try to vary our content, and try to show actual simple camping and day trips. The videos of us setting up displays at modern rendezvous and expos is trying to promote vintage camping to "the rest of the world" not just to the group that alread...

:roll: We got to take a camping trip with the Model T and our Zagelmeyer trailer. It shows us setting up the trailer and some of the highlights of the camp trip. We went to a local Corp of Engineers Lake near us as the first real test run of camping with the trailer and pulling the trailer with the ...

I seem to remember a earlier discussion about the holes. It brought up the point of cooling. One theory was if both holes are open, then the cooler water coming into the inlet on the side of the block, tends to go into the first hole as the path of least resistance. Then takes a shorter path back to...

Have fun. Maybe next year we can go. Take lots of photos for us stuck at home ...

Sold pretty quick. Someone got a nice trailer. I was very interested in this trailer when it was first posted a year or so ago. But it was tied up in an estate and took a while to settle things. while waiting for this one, I found us a 1929 Zagelmeyer trailer for us to use, or I would have bought th...

They are a very nicely made product. Made here in Arkansas by the same person who made the TT high speed gear sets. He is a master at machining. He just makes these things between his regular contract jobs.

Keith, That is Ian. The 18 year old I mentioned at the start of thread. Very knowledgeable young man. I'm not sure if all the wheels sold or not. I think some of them did. There also was lots of 26-27 wire wheels and hubs sets. I know at least 2 of those sets sold. Never seen so many 26-27 sets of w...

I did not buy much this year. Although I did save over 25 water pumps and various shocks from being scrapped. (It must be a sickness) I did get a nice Coleman Lantern to use when we go camping. It's the nickel plated one. Dated November 1925. It will be perfect to use in our next Model T Camp and Ad...

Here are my photos from Duncan. I did not get many photos but enough to give a decent idea. I was very satisfied with the swap meet. Especially since it was the first year of the move of the old Chickasha meet. I saw a large portion of the old vendors and shoppers. Also saw new faces and shoppers I'...

We made it home. We did very well at the swap meet. Sold lots of stuff. Bought or traded for lots of stuff. We think it was a success. Saw a large portion of the old Chickasha crowd. Also, there was some new vendors I've never seen before. Kevin and the whole Duncan crew were very helpful, friendly,...

Linus, a smaller folding table will work. I have limited space in a Model T. 3x3 should work. I'm just wanting something period correct that folds up. I have a folding card table style that is probably late 30s art deco style that works good. But it's hard to haul because it's big and only the legs ...

I forgot to ask if you already had the Stevens facer. If you did not have it, its extra nice to find something you did not know you had and actually need it .....

Nice find. They show up in the strangest places ..

Henry, I'm definatly interested ... staying tuned ...

The Arkansas Tin Lizzies had their Winter Clinic and get together the first of February. Just now remembered to post it here. One of the topics was vintage camping so we set up our display we usually take to Modern camping Rendezvous or Expos. We are using vintage camping as a way to promote the Mod...

Do you have any Stevens, or KR Wilson tools, or any vintage T era camping stuff ??

I'm looking to buy any T era camping gear, info, books, magazines, sales literature, photos, post cards, early Tin Can Tourist items, cooking related things. Just about anything Auto Camping, Motor Tourist related. Two items I'm currently looking for are a 1920s Coleman Lantern ( restored or fixer u...

John, I checked my 1926 K R Wilson catalog and that piece is called " four point indicator" by KR Wilson. I also remember seeing it called a "spider" somewhere, but do not remember where. Check with Steve Lang, they have a lot of KR Wilson and Stevens pieces and parts. They may have one. They usuall...

Started loading more boxes of goodies. The main thing I'm looking for is teens, 1920s, 1930s, camping items. That can be anything related to Auto Touring or Motor Camping. Even books, literature, photos, post cards, Tin Can Tourist stuff. I'm currently looking for a 1920s Coleman lantern. A nice fol...

Just want to say that the frames Jack makes and the reamers Dan makes are flawless. The are exactly as good as any original. But better because the reamers and taps are new and sharp. Not worn like a lot of originals

Martin, thanks for all the effort you have put into this project ...

I agree that the move to Duncan is creating a lot of interest. I believe the merging of a pre war area and the established general swap meet will be a good thing. I believe the pre war guys need to self screen their parts and stay as true to pre war as they can. No 50s 60s stuff.. Even if a person c...

They are extremely hard to find. Took me years to find my pair. Good luck with your search. Ill keep a eye out at Duncan swap meet for you a set.

I'll have a Rajo head with exhaust project, a Wakasha Ricardo head, some NOS small goodies. Some neat period camping gear, Just lots of stuff.

Added a big tub of speedometer stuff. Lots of different makes, models, and years of speedometer parts.

Getting close to time for the Duncan swap meet. (March 19, 20, 21) It's looking like the move from Chickasha is being accepted as the pre war replacement. But we need to make it as successful as possible this year. So I challenge everyone on the fence to throw a bunch of stuff in the back of a truck...

I had been to every Chickasha meet except three. So having a place to start a new pre war meet is awesome. Lots of work has went into this by a lot of people to make this possible. We have four spaces this year . We barely got inside spaces because we had to wait to make sure we could make it this y...

We have 4 spaces inside one of the buildings. We are supposed to be beside the porcelain sign guy. Look for our roof top tent on top of our Tacoma, as we camp on the spaces. I know there will be some growing pains from the move, but everyone seems to be working hard to make it a good meet. Let's all...

I have for sale a pair of front Disteel front hubs and a pair of Disteel rear hubs with rings and hubcaps. The front hubs are in good shape and other than a good cleanup are useable as-is. The wheel bearing races look good, and I would use them, but I'll leave that up to the buyer. The races are tig...

Jack. The photos posted above are my refacer. I may have the only one left ??. I have never seen another. I do not want to sell mine, but would consider a short term loan if it would help you getting them made. I use it fairly often so it can only be loaned for a short time. The main issue I see is ...

SOLD pending .... Thanks MTFCA ...

I have a nice cast aluminum, finned, 4 dip pan, for sale. Most of my projects are done so it's time to let some of the goodies go. I do not think these are available anymore. Townsend made good quality castings. It is a nice, heavy casting. Nothing wrong with it, no cracks or other issues. It was pa...

I have a pair of RAJO style offset spindles. They are unmarked, but I'm not sure if all RAJO offset spindles were marked or not. They are in better than most condition. The threads are good, not rusted or pitted. There is a little wear to one of the keyways for the keyed washer. Will not affect the ...

We are planning on being there. Will have a good selection of stuff. Let's try to give the new venue a good start. From what I've seen, it may be a better venue.

The disc brakes apply all the braking force thru the rotor and caliper brackets that are bolted to the ends of the axle tubes and backing plates. The axle keys, axles, ring and pinion gears, drives shaft, and u-joint have no braking force applied to them when using the disc brakes. The rotors are we...

It's working good now.

Matt and Martynn, the rev-1a drawings look good to my eye except eggs and butter on the type A do not look like the "scrunched together" letters in the photo of my type A. I believe they have to be "scrunched together" on the type A, to fit into the shorter recess caused by the area for the finger p...

I have for sale a FORD barbeque grill. I bought this several years ago at Chickasha. I glass beaded it and painted it with high temp grill paint. The shelf that the briquets set on has a few pin holes. I think it was caused by condensation from sitting for years in an unheated building. The shelf is...

I have three T-1917 band wrenches for sale. They are the 1911 - 1912 Large script style. last three I have for the early tool kit. I'll take 20.00 each plus shipping or if a person wants all three, Ill take 50.00 for all 3 plus shipping. International shipping to be actual cost. These will fit in a ...

When you heated the hub, it expanded outward and inward. Then when you quenched it with water it will shrink more than it was before you started. Since it is a double-sided surface similar to a pipe, the outside diameter gets smaller, and the inside diameter gets bigger due to the wall thickness shr...

Sold, Thanks, ..... MTFCA

I have for sale a TABER cast iron combination muffler/cut out. It is designed to bolt up solid to frame like the early cast iron end mufflers and the exhaust pipe just slides into the muffler. It is an expansion type muffler that muffles by the exhaust expanding in the bulge area of the muffler inst...

I have 2 L-4 carburetors for sale. One is the 1921 to late 1925 style and the other is the late 1925 to early 1926 style. The only real difference in the carbs is the style of mixture control, the earlier style used the "fork" style and the later used the "u-joint" style. both style mixture controls...

SOLD .. Thanks MTFCA

Ron, Thanks for the info.

I have for sale a Frank Mossberg wood wheel hub puller. Will not work on TT rear wheel hubs. The threads are good on puller, tension bolt and the clamp bolt. The tension bolt end where a wrench fit is scared but a wrench still fits good and will not hurt the function of the tool. Just a good useable...

I sold an item to a person in Canada. It appears that due to the Canadian postal workers strike that there is no USPS shipping to Canada available at this time. I tried UPS but the online calculator did not allow me to calculate shipping either.

Sold to Ken, thanks MTFCA...

I have a Stevens piston ring expander tool for sale. It is in nice shape but does have one of the little finger/guides broken on one end. It probably is still functional as is, but I have not tried it. It is a hard-to-find tool and has been on display in my collection for years. I'll take 40.00 for ...

Sold to Scott. Thanks MTFCA ....
