Planning to get my 1915 Runabout back on the road with a freshly rebuilt engine by Mike Bender!

email sent, i would like one, if you still have some left.

My son is a postman and is just now delivering packages promised Dec 15. He says the distribution centers have been hit hard my COVID because the workers cannot really social distance. The distribution centers are understaffed. In a world of instant gratification, we are being taught some patience, ...

Hi Ron,

Tried to PM you but something went wrong. You have my contact info so if you don't mind, text me your new information.

Thanks,

David Ruedy

i am interested in a set, as well

Looks like I may have found the issue...with Wayne's help. What is the best way to re-adjust these spring clamps to re-position the spring in the right spot?

: rear spring appears skewed to the passenger side (to the right), clamp on the left has obviously move since the paint job

Thank you for the responses. i have a lot to check out and compare. i don't think the tire was rubbing on the driver's side, but i take a look and get pictures of that side. i does not rub unless there are passengers in the rear seat and you hit a bump. more to come....thanks all for the help so far!

Here are some pictures of the issue. My fender is roughly 10 and 1/8 in wide.

Would that be 2in wider than the standard 1913 fender? that might explain it if someone put a replacement standard fender on it.

Does anyone know if the rear fenders were different on the widetrack model T's? my family has a 1913 widetrack and recently changed the tires on it and the tire is rubbing the rear fender at the outer part on the lower side by the running board. The old tires were slightly different, still 30x3.5, a...

Dave, thanks for the offer. I found some that I think will work for now. I'll certainly keep you in mind if something does not work out. I really do appreciate the response and offer.

I am looking for some good core Ford coils to rebuild as spares for my family's Model T's. It would have been nice to pick some up at a swap meet, but, well, we know how that worked out this year! Please PM me if you have some laying around you would like to get rid of.

Thanks,

Found a very nice one, thanks MFTCA Forum! Let the fun begin!

Hi Richard, thanks for the offer. I would not be able to pick up, as I will not be in California any time soon. Still looking....

Looking to purchase a Hand Crank Coil Tester. We have enough Model T's in the family and local club to put it to use! Also wanting to learn and then teach other club members and younger members that are interested in the Model T's. Please PM if you have or know of one for sale. Would like to see pic...

Thanks Steve! Great info!

thanks to hank lee, i have a set of the correct windshield to body brackets on the way!

Steve Jelf, what kind of rivets are you using to attach the windshield frame pieces to the bracket? I really can't find anything on what to use, and am a novice with riveting.

Thanks,

David

Great job, nice looking car. i would also find it hard to part with it!

thanks all for the help. The ALF is a 1919 Triple Combination Pumper. was delivered from the factory to El Reno, OK, as their #2 truck. My dad purchased it from Peidmont, OK, fire department. it had been stripped and had a water tank in the back to fight grass fires. My dad restored it over a number...

well, that would explain my confusion. thanks all for the input. i also attached some pictures of the hinges. so i can send back the '15-'16 windshield frame i have and order a 1918 windshield frame and be good with the mounts and hinges, just not correct for my car. OR, find correct mounts and hing...

Please bear with me as i tell this story. on my '15 runabout, the windshield glass was cracked and i wanted to replace it with safety glass. so i got the windshield off the car, divided the two halves, and removed the glass and brass channel. the windshield frame is really rusted out. so i decided t...

Thanks everyone for the offers and me locate a correct brake pedal for my 1915 Canadian Runabout. I am good to go now.

-David

Sorry I have been out of pocket this week. I have not, yet, can call Saturday. Thanks for your patience. Do you have a picture of the one you have for sale?

That would be great if you have one in good shape. Thanks!

Interesting that you say that, my T is a Canadian T. If I strike out with a full pedal, i will take you up on the offer. Stand by.

Want to by a good 1915 brake pedal. 1915 has vertical ribbing and no letter B.

Thanks Gary. This one is also complete, less the timer and fan bracket. it turns freely too. internal crank and rod babbit is worn and in most cases, no shims left. did not try to remove caps and measure clearance. Transmission bushings worn and need replaced. drums, bands, and gears look good. magn...

Thanks Joe, good to know.

Based on the "no response" I would guess nobody needs this or I am asking too much. I took a stab at the price, based on what i paid for it. What is a fair price?

I have a complete 1917 Model T engine with transmission with manifolds for sale. It needs a full refresh or overhaual. I bought it for a spare engine before knowing it needed an overhaul. No signs of cracking or damage, just tired. I can deliver it to the Chickasha Swap Meet. If I don't sell it befo...

oh, okay. cat's out of the bag. my bad for not reading the previous post.

The Ersland family announced last night at our local club meeting that the Chickasha, OK Pre-War Swap Meet will continue beyond 2020, with help from their younger family members. I think that is good news for everyone!

Thanks everyone! i have great recommendations.

Are you trying to access www.modeltford.com for Langs? I just tried it and it worked.

Looking for recommendations for a Model T engine rebuilder. 1915 engine. In Oklahoma, we lost Herman Campbell several years ago and I don't know of anyone in the area that is recommended for rebuilding. Will consider shipping to any reputable shop. Please private message me any negative feedback. I ...

Still learning the Model T. My '15 engine needs rebuilt so I plan to put a '17 engine in for a while. Are there any issues doing that i should be aware of? I heard the '17 had a higher head. Will that cause any issues connecting to my brass radiator?

Appreciate any experienced input.

David

Any luck checking condition of the parts? I am still looking for a flywheel with ring gear and starter.

collecting parts to put a starter on my 1915. found a good hogshead, looking for a flywheel with ring gear and starter.
