here's a closer photo.

2 lever + early first 2500? 1909. Cant tell for sure if there are 3 pedals - that would not be correct to have a 3 pedal, 2 lever T. There was some ford concept art of the Model T with three pedals and 2 levers, the picture was shared in an early Ford club meeting. The drawing depicted a model S wi...

I spoke with Rob Heyen about this engine just yesterday, he said that it is indeed a Model B engine, probably prototype and there is a possibility that it is an Air Cooled B engine, very rare but since none of the jugs are there it could just be a normal B engine. He sent me some files on it. If the...

I think I saw one or two of them in there but something that I don't see often are pictures of 17-22 runabouts or "roadster" body styles, I am looking for period photos of something similar because I have a 19 Runabout.

the second picture the first touring car doesn't appear to have a crank, am I missing something?

do these brakes use the exterior of the stock Ford brake hub or is there an accessory hub that needs to go on the rear wheels?

I get the joke, but for what it's worth, I do use an old Garmin GPS primarily as a speedometer / odometer. It also tracks max speed, elevation, direction, etc. If I want a map, it has that too. My car has a 12 volt battery-if you're running 6 volts you might want to consider a small, stand-alone 12...

Many times I’ve felt like the fellow in photo 4… Open the hood and take out a ball peen hammer..

Also in the 4th, are those shock absorbers on the front springs, I like the V-radiator

Very interesting! Thanks for the pictures

Don't even need to pack a tent with Daisy Mae, she's ready to make a bed in moments notice anywhere! Forget the slab of bacon, canned bacon, SPAM and jarred chipped beef were our meat staples camping. Funny...canned bacon...what was cheap & readily available in the 60's can now only be found on pep...

How much are you looking for for the radiator cap?

Still on the hunt!

They both have ruckstell axles with altered gearing as well as “goosed up” engines as they put it.

Jeron and Stephen made it back to Detroit Sunday I believe, Seamus is continuing his trip, I forget where but he’s driving enough to make his total trip mileage 2000 miles!

Still Looking. Someone out there must have one they would like to sell. Only responses I have received are from a Benjamin Kak, Glenn Priest, Goodness Ways, and Holy James who have tried to sell me my own picture. BEWARE!!! Way to many of these guys out there trying to poach our hobby. Hopefully so...

I don’t drive my T as much as I’d like but I have so much fun driving it and I’m trying to get out more.

Do steel versions of this even exist or are they all brass? I've only seen 2 and they're painted so I don't know.

I am looking for the front license plate bracket crank holder for my 1919 runabout. I’ve seen two of them on friend’s cars and i like the look of them. One of the parts stores has the unpolished brass version but I’d like the steel because I don’t like painting over brass. Please email me at jcsincl...

It looks like you have a mix of parts. The fan assembly T-3962 and a FAN SHAFT Part # T-3966 with a fan shaft 3967B. So the question is is the fan shaft threading into the fan support arm your using ? fansss.png latre support arm.png -- -- The boxed in black thing that you questioned is a headlight...

Here is a photo. its a 19 so it has a grease cup not a locking nut,I did fill the inside with grease before assembling it so it could be the grease cup not tight enough,

I can’t figure out how to get the photo onto the forum, I’m on mobile and as soon as I get home I hit the road for Hershey, I’ll try to but I don’t know if I’ll be able to

There isn’t a nut on the back of it.

Your belt is too tight if you are smoking them. You should be able to easily spin the fan slipping the belt. Doesn't your fan shaft have a nut to lock the shaft after you set the shaft position? The belt was smoking because of the heat from the crankshaft trying to turn it and the fan not rotating ...

So on my 1919 runabout, the fan has seized for the second time in the span of 15 miles worth of engine run time. I’ve found that it does free up if I loosen the center shaft but I’d prefer to not have to fix it every 15 miles. Is there something I’m doing wrong, the fan spins freely when I put it on...

Does anyone run their gas lamps off of propane instead of acetylene? If so what does your setup look like, thanks in advance!

Hi, I know that it’s an old thread but I have a question as I am building my first T and Speedster. It looks to be a piece of billet aluminum or steel in the lower mounting bracket right under where the crank goes, what’s that for and do you have any available still?

Well they were called runabouts because they would run-about a block then quit!

Walt, I have stumbled upon this old thread from last year. Curiosity is getting the best of me, Have you gotten the car that you have pursued for such a long time?

Bump to top.

Hello! Does anyone have any or know where I could buy either NOS or reproduction cast Neverout brackets, I am looking for the license plate and taillamp bracket if anyone has them for sale please let me know.
thanks,
Jonathan
