Magnetic driveshaft
Just salvaged a driveshaft from an old rusty torque tube, had to heat the u joint and flail it a bunch to get it off. When I cleaned the shaft up, found that it had been magnetized. Anyone run into this before, guess at one time one of those junk yard magnets must have picked it up.

6 volt battery charger
Need recommendation for a good 6v charger that puts out more than 6amps. make, model vendor and price. Seems like all I can find are 2-6amp automatic chargers.

Re: 26/27 repop head bolts caution
End result: I bought a set of grade 8 bolts from RK which are 1/2" longer than the repop bolts. Checked depth of each hole, installed new bolts one at at time removing the repop, torqued to 45lb then to 50. Satisfactory job done.

26/27 repop head bolts caution
Went to torque @50lb the headbolts on my 26 today and the rear center bolt pulled out. Had used a torque wrench on all the others and used a ford sparkplug wrench on this one cause it was under the dash. I compared that bolt with an original and the repop was about 1/8" shorter. I was lucky and had ...

The points are around and show up from time to time but are very pricy.

They are cheap and plentiful. Also, you can always dr...

If there is a threaded hole on the back side, then make a U shaped bracket that you can screw to the back of the speedometer body. You pic looks like there might be such a threaded hole.

Very little Fordson parts are same as T, I am aware of only the coils, and timer fitting a T. The Fordson engine was larger than a T and had a transmission with three fwd and one reverse and no brakes until the much later models.

Re: Hi Volume outside oil line info needed.
Problem with most of these installations is that the vendors provide instructions to have some of the parts inside the hogshead. In my opinion the best way to do them is to first find where the oil slings heaviest and center the outside piece over that area, then drill the hogshead for oil and the f...

26/7 toruing rear floorboards
Could someone please post pictures and measurements of a set of 36 touring rear floorboards. Are they two piece, each one half of the width? How are they fastened down. I have always thought they ran side to side and recently read a reference about them being two piece if that is correct.

Most wheels I have seen for sale are not tried for trueness. They wobble and will have to be straightened. Just ask any flebay seller if he has check his wheels on a hub to see if they run true.
