I have several questions on tires and wheels, on the early TT's. I have a 1921 built the first part of May. It has the 32 X 4 1/2 on the rear. And 30 x 3 1/2 on the front. My first question is how many years did they use the 32 X 4 1/2 on the rear. And what kind of tire/tread pattern would they have...

I would like to thank everyone for their input. It looks likes Stutzman wins. I will give him a call. I want to build a show car. I have just received a new set of smooth white tires from Coker this week. Which has been ordered for right at a year. I thought it might take a long time to get a set of...

I am down toward the bootheel of Missouri.

I have never had any wheels rebuilt and would like any suggestion you have to offer. I am wanting the best job possible. This would be for my 1914. Two 30 x 3 and two 30 x 3 1/2. I want show quality.

Thank you

I can tell you that they have nothing left. I purchased the entire estate of model T and Model A. But the plans on paper, were already sold before I bought this. But there was a tremendous amount of wood patterns. There was so many truck and trailer loads of parts, that it could take me a couple yea...

1915-09-15 was a Wednesday not a Tuesday. There are exceptions to the specific day patent applications were accepted, but this day was not one of them. If you search that day.....no patents were patented on that day in the US. Results of Search in US Patents Collection db for: ISD/19150915: 0 patent...

Fordson tractor pulling some type of machine. But the man blocks most of the view. Cannot figure out what it is for sure. Possibly one of those machines to break in the engines? Odd looking engine stand that the T block is on. And some type of crankshaft machine on the workbench. Possibly for straig...

I just got off the phone with Coker. I ordered 2) 600-20 and 2) 30 x 3 1/2 Firestone for my TT to be delivered at Chickasha. He said that the 600 20s are made in in USA. The front tires are are not. The current prices are good till March 10th. I asked about the amount of increase. The tires I am get...

Raoul, you got me thinking and I looked at the stamp box. It is AZO with squares in the corners. This dates this PC from 1927 to 1940
- 1904-1918 Four triangles, pointing up.
- 1918-1930 Two 'up' and two 'down' triangles.
- 1927-1940 Squares in the corners.

I have had this picture for years. And have a lot of questions that I would like to have answered. I suppose it is an N model, from I have learned lately, because of the step. The car shows to have a lot of missing parts. As you see all the advertisements on the car, and notice it says Metropolis Il...

Looks some type of cover over the back seat area. Behind the middle guy looks like some kind of gas pump. I am not very familiar with military stuff. Can any one pin point the year of the car? 1917, 1918?

Does this odd looking bumper make the car look taller in front or is it just my eyes playing tricks on me? Look at the clearance between the tires and the front fenders. Or is it just the angle of the picture?

I got mine yesterday also. Nice catalog. I enjoyed looking and looking and looking.

Thanks to everyone for all the input. This is how I (we all) learn from all you knowledgeable folks. On the Banner (flag) it has ELKHORN 09. This could possibly be when the picture was taken. As I look at the people in the photo, I see a resemblance in the people pictured. Possibly mother, daughter ...

Oops, I meant to say, possibly model R

Just decided to post another picture. I have not posted one since before Christmas. This is one of my favorite pictures of my early Fords. A very well equipped car. Please give me some information on the car. I know very little about these early Fords.

I recently bought a set of ARP main studs on eBay. I knew they were on back order from ARP. This outfit said ships within 24 hours. Well, we got the tracking number very quick, but no sign of it getting to the post office. Three days later, with no explanation, the order was canceled and my money wa...

I hope to have it running sometime this year. I don't think it will take much to make it run.
