Jeff B., where did you find fine thread all-thread? I have looked for it along with the coupling nuts in the past and never did find any. That was about twenty years ago though, haven't looked since. Dave

FS. Front motor mount clamp for front spring clip. It is Ford script, but has some wear on one side which can be repaired easily by welding it up or brazing and grinding. Other than that, it is very nice with no pitting or wear on the inside. I don't think these are being reproduced. $10.00 plus shi...

FS. Boyce Jr. Motometer parts. Two chrome smooth rings, two beveled glass lenses, one lens gasket, one face plate with Ford winged script, and one face plate with the temperature scale. I can text pictures, that's the only way I can. $15.00 plus shipping in the lower 48. Thanks, Dave

John and I got to be pretty good friends by just visiting on the phone, never did get to meet him in person though. We had a lot in common besides having TT's. Heck of a nice guy, I miss him a lot. Dave

Around here, we never wire down boomer handles, but we do wrap the loose chain around them. If you don't have enough loose chain, your chain is too short.

By the way, a good cheater pipe is a must, along with a healthy bit of common sense!!!

Dave

Allan, you for sure hit the nail on the head! Around here there are a lot of antique tractor guys that run tires that can be 50+ years old and work just fine. And it isn't just tires, almost anything made from rubber doesn't last like it used to. I remember rubber windshield wiper blades lasting for...

I made some for the TT(the one Dallas has now) very similar using S.S. welding rod to hold the sockets, but I removed the burner and adjuster and ran the wire through the adjuster hole. Very easy to do, and very easy to convert back to original. Dave

I'm going way out on a limb here, but I think I recall adds for "Free Wheeling" on cars from back in the '40's/'50's maybe.

We lost our oldest Daughter (age 36) in 2017 to Cancer. All of the Holidays are hard to deal with now, but especially Thanksgiving and Christmas. I am the only one left from my immediate family, two sisters, Mom, Dad and Grand Parents are all gone now. Thank you Hank, that means a lot. Dave

That's supposed to be $75.00 plus $19.95 shipping in the lower 48. Dave

Yep Mark, just like we were when we went to Vietnam. Ain't nothing going to happen to me.

Dave

Very interesting. Of all of the T truck conversions, I have never heard of a Truckford conversion. I wonder if it was marketed under other names, it sure is very similar to other conversions. Dave

Thanks Jeff. The sideways/upside down pictures aren't hard to deal with, but they are a nuisance. Hope you get it figured out. JMHO Dave

It looks to me like some of those that Tim posted could be made to look very close to an original with a bit of time and a Dremel with a cutoff wheel. Dave

I don't know if it has been mentioned or not, but not only when rivets work loose, the holes become elongated and the edges of the holes create ridges that won't let the flat surfaces clamp down even if the rivets are just peined again. As said, it's by far better to remove the parts and repair/repl...

Robert, if you want to save it, for sure heat it. It needs to be red hot and let cool by itself. A .000 tip for an acet. torch works well, and it just takes a fraction of a second, well, maybe a bit more. I'd give it a try, if it breaks, get a new one. Be sure to heat it again before you reinstall i...

I don't have any idea how hard or expensive it would be to replace that gear, but that tooth can be welded up and ground to fit with a bit of work and care.

I had one very similar to that, but the two center drums weren't larger than the outer ones. I have often wondered just how that worked out for them.

Ad far as I'm concerned, around here in NW. MO. there should be a bounty on Deer. In their infinite wisdom, the State has set limits on them for the hunters for many years because they are "Protected". In fact, they have become a huge hazard for travelers on our local highways. JMHO. Dave
