I have a dumb phone. A smart phone is only as smart as the operator. Earl on I was like so many...... stubborn! I don't need a computer!! Or any of that other modern electronic stuff. That was in the mid 90's. I'm an automobile appraiser, and attorney's that I would deal with began to say "I'll fax ...

m My B Rajo has been performing double duty for me for 53 years. during that time I've had very few problems. I'll attach a picture of it after a days run, no messy oil problem. With a yellow chassis I don't need oil from the cylinder head to add to my cleaning duties. Daily routine while on the roa...

I'm reluctant to respond on this but I feel I have to. Jumping to conclusions too fast can cause turmoil. I had the gas gauge for sale, and for some reason after Bob said he'd take it, was having trouble getting responses from him, maybe not his fault, but not mine either, I've never experienced any...

I've never seen another one of these for the Model T engine. NOS inside oil line cleanout. Made of brass. Requires drilling a hole in the side of the block on the cam side. The "stem" of this unit sticks out for easy access, and the main body is on the inside of the engine and connects to the inside...

Ed aka #4

Hey Bob, I'm not getting your PMs. What's up?

Ed aka #4

I'll take them. Any idea on cost of shipping and which shipper would be the cheapest. If I remember right I used Greyhound a few years ago to ship a couple of tires, no crating required. Anyway let me know the next step.

Pair of unique original accessory double hinged transmission bands. $30.00 Plus shipping

Original Ruckstell shift lever. Someone in the old days extended this one as it measurers 24 inches tall. A well done extension but at close examination i could see where it was done, like some sort of blacksmithing work. I have no idea what the little added piece of flat iron was meant for. price i...

Ed aka #4

Jonah, what's the shipping address? My PayPal address is karened4@att.net. If you can explain in detail how I can ship them flat rate I'll make that attempt. Does that have a dramatic effect on the shipping cost or what's the advantage? As you can tell I'm not used to selling stuff, so I'm "green" E...

Alright, I did a closer inspection and realized why I've never seen another like this. Someone extended this Ruckstell shifter. Did a nice job but that's the story. I'm open to offers.

Ed aka #4

Everyone's asleep. Complain about the Rocky Mountains and pass up a set of original small drum outside brakes for $125.00??? I agree they look like Bennetts and the missing piece can easily be made out of heavy duty piece of strap iron.

Auto appraising is my business. Not sure I can help due to the distance that you are from me, I'm in Hayward, CA. and I'll do my best to help. I'm at 510 581 4911

What are the measurements of your visor? How wide is it? Thanks.

First time in 48 years that I have missed participating in a Veterans day/armistice day parade. I'm here, fat and sassy, living the good life because of those that served. THANK YOU WITH ALL MY HEART.

The 1920 Center door is SOLD. Thanks MTFCA

I'm showing it tomorrow to a prospective buyer but so far no money has changed hands.

Ed aka #4

So sorry to hear that news. Great loss of a friend and to the hobby.

Ed aka #4

A few more pictures.

Center door pictures

Hi Mike, I'll try to send you updated pictures of the center door after a wash job.

All of Bobs stuff went to Mark Chaffin. Thanks Mark and MTFCA.

Ed aka..#4

There's more than these if interested.

Bob McConnell's life long collection of T stuff. See pictures. Lots of new accessory items in the original box, 2 sets of outside brakes, Ruckstell shift levers, Cast iron Warford Trans.. lots of small new repro parts, Hassler shocks, 30X3 i/2 wood spoke wheels,4 engines and other misc chassis parts...

I've got one. I'm in California and you'd have to pay shipping.

Ed aka #4

Again, helping a friend sell the last Model T in the small collection that Bob McConnell had. This is a 1920 Center door that's been sleeping for 20 or so years in an open front shed. It's covered with a thick collection of dust. The car is a nice older restoration under the dust (see the picture of...

The 23 Touring non electric/battery model is SOLD! Thanks MTFCA.

Hey Jim, breath easy, the touring is sold. As for the centerdoor, I bought a new battery it started right up and runs great. All we need to do at this point is wash it to get all the 20 years of dirt off of it and it's going to be available for around $7,000.00. Glad to hear you're having a good tim...

Here's a few more pictures of Topless Tillie.

Well here I go again. Helping another friend sell her car. "Topless Tilley". This is a rare Model sold new as a non starter/generator/Battery car.

The 24 sedan is sold! Went too a nice home n the San Diego CA. area. Thanks MTFCA.

If the Jaxon lugs deal falls through I have a friend that really needs them. Thanks

Ed aka #4

Could we get some measurements please. Thanks.

Ed aka #4

Hi Phil, I agree, the price is really right. I have a guy that appears that he's going to buy but at the moment no money has passed hands, and he asked the same question. So we did a serious measuring and the overall height is 6' - 3 1/2" . If you get serious use my email address because I check it ...

Well, I'd like to post some interior photo's if I can figure out how. Okay we got 'em, or you go 'em.

Ed aka #4

Thanks Steve, as Susanne stated, learn something every day. After all these years maybe now I can use my old Ford tire pump with no check valve, knowing that it should work..

Ed aka #4

Hey Jonah, let's start a bidding war and maybe we'll come up with an acceptable price for Neil. I'm good for $7.50.are you willing to go higher? Anyone else?

Ed aka #4

Well Neil, looks like I struck out. I guess the only next step is what price will you sell them for? Doubt if I'm your buyer but never hurts to ask. Sorry I couldn't come through with 30X3s.
Ed aka #4

Okay Neil, how much in a hurry are you and would a couple of not quite bald 30X3s work for you?

Ed aka #4

Sorry Neil, I read your original post wrong, I had in my mind 30X3 1/2s. I'll go down and check but I don't think I have any 30 X 3s. Sorry to have lead you on. Almost positive I don't have two. I may have one but doubtful. I'll know sometime tonight.

Ed aka #4

Thanks for the extra pictures Neil. So, what is your desire in tires. I have a lot of black 30X3 1/2 tires. None are recent purchases from a tire company so when I mention near new I'm talking about condition not newly made. I have an abundance of old Wards Riversides, (great originals not the new o...

Hi Neil, I'm interested in your tires and probably have some black ones to use as trades. I'm not too concerned regarding age if they've been stored inside since new. Shipping wont be cheap but we'll worry about that as we proceed. Are these Coker Commanders? Or what are they called? They may be a l...

What kind of band lining are you running. Sounds to me like you lost/folded over a piece of band lining and it was stuck between the band and the drum and then it came out and everything ran free after it came out.

Ed aka #4

Everyone advice has been right on. I only have a couple things to add. On all the rural routes you can't count on gas station availability, so stop sooner than needed when you see one just to be sure. I like my T's (other than old #4) pretty much as they left the factory so plan a daily, in the morn...

Just fyi. I've been running Champion X plugs in my B Rajo for 52 years. On the road and on the race track. FU 4 magneto. Always set them at 0.25 and I've been totally satisfied with the performance.

Ed aka #4

My apology, at my age I get easily confused and was thinking, I wouldn't want the Dodge strain.

Ed aka #4

But it's got Dodge germs on it and that could spread!

Ed aka #4

Blasthemy!!! putting inferior Dodge parts into a treasured Ford script unit.

Ed aka #4

This is the only picture that we got.

Alright guys, I've been following this thread mainly because anything that's posted with the Rajo title in it I have to check out, and watching this one, I just kept thinking, most of you are going with the wrong solution. As some of you know I'm more of an era guy and just love stepping back in tim...

Hey Gary, Star didn't make cars after 1927. I have a good friend that's to a large degree a Star expert I can't give you his number without knowing what you need him for.

Ed aka #4

All the advice you've received so far is spot on, but FYI, around 14 years ago when the Rajo B head was off old #4 for a little overdue maintenance the shop that does my work called me and said we can't do anything with your valve seats, they're to worn, to many valve jobs, we need to put new seats ...

From one Ed to another, thanks so much.
