Yes he is clueless. That wire wheel hub puller is a find. Along with the bendix end puller. Glad I have them.
I watched to see if any Stevens tools showed up . Dan

Someone close needs to go by snd tell him what that stuff is. He sure does not know.

One more try.

Thanks for the encouragement. We are getting it, just was wondering if anyone on here had used one. The information here is great. Thanks Dan.
Any more information would be greatly appreciated.

Wayne: Sent you an email. Check you emails. Dan

I know I am way off topic but there is a lot of knowledge on here,
Anyone know anything about wound vac systems or had experience with them?
Wife is getting one tomorrow and I am at a lose about it. Thanks Dan

Zoom in where the circle is. A pin maybe? Just above the tag.

Look here. Still have some. Dan

They made a pouring jig too go along with the boring bar. I think that’s what he is talking about. Look in the Service Manual.

TT had a larger front tire size that was either aftermarket or an option. If I remember correctly it was the size listed in the ad.
Was not a clincher. Just regular tire. The rim fit a standard 30x3.5 wheel. Only have seen one set. Sold the rims to someone in Luray Va many moons ago.

Yes he has been MIA for a while. He was always nice to talk to at Chickasha. I was just wondering what happened.?

My guy has a tank that takes off everything! Don’t have to worry about pre cleaning. Corse his old school, grandfather in cause he has been there forever.
You can not get a permit now for vat tank like his. That is why you should find an old school shop.

Yes you must remove the Babbitt. But are you going to use 100 year bearings in an engine rebuild? Oh, I forgot. We are talking to ModelT people about spending money.

Around here environmental issues with disposal of anything like parts washer stuff is outrageous.

Nice looking work. Good luck with it. Dan

Find a machine shop that has a hot lye tank. Let them vat your parts. Lots cheaper than dealing with the cost of maintenance on your own tank.

Just saw an ad looking for wood wheels at the Duncan meet. Got me wondering about Steve Johnson of Johnson Wood wheels in Ok. I use to get wheels from him at Chickasha. Then he just disappeared. Anyone know what happened to him? He did a great job on all his wheels, demountable and Wood felloe. Just...

Here is a set of 8 aftermarket valve spring retainers I removed from an engine. They appear to be bronze. I either rebuilt or parted out the engine. These were not removed cause of a problem with them. I saved them cause they were different, only ones I have seen. $50 + shipping for the set. See pic...

Does this take the straight pipe with no flange? If so I may know where one is. Dan

There was a good swap meet there, but like many other things change. Most late model and rods.

See my update about the Fla rims on discussion page. They are split rims.

My understanding is the 21” rims are split rims. I will look at the paper work I got. Dan
UPDATE!!!
The paper work I got says 21” SPLIT RIM.
So you should contact him about rims.

Induction heater for bolt removal.

At one time there was a thread on how to make one from a brake lever. I think it is still on this forum somewhere.
Happy hunting.?

No connection, just passing on info. Dan

A few years back someone was reproducing those. They use a drive shaft tube, spare tire mount off a coupe and I think a top mount end. They looked good. Have seen one in years.

Send me an email by the forum. I may have something you will want.
Try and post a picture tomorrow. Dan

Dean please send me an email by the forum. Include you name so you can be added to list.
We are up to six. Thanks Dan

There is a guy in Fla making new 21” split rims as well as 30x3.5 clincher rims.

Find some of the video from JV Group and do it yourself. Not rocket science. Just need a good hot day or heated shop. Dan

Jacob: If you still need one email me by forum. Dan

Up to 4 need 8 more.

Send me your zip please. Thanks Dan

I have been ask by a few people about another run of Upper Tapered Reamers and the Lower Reamer/Tap. So I am posting here to see if there is enough interest in me making another batch. I don’t know what price would be, but I am sure there would be a price increase. What hasn’t had one? Only will be ...

You missed the point. They NEVER made a retainer with a slot. The pin wears a slot in the retainer cause the reproduction retainer aren’t worth a s!!!. Pin is harder than the retainer.
Go to a modern valve from a 390. That is all I install in customer engines.

Here is some information on your spring retainer.

This batch is going fast, maybe didn’t make enough.

Still have some although they are going.

Lock n Stitch made kits to repair Cummings exhaust seats. Can’t get much hotter than that in an engine.

Think how many brass Ts went to the Great War.
Any still around now survived 2 scrap drives!

So can I still buy Lock n Stitch products? It keeps sending me to that new company and I don’t see how to get the product like I did before. ?????

I was picking up a Torbin Arp TA14 in Clarksville Tn a few years ago. The guys ask what I was going to use it for. After I told them they told me about a junkyard that was being crushed that had a T in it. Came me directions, so I went to look. Sure enough, 26 Touring that was fairly complete, but i...

It amazes me that even after 100 years bandaids for Model Ts still sell.

Just hit it with a little MBRT, like the old timers did back in the day.

Hard to find. In past I have brought whole headlights for the sockets. Too bad I don’t need any.

Measure twice, cut once. That hold true here as well.

Find Herm’s thread on how he did transmissions.
If you used the standard vendor triple gear pins and didn’t polish them, you may have problems.

Has anyone ever taking an Aluminum replacement pulley that is not adjustable and make it adjustable?
I have one that is not snd want to make it that way.
Thanks Dan

Still have some if anyone wants better get them

Those were made by Fun Projects. Not sure who does now. Dan

Water will dry out.
Use linseed oil, if they can be saved.

Before you do anything clean up the block around the valves. Look for cracks. 26/27 blocks like to crack, special around the exhaust valves. Crack from valve to cly and valve to outside of block. Looks to me that one cly needs a sleeve, maybe the others will too? You need to Mag the block to find cr...

I always use new spools for the reason listed above. The old ones bust.
Also always have my crank guy dress the flange on crank. Every crank, if you don’t you are wasting your time and money.
And, every transmission gets a new main shaft. Never seen a Ford shaft that was any where near true.

If you need some of these better get them soon.

Running board brace.
I had a 14 WT Roadster that had a set on it. It never left the Fird dealership where I bought it from.

Back to the top Tom please send me an email by the forum. Thanks Dan

Here is the numbers on mine. Looks like it maybe a Z tool?

I looked into reproducing them, but the cost was outrageous. So I decided not to.
