Craig Raynor

Great pictures and it’s always a good day to learn something new especially when it’s T related.

Craig Raynor

Sorry to hear of his passing Bob, my condolences.

Craig Raynor

Donnie could you discribe the fan bracket? I will be going back to the collection this Sunday and will spend some time looking for it.

Craig Raynor

I saw this on the classified adds here and would like to know if the cam gear requested in the add is the same needed for this mag set up?

Craig Raynor

I have a couple more of the early radius rods and was thinking what is an acceptable amount of wear?

Craig Raynor

Craig Raynor

Could this set up be used on a T?

Craig Raynor

Welcome Rachael and congratulations!

Craig Raynor

Thank you Allan I have a couple more of these early radius rods and we will be considering selling a few of the finished product if there is a market for them, and a price that’s fair to both parties.

Craig Raynor

Thank You David I have been contemplating how to go about working with these two different metals. I will be trying your idea of silver brazing them together this weekend.We also have discussed drilling and pining the ball in place once we are sure of the correct location for It along the newly mill...

Craig Raynor

Nice picture and poem best part is she is still smiling !

Craig Raynor

Thanks for the replies! We cut this this morning and we’re going to pin the ball. After reading through the answers above we will weld it as well. Would anyone here have experience doing this and how it holds up over time/miles?

Craig Raynor

Hello All my friend and I were going to attempt to replace the ball on a early front radius rod. We are thinking to cut the old one away on the milling machine drill hole in a inch and a quarter stainless ball barring. I can imagine some here must have tried this, and if not I still would like to he...

Craig Raynor

I am building a 15 model T based ALF fire truck and the bed is made of white oak. I was told today that white oak is difficult to get paint to adhere too. Any truth to this? Any one have experience painting white oak?This is a picture of the hose bed on it end. Thanks!

Craig Raynor

It’s the great people involved with Model Ts that lead me to purchase one.I have owned collecter cars starting in 1983 with my first one, a 1955 Chevy Nomad.I must say it’s the Model T community that has been the best all around group of folks to associate/work with weather for help with technical a...

Craig Raynor

So sorry to hear of your great loss!Our family will have yours in our dinner prayers.

Craig Raynor

Thank you for the information

Craig Raynor

He drive truck cross country and didn’t want to get caught if the need arises.So this sounds like like something that was passed into law wondering if it’s actually enforced at this time?

Craig Raynor

I just had my son who is a truck driver ask if I knew of a law in Sacramento County that states you cannot work on your own auto is this true? Also is it enforced?

Craig Raynor

Craig Raynor

I my 15 Canadian touring has the original radiator in it this picture shows the stamped numbers and it had engine number C631_ _. I also found these body numbers stamped on body the inside drivers door. Hope you find this helpful.

Craig Raynor

That video of the kids receiving the car body and giving credit to all those who helped along the way is exactly why I continue with my interest in the model T part of the collector car hobby. I started in the car hobby in 1983 with a 1955 Chevy Nomad power pack car. Like many people here I have had...

Craig Raynor

Thanks for the replies and the link to the old posts was interesting. I was at Bill Calimers shop yesterday and he was unsure who’s mark this is as well. Still somewhat new to the Modle T and always looking to learn anything about them.

Craig Raynor

I sandblasted a couple of hubs and found this mark on the inside of one. I asked a friend he has not seen it eather.Any thought on who or what company may have used this Mark?

Craig Raynor

Need to make one of those glad you posted that because I need to do that for both cars.

Craig Raynor

Thanks for the help!

Craig Raynor

Did not mean to move in on this thread but I do want to say here that I plan a trip up to Lang’s for some other parts but I will definitely pick up the recommendation made here for rear end fluid.

Craig Raynor

I was wondering that also how much but also what?I am going to rebuild a 15 rear axel later this month. I spent yesterday cleaning and getting the sand ready for sandblasting. I was wondering what’s the best gear oil to put into it I was told once a while back that this was the right stuff. What do ...
