I believe my first dealings with Tim had to do with some Chicago transmissions. I believe I treated him fairly! Since then I've been treated unfairly! I've bought a bunch of stuff since then a get a better deal than most! I didn't say it was a bad unfair! Never met him in person but I think he's a g...

I put in a request for a new catalog a couple weeks ago, but still have not received one! I'm starting to think that maybe you have to order a part or something to get a catalog! Not that I see anything wrong with that though,....I'm sure that putting out a new catalog is a very time consuming and ...

Just got a tractor calendar sent from the east. Post marked 12/ 16/20!

Michael Peternell

If the "bracket" is associated with the bolts I believe it is called a frog. For a plow.

Michael Peternell

Just sent you an email Stan!

Michael Peternell

Hook 'em young!

Michael Peternell

Great work Stan!

Michael Peternell

Okay, I'll ask the question. Are we still talking about a splash lubed model T or the space shuttle?

Well the speedster project is running good and Im doing all the little things now. One of the things I finally hooked up was the "Craveroiler". It is a upper cylinder lubricator. I will be running Marvel Mystery Oil thru it. I had already tested it a few times. I was curious how hard it would be to...

Michael Peternell

looks like this! And it is definitely thicker than last year's. I kinda like alot of the vendor stuff in one spot! Way to go Lang's!!

Michael Peternell

Got mine yesterday also. Thick and just as much fun as the Sears Christmas catalog!

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what does NOS mean?

It's a somewhat newly coined term Jonah that seems to be car related. Be very cautious about buying NOS parts!
Somehow not as much guilt in lieying about the part being sold if described that way.

I do hope that engine will be married to that frame as is! A rusty nuts with big ball's restoration. I like that!

Ford never did paint or seal under the hub so you got to ask your self, will I live long enough to have to re-build the wheels a second time because you didn't. I was told by my father 50 years ago not to paint 4 sides of a fence board. It would rot out in no time. Saw it happen to overachievers lo...

Snagged a complete Stromberg MB-1 for a buy it now price of $65.00. Couldn't pull the trigger fast enough! Sent it directly to some guy in Montana
for rebuild.

The only thing I could add to Steve and Wayne's answer would be to pick it up by the nose. A little lift, pull forwards, lift , pull forwards, lift, pull forwards, half a twist and stick the landing! Got to do it twice in a month. Instant expert!

Michael Peternell

I'm interested!

Michael Peternell

Did it go local Bob?. Just curious. The body for the most part was new. Someone got a good deal! Hope to see it again running!

Michael Peternell

The Stromberg MB-1 was original equipment on the Cleveland 6 model 40 cars. The earlier overhead valve engine . Not sure about the
later flathead engine.

Good eye Rich!
15th from the end of 1919 production.

Whitebird pass. Driving lowboy grossing a couple hundred thousand pounds and looked down on single engine airplanes flying in the valley below.
Odd sensation.

Dan, I once heard a description "he's so dumb, he don't know if his ear holes are punched or bored" !

The way I heard it, it wasn't an ear hole!

Michael Peternell

That is a steal! Your offer of a discount to a young person is awesome! Maybe post it on a more hot rodder site? Kids look at what there dad's do.
You maybe able to bring one to the dark side! No distributor!

My example. Reassembled engine from 4 donor engines. Not exactly ideling. The man that did the work is running it. I'm the guy at the end smiling out loud!

Michael Peternell

If your stock engine can't idle a couple minutes without coolant before burning up you have a bigger issue than no coolant.

Michael Peternell

Why is everything I would like to have always on the opposite side of the continent. Just a frustrating thought. Frank Made me think. Google searched population Arizona 1915. Answer: hardly had a population. Kind of like looking for prairie tractor parts on the east coast but different. No offense ...

Michael Peternell

"Never" and "always" will never go unpunished. Said a wise mine to me! You nailed it Jeffery!

Michael Peternell

I get why the geometry of the wishbone on top is a bad design. Just asking if there are any recent examples of failure's on our modern day roads? In the day roads were a bit different. Just asking.

Well played Stan!

Michael Peternell

I did a quick search of the MTFCA sight for membership numbers. Estimated 7500 in 2018. So if half the membership threw in a 10 spot that's a $75,000.00 dollor donation! Seems like a no brainer to me!

Michael Peternell

Just think of nrg given off from our wives heat flashes. Not harnessed! Not funny I know. But my wife would give me the finger and laugh.

Michael Peternell

Oh gosh! Please don't! It took me a good part of a day the first time. A few weeks later only a couple hours.

Michael Peternell

Don't over think the "lift". A good pry bar and two 3/4" pieces of wood and two pieces of 1 3/4" wood. Neal's advice is spot on!

Michael Peternell

If the firewall is the same as a touring you will. The pan ears won't clear it. I believe there's another post discussing the same thing.

And what makes it a ‘14 ? The hood former perhaps or maybe the repop oil filler cap. So they made bitsas way back in the 50s too. Won't argue that a bit! Just that there's a lot of bitsas sold that brought a lot more with absolutely no provenance. I thought the chassis modifications were interestin...

Michael Peternell

Are you going to install the engine in the frame and roll the frame under the suspended body, or install the motor onto the frame with the body already mounted on the frame? I assume the latter, in which case, disconnect the body and all fuel and steering column connections from the frame and raise...

It looks exactly like the cheapest new Ford car you can buy today. Unless the company learned absolutely nothing from Henry.

Michael Peternell

That's fascinating. Weet je nog wel, oudje? What strikes me in this film is the same thing I see in films from that period in the U.S. Pedestrians seem constantly to be wandering into the street and crossing the street, picking their way among the moving motorized vehicles. Also children who today ...

Lot's of Cleveland hubcaps around. I've never seen a brass one! Very cool!

Yes it did! They were also the first car's I ever collected. I truly thank for the opportunity Rudy! Without the little nudge from you I'd probably still be a tractor/engine guy! I'm really starting to like this automotive thing. Doesn't take a lowboy to move your toys! You start mowing the grass ye...

Hope all is well with Jay and his tribe. I've spent more than I should have from him. Made this comment before. The only thing wrong with Jay's stuff is it has no shelf life! Better get it when you see it.

I got a pair of them a few years back. A bit rough.

Three parts engines later and a great friend l have this.https://youtu.be/NKyQ_twyPMA

Michael Peternell

My first thought is if it actually evaporated out of the tank it would be a lacquered up mess. Both tank and carb. IMHO.

Michael Peternell

Gonna happen Rudy! We talked about it this weekend!

Very cool Mr Anderson. What is the new build?

This is a great swap. I travel 300 miles to be there. If the weather is good, lots of good rust shows up.

Hey Steve!
You should bring along some of your extra goodies and Rudy too!

Ouch! Says everyone that baught a full set roached for the same money at a flea market!

Zoomed in a bit, cool radiator for sure! Got a smudge of JB Weld on it. Should wipe off with a tissue. Seriously an interesting radiator! Great for tractor conversion!

Gas pedals? What gas pedals?

I'm asking about the gear noise. The first one I purchased center gear was really worn/ sharp. Replaced it with a very good one. Less noise, but still some.
Pumped it full of grease helped a bunch. Still a bit of noise. I have nothing to compare it to. Any insight would be appreciated!

Michael Peternell

I get around a bit in Minnesota. I'll try and get some updated pictures. My '17 jetta just turned 205,000.
Awesome pictures! Story about the pictures origination?

I just had my original sign redone on my 1916 Ford garage in Kenyon Mn. It was completed yesterday by Mike Meyer signs from Mazeppa , Mn. Note the sign is exactly as it appeared in 1916 including the colors and size. It features Firestone red sidewall, black tread tires.

Very cool Bob!

Michael Peternell

Very cool!

Really fishing here. There was an older couple there who had a pair of rebuilt DU4 Bosch magnetos. I believe they were from out of state.
Anyone remember or know them? Might have been from Nebraska?
Thanks for your consideration.

Funny you should mention that!. This also will not be on display at Pioneer Day's.

Not sure if it's even Model T related. Bought it from a great friend that didn't come to Albany Pioneer day's this weekend.
Your thoughts on it's original purpose?

I am a General Contractor. I am booked out through next June. When this COVID business hit, people stayed home more, saw work they wanted done, and set my phone on fire. It's been insane. On top of that, since I employ vets, I called my vet recruiters with various agencies. All have been pulled off...

Michael Peternell

If it has original decals almost has to be NOS. Restoration externally would devalue IMHO. Nice piece!

Michael Peternell

In the Stutzman thread on the General Discussion forum, Steve Jelf made the comment that something was "pretty far-fetched." My grandfather often used the expression (generally in response to something I had told him). I still use it occasionally, but probably not as often as it was used in days pa...

Hauled big dozers and equipment out of Stibnite to a job in Salmon Idaho. As the crow flies not that far, as the lowboy goes along ways!
One of the prettiest parts of our country! Unless you're grossing a couple hundred thousand pounds! Both were breathtaking!

Michael Peternell

Lol! Did the train museum and ride than drove a couple miles and watched a ship go through. Aquarium in the morning!
Model T mind's must think alike!

Michael Peternell

Taking wife and kids up north this weekend. Any T guys in the area with things to suggest?
Tried googling things but everything is adds. Looking for local insight.

Michael Peternell

So Mr Weiss, inquiring minds want to know. What's the manufacturer? My guess monkey Ward's?

Michael Peternell

Your gears are in great shape. One tooth light and a flange heavy for Shaw. Worth twice what you are asking if the right guy wants them.

New Shaw gears. I do not have any for sale. Not trying to highjack an add!

Michael Peternell

Newbie question to add a twist. Rubber on the road when stopping. Not much there? Has to a point of diminishing returns.

I know that Model T Fords are the pride and joy of hundreds of thousands of owners today. They are driven regularly, cared for, and shown off every day by many people.

Love the compressor drive on the rear wheel. Agreed! I would assume the wheel would be jacked up and the compressor ran. Photo appears to show the belt off the pulley so a bit posed.

Personally if posted and I want it I'll pm or email. Cool new repops are fun to say I'll take one ! Be sure to follow through. That said, anything more than a few hundred dollars doesn't need to be posted unless you're trying to impress someone.

Awesome workmanship!

Michael Peternell

Very well built! Check out the front axle. Definitely not a half scale model of it but a serious
attempt was made!
