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

Michael Peternell

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?

Michael Peternell

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.

Michael Peternell

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. But it would seem like the poor car is getting left behind. And I'm not talking about them becoming obsolete by 1927. Just last wee...

Hello I am glad some one is happy with "Smith and Jones". A few years back I ordered a $9.95 book from them which shipping weight was about 6oz.I was charged $13(+/-) shipping. When I called about the shipping charge I was told "If you do not like the charge then do not buy from us". and they hung ...

Michael Peternell

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. Would be an awesome build for someone! I remember the picture being posted before. It was long enough ago I thought ...

Michael Peternell

Decalled a T! Didn't do a search on the site but guessing not many post's.

Michael Peternell

Watch out Mr Jelf,
If you get any calls from Zip Strip call an attorney!

Michael Peternell

Oh gosh Mr Jelf! A sweaty shirt did that!

Michael Peternell

Well...... I disassembled the rockers and pulled the lifters “roller type”, cleaned and greased. Very little to no moisture pits. All the valves as were the lifters were either sticky or stuck. Everything went together nicely. Tried to crank engine, it’s still stuck. I think my next step is to drop...

Michael Peternell

Thanks Michael. Very happy to have this power unit injected into this puzzle. :) Of course it doesn't run. Stuck. Valves are all loose tho. Rod, nice 8N. And a working tractor! :) I think I can dare post this... Last piece in my very centric puzzle. "Eccentric" if you're like me. ;) Early 20-35 Twi...

Michael Peternell

All in fun! But got a visual in my mind's eye. Now that would be patina! A little blood and guts on the edges. Again I apologise!

Michael Peternell

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.

Michael Peternell

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!

Michael Peternell

I took the new owners to check out their car. Doesn't seem to be any buyers remorse!

Michael Peternell

I am just finishing a pretty thorough restoration on my Model T go cart. I would not consider myself an expert, but have had mine completely torn down and put back together. What kind of questions did you have? Mostly along the lines of history and who made them. No real mechanical questions but th...

Michael Peternell

There was a company in the late 50's and 60's that were making these shriner cars, Briggs motor, can't remember all the details... but no T's were harmed during the operatation of these vehicles. Pretty sure you are are spot on. Guy I bought from dated it by the engine his brother rebuilt. ' 78. ??...

Michael Peternell

Got one today. Did a bit googling, mostly complete. Guessing like most things someone knows everything about these.

Michael Peternell

Mine is waiting for an engine in the works. No hitch to show. Powered by a 625 watt bulb for now.

This tractor is a unique homemade tractor but it is not a commercially manufactured attachment or conversion.

You are very correct! But if Emerson ever built a conversion that would be it.

Michael Peternell

Shot in the dark, but hoping there's a Shiner T guru in our bunch. Anyone?

Michael Peternell

Parked in a abandoned silo for an hour? Or there's a seriously pissed off pigeon. Did you call a pigeons mom a bad name?

Michael, could we look Into it next year?

That would be great! Looking forward to hearing from you folks next year!

Michael Peternell

Very cool! Please post a few more pics of the oil end. Put a small glass oiler on it for priming. Uber cool on a speedster.

Michael Peternell

Hope this doesn't post twice. If you folks can find the Albany pioneer grounds I'll open the buildings! About 12 miles north of that biker bar you mentioned!

Michael Peternell

If you folks want to find to find the pioneer grounds in Albany. About 25 miles north. I'll open up the buildings. We had to cancel our show so it would be great to have people come and look anyway!

Michael Peternell

I can almost hear it! Amish drive by shooting. TT paddy wagon in hot pursuit! Klik klop klik klop bang! Gerr! Here I come. Pow bang floating valves!

Michael Peternell

Was the wire wheel in the foreground part of your haul? Are the other 3 hubs and wheel centers on the chassis? Acquiring a full set of hubs and wheel centers is 90% of the effort when it comes to converting a car to wire wheels. The rims are almost always toast, and don’t plan on using the spokes f...

Very cool power unit Duey!!

I know I can swing that! Dad would love it!

You're right Rudy! Don't think dad would let that one be adopted just yet!

Just saying. Any of the gentleman that are members are more than welcome to pick one to drive. Just have to show up the second weekend after labor day.. if you really want to come and play , there is a definite a adopt a play option!

Michael, Impressive group!!! Albany Pioneer Days is really something to look forward to.

My Grandpa's 27 D and sawmill.
This year I did some sawing on the 4th.

Hey there Michael, did that ‘ol reed venturi Tillotson downdraft ever work out for your dozer?? Or maybe just good for a few parts? Hope it went to good use... going to have time this year to try it. We cancelled the show a couple weeks ago! This covid thing is maddening. I do so appreciate you hel...

Michael Peternell

Gotta love this site/thread! Like asking what oil to use. Difference is not so much opinions but life lessons. So many great responses! Looking at the car I would assume wheels and rear axle have been taken care of.? I'm a serious newby also! Until recently all my T's had at least 2 steel wheels min...

Part of our collection.

Hey Rudy!
You are correct. Here in Minnesota we're still restricted to 250 people at a gathering. LOL!!!

You're between a rock and a hard place - trying to talk sense to an ex who doesn't get old cars and wants to use your kid and the old car hobby to "get back" at you is like tinkling into the wind...

Michael Peternell

I am also in the process of ordering an enclosed trailer. Some place there was a discussion and 7' 3" door and interior clearance was mentioned as a minimum for transporting a T. I can't find it back. Is 7' clearance enough? Seems that's more readily available.

Michael Peternell

Still looking!

Michael Peternell

Installed a wrong engine along with a right license plate. Getting the firewall bracket bolts and nuts are going to be a bit of a challenge on the starter side!

Michael Peternell

I'm looking for a Kansas or Minnesota plate. I have a Kansas '16 plate to trade or if you just have one you would sell let me know!
Thanks!
Mike Peternell

Michael Peternell

Good eye Mr Jelf! You are correct. I just haven't got around to fixing that. I'm hoping I can trade my '16 plate for a '15.

Michael Peternell

Reinstalled front and rear axles along with wheels and tires. All rebuilt. A huge thank you to Andy Loso! He did all of the rebuilding.
Wheels are from Stutzman's. I'm only the reinstallerr!

Michael Peternell

It was there pre 30 auction yesterday. Not savy enough to post the link.

Michael Peternell

Must have been really, really, really nice!
$24675.00

Michael Peternell

And I thought to myself yesterday.. I bet that stamp would really work good on a penny. Thanks Gary! Another million dollar idea smashed on the rocks!
All in fun! Rumor has it that if you go to your local south eastern mn soda swap meet they are free!

Michael Peternell

Thanks Duey! I'm sure you can appreciate the "it wasn't free" comment! I'm hoping Dan or someone can bird dog out the original purpose. Dad got it in Florida this winter. I got the whole "I probably paid to much for this, but if I can get my money back out of it I'd be okay with that" ! He could sel...

Michael Peternell

Awesome Dan!
You posted before I could reply! Way ahead of me.

Michael Peternell

My first thoughts also Dan. But it's very small. The hole on the brass plate is only 1/4" with a screw taper.
It would only cover the space of the width of the stud hole in your picture.
Thanks for the replies! I'm hoping someone will come up with the part number.
Thanks again !
Mike

Michael Peternell

Thanks to a father that collects everything, I became the caretaker of this piece. It wasn't free if you know my Dad!
Any information from you folks would be appreciated!

What do you think?
Thanks

Michael Peternell

I sent mine to osoloso in Minnesota. Kinda scetchty. Turns out he does great work! Almost free but not quite.

Michael Peternell

told it was a '15.

Michael Peternell

Just because no one suggested it. As long as his mom says it's okay I'd let him go.

Michael Peternell

Can I ask a simple question, and hope it doesn't draw too much ire.... Why would anyone want to PROMOTE rust? It NEVER sleeps, will cause body cancer, and eat through steel. I've worked all my old car and old machinery life to negate the result of iron Oxide... Yet people WANT to deliberately rust ...

Michael Peternell

Spot on Mark!
Worked like a charm!

Michael Peternell

Files download but I can't open them.
Maybe it's just me?

Michael Peternell

Very good to hear! Was looking forward to it. Bet it could get bigger then anticipated with everything else cancelled.
Nobody has had to spend any mad money! Again great to hear!

Michael Peternell

I saw both trailer and car were found. Sounds like good ending!

Michael Peternell

Was made by a backwoods accessories company. Here's a picture of a timber bumper accessory made by the same company.

Michael Peternell

Up here it's referred to as the three SSS. You even see bumper stickers. Part of the good old boy's wolf management plan.
Shoot, shovel, shut up.

Michael Peternell

I think Mr Furstnow's idea is awesome! Probably would lead to a bunch more arrests. Will do for sure!

Michael Peternell

I also fixed mine. Credit for the great observation/idea goes to Mr Jorgensen!

Michael Peternell

Just a thought. Was going through the pictures and post's of all these. What a great resources for information! Better yet if someone had the time to separate by year and/or state. Just a thought.

Michael Peternell

PM sent.
Thanks

Michael Peternell

Great to hear you're going to reschedule! I've only gone the last few years but now I look forward to it.

Michael Peternell

I googled columbus ga craigslist. Put Model T Ford in the search and it is the first listing.

Michael Peternell

Wow Andy! I'm surprised with all the foot traffic you get every day they didn't shut you down!

Michael Peternell

That's a peach! If it said Minnesota I'd be making a deal!

Michael Peternell

I'll take a tachometer only. Very cool! Excellent use of modern technology for something realatively simple!

1916 Kansas plate. Came with the'15 t I recently acquired.

I'm looking for a rebuildable '14 Nov Dec cast date block. Low head also needed. If you are going to Chickasha. Just saying.

Inline springs is somewhat unique. Too new to the whole car thing to even have a thought but not a common setup.

Will do.
