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!

I'm guessing it plays out like this. Serious collectors at a tractor/engine sale. Chips on a pile waiting to buy a big prairie tractor. Can't wait to take the grandkids on a ride. Oops! Pile not even close. Disappointed! Wait, cool old car! Can haul grandkids and their friends. Fun factor played int...

See if this works.

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!

Michael Peternell

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

Michael Peternell

I'll take it!

Michael Peternell

Proof I'm to new to comment. But I did learn something! Good day!

Michael Peternell

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

Michael Peternell

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

Michael Peternell

Will do.
Thanks!
Mike Peternell

Michael Peternell

I sent you an email a week or so. I'll take one.
Maybe check your junk email.
Thanks
Mike Peternell

Michael Peternell

Email sent sir.
You can let me know. Thanks
Mike Peternell

Michael Peternell

Ttt. Anyone?

Michael Peternell

Bump. I figured someone had a set done but went to demountables for convenience? Maybe just wishful thinking.

Michael Peternell

Just fishing. If anyone has a set of 4 that were recently respoked and you replaced with demountables?
Sending mine to Stutzman's unless I can find some.
Thanks for your consideration!
Mike Peternell

Michael Peternell

Thanks so much for the pictures Steve. I've always appreciated your posts on the site! It would be nice to see a picture of
one on a car from that era. Still

.

Michael Peternell

Thanks for the pictures! Speedometer pictures included as that is also being installed.
I kinda figured it was up to personal preference. A period photo would be really cool. Just fishing

.
Thanks again for your consideration!
Mike Peternell

Michael Peternell

Examples appreciated!
Thanks!

Michael Peternell

I would like to install a period correct clock in my '15 T. Is there such a thing as a proper location?
Thanks for your consideration.
Mike Peternell

Michael Peternell

A friend of mine spotted this on the top of the front seat riser. Sent the picture to
Duey C and he identified it as Beaudette.
Thanks for looking! Comments appreciated!
Mike Peternell

Michael Peternell

Email sent to Dan.

Michael Peternell

No worries Scott.
In a year the top will match the existing paint. I'll make a point of it. These are a couple of my restored T's.

Michael Peternell

Thanks for all the responses! The top had no real patina. I would have been all over saving that. No tattered or worn edges from years of use. Just a lot of dust and dirt on top of it. I do appreciate your comment Scott on saving patina. I would have spent a lot of time massaging a '70's installed t...

Michael Peternell

Well it looks like you all saved me from a grand day of experimenting trying to find the miracle alixor to condition my top!
So next question is where to source a new top?

Michael Peternell

Thanks for the suggestions! Thanks Mike for explaining the science behind it!

Michael Peternell

The top of my newly acquired T hasn't had the top up in 40 years or so. I'm at least 4" to 5" short of the windshield.
Is there any kind of conditioner/ treatment/ technique to get it re-stretched? Thanks for your consideration.
Mike Peternell

Michael Peternell

Staude conversation with auxiliary lights!

Michael Peternell

got this today from the second owners wife.

Michael Peternell

Wow!!!
That site is almost scary. Gave me a working phone number first try!

Michael Peternell

Thanks Eric!
I'll give it a try.

Michael Peternell

Thanks Scott,
I agree it would look better. That style original to the car?
I was also hoping someone would remember the Tanton name
from the Wichita KS area. Someone used this car, and toured it
from what I was told. Fixed as needed. Any of you KS. People recall?

Michael Peternell

I looked the body over and still haven't found any kind of identifying markings.
Both front and back seat risers are steel. I did find this in the car today.
Thanks again for looking!

Michael Peternell

Very cool! I can see the finished product!

Michael Peternell

You guys are awesome! I haven't got back to looking for a body mark but I can tell you the seat riser is metal. Don't know if that helps you guru's.
I so appreciate you folks taking the time to educate me!

Michael Peternell

Serial number is 573198. I couldn't find anything on the threshold. Where else should I be looking?
Thanks for the help!!

Michael Peternell

Thanks Duey! It really wasn't a big deal. Kinda like sending your virgin daughter to the prom at the local naval academy!

Michael Peternell

Thanks Scott! Never heard early T's had body numbers dating them. So cool! I'll check it out tomorrow and let you know. Thanks again for the education! Something taken for granted what we get from this computer age. If I wanted to be educated in anything 25 years ago l would have had to pay good mon...

Michael Peternell

Thanks for all your comments guys! I've learned more about a '15 T in the last couple of days then I thought possible! My plan is to get it back running and have fun with it. Not sure what to do with the bottom side being in primer. Bomb it with flat black muffler paint? I also believe the light swi...

I have become the new caretaker of this car. I was told it was "fixed up in the seventies" I have the Kansas title with the name of Tanton on it. Looking for any information on its history. I would also appreciate any and all comments critiquing the car! I told my buddy Duey C that I wouldn't throw ...

Michael Peternell

Now that is a

!!! If you're into accessorie kind of things!

Michael Peternell

Looking for steering gear cover and quadrant proper to a 1914 T.
If someone wants to bring one along to Cameron's that would be great!
Thanks for looking!
Mike Peternell

Michael Peternell

Almost forgot . Steering case/ quadrant. 1914 or so.

Michael Peternell

Looking forward to it! Little wish list. Accessories, brass carbs even if not Model T, and if the gentleman that I bought the little generator thing from ( not model T) bring the other one you mentioned you had.

Michael Peternell

I'm going to guess for a tractor conversion. Shaw offered different configurations/ Wheel spacings.

Michael Peternell

See Mecum auctions. You could be the next owner!

Michael Peternell

It's the accessory mounted in front of the engine. You ran a flat belt off it to power
a corn grinder or other such implements. There was a thread showing one type in
the 2014 forum. I'm not smart enough to post it.

Michael Peternell

Subject says it. Most were mounted on the front.

Michael Peternell

I used to haul heavy equipment in and out of Stibnite. Not for the faint of heart!
Owner of the company rode in one time with the job sup.
sat on the floor of the pickup for a lot of the drive.
Couldn't stand looking out the windows!

Michael Peternell

Cafe.

Michael Peternell

Now I get the picture in front of Jill's care!!

Michael Peternell

Or Yellow Pine?

Michael Peternell

I'm sure an odd question. Anyone drove there t to Stibnite Idaho?

Michael Peternell

Any info on the auction itself? I have a friend with one. My brothers and I have a Jeffery quad truck. Any info would be appreciated!

Michael Peternell

Any other pictures?

Michael Peternell

Super rare! Guessing it's a one of. Not one of 100. Way less. One of 10 known?

Michael Peternell

Camel beige I believe they call it. Had to be the same one that Duey saw. Caught up to it on North shore drive. Made a right at the light towards the beach.
Looked super fresh!. Very nice looking car!

Michael Peternell

Pretty sure we're on the same page. I agree with not throwing parts at it until it's fixed!

Michael Peternell

Gotta say I'm with Scott on this. I'm definitely not even considered as a model t guy. But if found this in the transmission of anything old piece of equipment I owned and the insides showed that kind of abrasion going on I'm pretty sure l wouldn't tear apart the Rear end to see what was wrong. Coul...

Michael Peternell

I also saw the tan T. It turned towards the lake at the light. That's a peach! The one in Monti was a project! Met it at the light on top of the hill.
Went by to quick to get a good look. The one in Glenwood was very fresh! Very sweet!

Michael Peternell

I met a model T project loaded on a trailer going through Montevideo
today. Just curious if it was a fellow members hauling one home?

Michael Peternell

I must say some time's it's maddening trying to load a picture.

Michael Peternell

A little more advertising.

Michael Peternell

Sorry about the duplicate. Figured I'd help if I could.
