That's very interesting, Keith. My Oct-Nov 1911 car has this type, believed to be originals. .

This is the hose Larry is referring to. It is red with the "cloth" pattern on the outside, 7/16" OD and 1/4" ID.

I had to make one for doing Model A and Model B connecting rods. I wanted some versatility to do others so it is probably a little more complicated than need be. I also wanted a fairly rigid setup and the ability to take several lighter cuts rather than hog out the groove(s) in one pass. It works ve...

Scott - That is correct. The point is that the crank does bow a little in the setup, at least with this machine which has a spring loaded tailstock spindle, a feature of the machine to control this "squeeze" on the shaft before locking it down.

The damn thing tells me it cannot determine the sizes of the images so rejects the posts. Nearly all of m...

The stakes used on the 88-A Model AA truck were a carryover from the TT. You may be able to round some up with a want ad on the Model A club (or Fordbarn) website. Neil Wilson has a very detailed page regarding the AA platform and grain bodies showing the stake details. Copy and paste this link. htt...

From McCalley's book, page 557: "MAR 31 ( 1915) (Acc. 509, Letter) Flanged rings with felt packing supplied for oil side and tail lamps to prevent their being blown out. The problem was noted in a letter of March 27, at which time the factory noted that they were shipping felts only for in-the-field...

To answer Ken's question. They are brass castings.

Found a top frame for the 1925 pickup.
