Hi, on my 1922 Model T a previous owner have exchanged the original all-steel starting crank with the older one with a nice aluminium handle.
It's much better to use for hand cranking, so I want one for my 1921 Model T as well - if I can find one to a decent price.

Hello,

New member here from Columbus Ohio. I recently came upon an opportunity to own one of two 1925 model T's. The cost is the same for me, one is a Depot Hack that appears to have started life as a tudor or fordor and hasn't run for 2 years or so. The other is a touring car that I do not have any pictures of yet, but it should be in relatively...

I know many of you also work on A’s, so I figured I might get a quick answer here.

I’m looking for a paint code for the green that was used on Model A engines. I don’t have a good sample to match. Please post it here and / or email me. Thanks!

I stopped at my friends auto parts/starter,generator, alternator repair store this morning, just to say hi. He said he had something for me and pointed to two T starters, and a generator on the floor. He said a fellow brought them in and asked if they wanted them, otherwise they were going to scrap! My friend said he knew someone with two T's who...

How much wear is too much on a u-joint before it is worn out?

Hi,

I understand from reading a few posts that the subject of testing and setting Model T coils can be somewhat complicated...

Hopefully this post won't muddy the water, however I see that there are several methodologies of setting the coils/contacts ranging from the original hand-cranked machines, through a basic average reading current meter,...

I want to replace some wrist pin bushings in the cast pistons of a 26 engine.I just bought the bushings on Ebay for 20 bucks free shipping. I am reading about a reamer is not good and honing to fit is best. Is this done with a brake cylinder hone or what?
thanks for your help

I’ve always been searching for the elusive Henry Ford bust hood ornament, but great examples have been few and far between. The ones that do surface, show that they did not age or weather well. Recently I was able to get an extremely nice one, and it was a young mans family heirloom , handed down from his grandfather. Not being a model T owner, he...

Hi all, My 1925 engine starts fine, while underway on both battery and magneto it runs poorly. Misses, hesitates, sluggish acceleration. Commutator is clean and as far as I can tell the commutator angle is correct. Was running fine for over a year, nothing changed recently. Coils rebuilt several years ago. How do I start troubleshooting? -- IV

This is an authentic copy of an original era accessory , a spring loaded oil can holder that can mount on your car. In the following pictures, we show one without the finish so the details can be seen a bit better. I’ve also seen them mounted inside tool boxes, to keep the oil can safe, secure and not tip over. I’ve seen them mounted to the hood...

Are there still any good tire discount deals with any of the T tire vendors? I think there some big discounts or incentives a month or so ago, are those still available. Looking for for new set of 30x3.5 clincher tires. Thanks, Mike

How many T owners use a Ford Faithful transmission inspection door auxiliary oiling kit; either an original or a new reproduction? I know that many are going to say forget it and use one of the new high volume kits that require drilling the hogshead, but if you don't want to ruin a hogshead and you want to be period correct, one of these is a...

I have reluctantly decided to part with my 1921 Express Delivery. The vehicle is currently registered (California) and has been completely restored down to the last nut and bolt. This vehicle is turn key and ready to tour with less than 500 miles use since restoration. Stored inside with car cover included. Located in Lake Elsinore, California....

What is the proper dimension of the holes for the oilers? Or what is the proper way to install the flip top reproductions? They seem to be to big to tap into the original holes.

I try to minimize these types of posts but I have no clue on these brackets. Iif somebody knows what they were meant for, much appreciated. I'm helping a buddy on his Model T project and these came with it. Just sorting things out. Thanks in advance.

Questions for those who know speedometers.

What kinds of speedometers would have been used on an 18 roadster? (no dash to mount it to).
Is there someone in the club who rebuilds and sells complete setups including cables and gears?

Anyone have photos to share of what some of these would look like installed on a roadster without a dash?

Thanks...

Howdy, Folks -- I'm building a '15 Runabout for myself, and I need a few parts which I thought I had. I know I had them at one time, but they seem to have wandered off. I probably used them for another project and just forgot about it.

I trial fitted my radiator on my 1911 that has the engine and front spring already installed and of course the front cross member has spread and the outside of the frame is 23 1/4 so the radiator will not fit down over the frame and the radiator mounting holes are also too far apart.

Ray Wells thinks it has been 40 years they have known each other - that seems to be right around the average friendship - so KD has to be at least 89 years old ... :(
