I purchased a 1926 Model TT in August and have it running but, it is in need of repair to the axle yoke where the spindle mounts as the top holes are worn oversize and on one side the threads are completely gone.

I'm in the Portland, Oregon area and am looking for either someone within an hour of me that has a Stephens tool that can assist me...

Chris Egsgaard’s 1973 Long Beach champ is coming back together.

See picture, top axle is Model T, bottom looks exactly like a T but shorter. It has not been cut or welded. Is it for a clown car? How about a FWD conversion? Opinions please!

There are some wonderful pictures folks have posted of their cars, but there should be more. There's only one 1910, and for a lot of years there are fewer than ten pictures. If you haven't yet posted a photo of your Model T, why not make that a project?

While I'm not interested in buying one, VW has an interesting TV ad running. It says, Most people want to know how fast their car will go from 0 to 60. Isn't it more important to know how fast your car will go from 60 to 0?

Certainly, this is a much more meaningful question, one that I think Henry Ford overlooked. :lol:

Here is a cool item. ( the gas stick shown in the pictures is courtesy of Dave’s Restoration and Machine LLC , makers of THE BEST T transmission drums available ). Installed in the tank, it takes just a lift of the lever and and float will cause the post to float up, showing how many gallons remain. Never need to use match or lighter again, so the...

I'm sure something has already been posted, but has anyone ever hooked up the emergency brake system to assist the regular service brake. I'm thinking a connection from the pedal to a cross shaft with rods and slots connected to the E brake rods. Bruce

I purchased a new rear axle from the supplier in Texas about 7 years ago. It was the axle that is machined the entire length. I needed that feature because it was to be used in a Perfecto. Now that the Perfect is in the car and I am installing the hubs, I see the keyway is too wide. It measures .256 . The key measures .248 wide. What do folks do ,...

Did anyone take a picture? Did anyone like it? I would like to know what it is. Thank you

Rutting season has started here in Central Virginia. We have too many deer. I often drive between midnight and 4:00 a.m. and I have seen deer four out of my last five drives. I just got back from the gym and saw two groups of three, one standing on the side of the road and the other standing IN the road. I slowed to a crawl and the ones in the...

How do you remove and install 27 brake shoes? I can't remove the spring much less reinstall it after the shoe is fitted over the tabs and the brake cam.

I bought a Model T at Hershey and in some of the boxes were these items. Just curious, what are they and do they belong on a Model T.

This 1927 Touring was owned by a deceased member of the Centennial Model T Club of Omaha. The engine and transmission were rebuilt by a shop in Omaha, including new pistons, rods, all new babit , valves and more. New bushings were installed in the transmission and the transmission bands were replaced.
The rear end was taken out and rebuilt, along...

We in India are restoring a Ford Model T Town car. We have two questions regarding the spare wheel.

1. Did the town cars have spare wheels which was mounted on the side?
2. In some discussions which we came across, the town cars never had any mounted spare wheels.

Please clarify which of the above is correct.

I have a rusty tailgate, but other than that my '88 Ford Bronco is in pretty good shape. Even the radiator supports aren't super bad.

There is a whole lot of surface rust all over underneath, though. I was wondering if I could wire-wheel it off and paint it with something to protect it. Is that worth bothering with? If so, what should I use?

HeyBud. I would like to see your post on the Model A if you dont mind. Might be interesting. I never use that OT section anyway.
