Hi All,
Long time lurker, reader, and researcher, first time poster

I've been doing the Model A thing for almost 20 years with a 1928 Phaeton and 1931 CCPU so I thought I had ol' Henry figured out, but the Model T seems to be a different beast.

I am working on a what I thought was a 1923 Model T Roadster (with the wooden pickup bed accessory...

I’m looking into why the magneto isn’t working on my ‘26. I’ve checked the post and it was fine. I just now checked the endplay and it seemed fairly significant to me. It’s an exaggeration, but I would say it’s nearly 1/8”. That’s just a guess. The black book talks about an oversized bearing endcap. Do they still make those? Lang’s only shows a...

I'm having a brain cramp, what book lists the various bolt sizes used on a Model T chassis and body? Thanks, Art

I have 4 headlamp sockets for 1915 or 1916 Model T’s. These differ from the later ones in that the pins are 90 degrees off. This was done to align the filament horizontally to allow the headlamp to be focused. Note the later socket in the middle of the picture. The focus screw for the 1915/16 is at the top of the light bulb, not to the side of the...

Hi everyone,
Just completed going through the entire Ruckstell in a ,26 Tudor that also has a Warford transmission.

Do you guys have a source for 21 tires other than Lang's or Snyders? Just curios if I'm missing something.

I saw a guy sell his rims and tires here but missed it dang it ;-)

I recently inherited a good 17 engine sitting on a garbage late production chassis. I have been halfway looking for the bits to make make something usable out of this chassis but it needs everything. It would be easier to locate something better than it would be to find everything that this is needing. I just thought that I'd ask if anyone within...

This wheel/star with 6 holes is attached to the original choke arm where the wire goes. What is its purpose? It doesn’t spin, it has raised areas that lock it in place.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the 1911/12 Town Car which is on facebook. This vehicle is in excellent original condition and must have been stored in a very friendly envionment for over 100 years. Their was a video showing the outside and inside which is remarkable condition it has since been deleted My Town Car is very close to this vehicle...

I have a 16 valve Roof, believe it’s a model A with oval exhaust ports and two 8 valve Roofs, one has a single intake port and the other has two intake ports. Would like to know what they may be worth? They have all had some repairs done, the dual intake 8 valve may not be useable. I think the 16 valve and single port 8 valve are useable. Please...

Need some help!!
Anyone have a idea who made this radiator shell?
Picked up at a auction and would like to know more about it
Thanks for any help

I sold the Stevens Axle Tool and a person claiming to be me contacted the buyer. He wanted him to send him the money. He was calling from a 270-632-0562 number. I had several people interested so I don't know how he figured out who it was.

Hi everyone,
I just finished installing new axle shafts in a Ruckstell differential and I’m wondering if I did right to use anti seize on the tapers. Evidently there has been some debate on the matter. I also installed new hubs. Any thoughts appreciated!

I have two glass spare headlight reflectors. They are both the same diameter, but one is thicker and heavier than the other. Since the headlights are John Brown, I would assume the lighter one would be what was used. I'm not willing to remove the reflectors from either one of my '13s to find out!

I have a set of 5 brass T wire wheel hub caps & a set of brass, early block FORD caps available - $100 a set + the ride. Photos on request.

How does one remove the front seat cushion ( back) on a 27 touring?
This one was recently re upholstered, looks like the covering is stapled in place, if so does this require pulling all the staples and then replacing them?

Starting to thin out the collection - some duplicates & now need new homes - I've been looking at this stuff for over 40 years ! Open to reasonable offers.

I’m ready to put new sneakers on my ‘26 split rims and am considering going with 5.25-21. My engine is strong and I do have a Rux in this pickup.

Also, what’s the current opinion of the various brands that are...

More stuff - make an offer ! The Hassler springs & cups are powder coated. One of the early oil caps appears to have been nickel plated ?

Does this date really mean anything for a Model T or is it only because it is used on aircraft?
Why does it expire? Looks like vaseline in a tube.
Thank you.

Hey there Model T friends. This is my first post in a good while. As most of you know already, I own a 1926 TT. I have not driven my truck all that much in the past few years and that it=s due to one central reason. Almost every spoke out of the 48 on the car is loose. This looseness causes the truck to walk all over the place when I'm driving and...

Does anyone know if there’s a difference between Canadian coil boxes and US coil boxes. I have a 1922 Canadian tourer… the coil box needs rebuilt. The wood isn’t the correct thickness and when the lid is on I short out coils….

I either want to buy a rebuild kit, or maybe someone has a nice rebuilt one ready to go for me?

Thanks for your help!...

I know the 2nd owner started a partial restoration on Daisy in the mid/late 60's after being stored since 1935.
Cleaning up the wood on her, while the firewall is original, the hood boards are replacements built by Syverson Cabinet, from their Des Plaines location they vacated mid 60's.
Just some continuing interesting archeology......

Here are some Old School style rope type main seals that work good on T engines. One will do a T engine. These are about 6.5” long and 1/2” square. Fits the front seal just right.
