That’s the same argument some folks had
when the Interweb started.

They believe all their information should
be contained in “ The Vintage Ford. “

If someone does not want to attend an event
in person - if they use the Interweb to seek
out information posted by others as a
courtesy - those folks should be prepared
to go where that information...

Scott,
Is that the same as electrical BX cable cover?

everything seems to just turn into a mini nightmare and every time I buy something or get machining done, it goes wrong in some way; the new bent Scat crank was just one small episode in a list of silly problems.

Welcome to the reality of the hobby.
Model T mechanical's are a can of worms.
Isnt that to be expected on a 100 + year old thing that...

There was a 3 day auction in October I think, but this seems to be another auction. Does anyone know how Mark made his money?

Todd,

I sent you an email.

If you had storage space, It would be easier to have two vehicles and only one engine and swap the engine back and forth.

You still need lots of space to store the other rear end and drive shaft assembly, plus center axle, if you are going to switch out the snowmbile parts.

John, If the oil hole is on the bottom, will it allow a lot more oil to flow through the 4th main going up hills? I understand from a discussion with Gene French that many 4th mains have no hole.

Possibly a little bit more. Not a lot more since oil still enters around the mains open end. Also the spinning spring retainer cup shields the end...

Push pins are your friend, they allow you to easily shift the material before you staple or tack it down for good. :)

Here you go Tim, sorry for the delay but I’ve been busy with Dr. Appointments most of the day..! I also sent you an email with my ph# and emai address.

Who'd-a guessed?

I DID! Literally 30 minutes after you asked. :lol: :)

Jerry...you're kidding!!?!
What's the odds? :lol:

Pretty good I guess...

From my angle… it looks like the glass is too big😉

It's that kind of thinking that almost ruined this country! :)

Actually, that's thinking like an engineer ;)

If only these vehicles could talk, the stories they would tell!

Curious that one VR can work for 6, 12, and 24 volt systems? I’m no electrical engineer but that just doesn’t sound right to me.

Because ITS NOT A VOLTAGE REGULATOR. Its an electronic cutout. Can be built with one diode.
I have made my own. One selects a diode that covers the voltage /amp output maximum output from the generator.
Like 40V, 50...

I wanna go on that tour so so bad! But the 4 day drive out and another back with hotels and fuel its just too much cost for me.

Do your homework Steve! 1915 brackets are all by themselves. I think they are being reproduced in brass. You may luck out and find an original. I bought a NOS original from Alvin Anderson back in the sixties for $3! How many of you remember him?

There is nothing like the originals! A simple 3/16 cable to an equalizer, and a clamp to the standard brake pedal. The new ones work well, but why did Jack Sunderlin do it this way? He started off making them correctly, but got side tracked and thought all equalizers were alike, and that is why they now use the Bennett style equalizer. If he would...

Another change on the 1918 rear housing is they lowered the filling plug.

Don Lang had a real nice one at Hershey a few years back. Dan Killecut owns it now.

Another one.

That is interesting… The illustration of 3833 & 3833b is from a ‘29 parts book, so should be the latest (most recent) variation of that part. I was going to try mine in a late crossmember, but didn’t because it is an exact match to the illustration.

So apparently, the one you have that is long enough for a 9 leaf spring but that will not fit a...

I am uncertain regarding the question of running aluminum rod directly on the steel crankshaft rod throw ... many small engines and air compressors do exactly that ... i have re-babbitted aluminum connecting rods for Lycoming ( Auburn ) engines , so the rods can be babbitted ... regarding the wristpin end ... this is bored to wristpin diameter and...

I would like to see some pics

Good advice - all. Thanks ! I was given the correct muffler shell kit for an earlier ‘3 bolt’ muffler and truthfully didn’t know there was a difference in it and the later ‘1 bolt’ kit. So I called the “delivery boy”, Steve Lang, who delivered my parts to Chickasha. He said both of these kits are made by Snyders and there is, indeed, a difference...

Is this priced too high?

You mean those things people use to wear grooves in their steering linkages?
Fix your steering and get rid of them. :)

I agree. Stupid band aid approach.

I have not received a message from you yet. I will send a picture of the right side fender that I have to match. Thanks for the help.

I hope the overfill isn't from coolant or fuel leaking into the pan.

Oil: Yes, that will be fine.

Oil sight gauge: No. It sometimes appears full when it's empty. If it gets broken or develops a leak you lose your oil. I clamp a piece of clear plastic tubing on the petcocks and only open them when I'm checking the level. When it gets down to...

As the saying goes, welcome to the affliction.
This forum is a great source of information, and here are some others:

When I started seeing the landscape and portrait designations in recent years I was mystified, but eventually figured out they mean horizontal and vertical . (When did we adopt the British term roundabout for traffic circles? And start saying graduate high school and year anniversary ?)

Anyway, when I have a vertical photo show up turned...

I used Photoshop. These pictures interest me since I am working on a 1912 Commercial Roadster with the mother-in-law seat. I have been a photographer since I was 14 (I am 67 now) and have spent hours and hours in darkrooms, etc. I know the old school photography well including the chemistry. What happens to these old photos is that the image may...

Thanks Bob.

This is the 2001 SCI-FI movie that turned to be was a predictor in the direction we’re going.
It’s closer than you think.

Use to be able to post pic from my phone without doing anything ,don't know why I had to start resizing

Karen and I are also interested in going so keep us in the loop.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend and fellow Model T'er. I hope that you will find a photo and post it as he requested.

I retired after 25 years driving a semi for one of the two largest package delivery companies. We were well trained to perform a through pretrip inspection and allowed twenty minutes to do so at the start of each shift. Unfortunately some drivers would rather spend that time BSing with other drivers.

It is a habit that continues in my...

Those ring thingy's with the 4 internal tabs (I see 5 units) are bendix drive counterweights.
They have some value to a bendix restorer. Not to be arbitrarily pitched.

Just to add a little more info, this mic is for use on a 1.125 diameter boring bar. It can be used for a smaller bar by making shoes to reduce the diameter of the bridge that sits on the bar. I have one set up this way that I use with a 3/4 boring bar.

Looks very much like 1932 Cadillac Lasalle handles

My dad straightened many pans without a jig. The jig doesn't straighten the pan, it only tells you when or if it's straight. (I know the jig can also act as an anvil in the straightening process. I'm not saying it isn't a valuable tool.) I wouldn't be surprised if the pan in the photo went from the press to a jig, to check their progress.

These are sold pending payment. I have not checked the forum in a few days. Ted if the sale falls through I will give you a call, but other buyer contacted me first. Thanks

Sorry I sold it to a local friend before I saw your message. Thanks for your interest and if you are looking for anything else just let me know. Thanks so much and sorry about that. - Alex

To prevent leaks I use clear RTV on my hose connections. It seals the connection and prevents corrosion. When you want to remove the hose simply twist and it comes right off.

Do you put the rtv inside the hose?

on the part the hose goes over.

And here I thought it was a rough town? Not that I would want to be too abrasive about it?

I remember real money.... coins with intrinsic value and paper currency redeemable for silver or gold.

Look at a map some time, we have them past Portland Oregon in the Willamette river and below Bonniville Dam in the Columbia. ;)

I could be wrong but I think the book is blank.

I have many early auto books but only a few with trip details filled in and I don’t wish to sell them.

Sorry I can’t help you.
