Gol-lee, only $240 ??

I’m in the buffalo (really bison) nickel camp. Do it right with the #2 permatex and it’ll add class and never leak. I have a Folger coffee can full of ‘em. Use 1 stamp to send me 2 and I’ll mail you 3 buffalo nickels

Yes and Yes...Yes, the distributor advantage is if you’re caught out in a frog stranglin rain. Coil box more likely to short out…. Yes,…keep it running right with Henry Ford Model T components.

Yep… I have one too…

Good news !! I especially like the plans to return to Parkerfield in February. Glad your recovery is progressing so positively. Happy New Year and thank you Dave for the good news….

Howdy Steve,
…and may your New Year be infinitely happier than these last several months

You’ve been riding some pretty fancy beds. Think you can go back to that foam rubber pallet I gave you at Chickasha ?..gh

Keith,
… Get one of the housings from Allan. I did. The holes line up perfectly.

Jim, the second half of your sentence is exactly what I was suggesting and pictured. Heck, you don’t need “12 sides” to tighten or loosen that fuel line nut.

Looking at the lower of the 2 pictures Adrian posted, thats a very early ‘18 or ‘19 tractor. I can tell by the 6 strap iron spokes in the rear wheels and “ladder side” cast iron radiator shell. And looking closely; how did they load it ? The TT has no bed per se so it must’ve been somehow hoisted on...

Sacrifice a 5/8” open end wrench to the bench grinder god… thats 3/4” to the left and 5/8” on the right. It’ll quickly do the job.

I wonder if they would jack up the frame to raise the 2 rear spring eyelets about an inch then insert a hard wood (oak) between the eyelets and axle housing. This would save shackle bushings but place the load on the axle tubes.

As a former Army Bn. Maint. Officer, I was drawn to the 7th from the bottom picture. What a raggedy motor pool ! Model T chassis and a depot hack parked higgeldy piggeldy 🤪 But I used to own a 1917 Nash Quad 3 T like the supply truck in picture center. Been all over France.The cast iron solid rubber...

Oh look ! Mack’s $6,300 economy model is made in Guangdong. Buy one and it’ll support a PRC platoon invading Taiwan for a month !!

Good idea Mack. Anybody want this cut off spring perch for the cost of mailing ?? After all, theres plenty of cut off touring pickups out there…Thanks to all responses.

I’ve looked through my front spring perches to find two pairs for a friend. It I found this 5th from the left with a larger thread diameter. The shank diameter is the same as all others but their smaller thread diameter is uniform….
Non Ford supplier ? Anyone else seen this ?

Yeah; the Druids over at Stonehenge are thrilled.

But, did ya’ll also notice it’d be impossible to spin crank start that engine in the first photo ?

I enjoyed the 3rd picture where the owner replaced the left cowl lamp with a magneto horn

Why not ? Once again, many thanks Tom for your good efforts.

Shes gorgeous !! Lotsa bling bling to shine but I see you must be used to it. Love

the wires

No interest, huh ?… I’ll just keep them from the hoarders then

Stocking Stuffer Sale - now $90 each….

Oh my !! There’s 2 previously prominent Forum Friends that posted on this thread last August who now got their “feathers ruffled” and quit participating. I greatly miss the sage advice and comments of Scott Conger

Good therapeutic idea Dave. Similar to the therapy this Forum is to me

My only ***btt*** for this ad 🥲 until it falls into oblivion 🥲

…..real nice solid edges. Powder coating cost me $25 each. Now excess inventory. One has 1 lug welded (see picture). Prefer local pickup at this low price $90 each.

I think I have one here in Lockhart TX. I’ll try and send you a picture….gh

106 year old T power plant made during the height of America’s involvement in WW I. Turns over with crank. I’ve never had the head off. Complete with brass body L 4 carb. Steel oil filler cap is Ford script. Only $600. Local pick up only. Have chain hoist. Texas winter road trip 😎 gwhouse731(at)gmai...

Most enjoyable video. Zoe is a good learner

But I was tensed up during the entire video - steering wheel on the correct side but traffic passing on the right

I thought Haynes made underwear ???

Sorry Tom. I looked and all 5 of mine must be of the 1914 style. The metal at the 3 mounting holes are thinner than your picture. But I learn something new here every day..

Howdy Steve,
….You’re looking much better. Have a good recouperation, get stronger and have a very Merry Christmas !!

I have one I’d sell Tom. Had it on this Classifieds a few months ago. Still looking ? Want pictures ?

… and buyers “allowed in” at 10 am

My only ***BTT*** until this ad drops into obscurity

Bye Hank

…I’m glad the Turkey Day Blowout Sale was a success…. Sorry to see you go…..but I enjoyed all your advice on Model T subjects

And I’ll bet you want a round felloe 30x3 instead of a square felloe 30x3.

BTW, I’ve determined 2 of these adjustable wrenches will fit into a USPS Small flat rate box

I’ll take it - too - if others fall thru

And ‘in the day’ automobilists had no problem driving/riding in an open car or speedster thru the snow, wind and ice. But nowadays we require heated seats, steering wheels and windshields…soft society

Lotsa’14s. Thanks again Tom and Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours ! It’s of interest to me that the farm made ‘hoopie’ is evidently of the pre ‘15 era and, as rustic as it appears, was upgraded to magneto or electric headlights

Another fine example of info that Wayne has been telling us for years in the 3rd picture from the top. An obvious well worn late ‘14 touring (bill front fenders and cast iron crank handle) with ‘15 ‘style’ curved rear fenders. I believe the results of his research that a long transition period was e...

Yes those do appear to be solid rims - some of the best I’ve seen too. With a great deal of patience and fitting, couldn’t they be successfully welded ? Marvelous patina on that tourer… good on you to preserve it. Don’t forget the Babbitt thrust washers

Under ad verbiage there’s an ‘Attachments’ tab. Click on it and you’ll see an ‘Add Files’ tab. When I click on it, it’ll give me several locations and I’ll choose ‘Photo Library’. Then click on the picture(s) you want and if they’re of a correct size, there’ll be added. But before I choose ‘Submit’ ...

A monkey wrench is a type of smooth jawed adjustable wrench. I have one of these in all my Ts. It’s perfect for the exhaust manifold pack nut…None are Ford script but all are operable. The first 3 on the left are similar with no markings…Middle wrench states Made in USA 9 AUTO…3rd from right states ...

Best news I’ve heard yet on Steve’s recovery. Thanks a lot Dave

“Positive ground causes nuts and bolts to vibrate clockwise”… and… “negative ground causes nuts and bolts to vibrate counter clockwise”. Are you kidding Dan ? Thats akin to stating toilet water flushes in different directions in Northern and Southern Hemispheres

Another ‘15-‘16 characteristic is hood louvers.

Well, I was unsuccessful in tightening the 3 hi speed finger screws 180* to keep my T from slipping in hi gear. So today, while recovering from a 5 day bout with bronchitis, I turned the 3 finger screws back because the advance caused it to creep forward after cranking. Since the problem still isn’t...

I’m in the zip lock bag w/baby powder crowd. But I Don’t store them in my shop. I leave them in the closet of one of the guest bedrooms. My uninsulated shop has been 120* in the summer. That’ll make them crack.

Original; you mean it is definitely not a 1923, dontcha ?
It has the model year ‘24-‘25 cowl

I drove one of the ‘14 runabouts into Lockhart today for the 2nd annual BBQ Fest. I felt high gear slipping so, upon returning home and after a few football games, I gathered a needle nose, screwdriver and empty tuna fish can for the 6 tranny inspection cover screws and will turn the 3 high speed ‘f...

Good grief you struck it rich !

Congratulations !
Would you be interested in selling the horn connection with the curved copper piece on the left side of the cigar box ?

Yeah John. It was a 3 hr.30 min. show and I have a 3 hr.15 min. bladder.

But I thought profanity was at a minimum.

Lotsa cars of the 20s appearing in-era environment. Mostly Model Ts made it fun to recognize inaccuracies. DeNero and DiCaprio greatly expressive of anguish. Latter had perpetual frown. Would see again. Leonardo started out as a”cab” driver in this small OK town. His ‘cab’ was a ‘15 Ford touring. In...

OK. I’m seated in the theatre now - by myself. Feature to start in 2 minutes. Review tomorrow

Me in my Pierce Brosnan mask in my ‘19 centerdoor..

Thanks Jeff and Mike. Guess I’ll go today for the Model Ts; the missus wants to stay home

Too bad extremely talented and highly paid ‘artists’ can’t make a point without vulgarity

Well, I tried to Google my question - to no avail so will have to ask it to my Forum Friends who’ve seen this movie. Does the script contain any ‘f’ bombs or G.D.s ?

Joe Bell says 550 lbs. others have suggested anywhere from 410-475 lbs. estimates include starter and generator. Recommend to carry engine after frame removal ?? NFL Defensive lineman or 2 ton hoist….

My only **Btt* until this ad falls into obscurity

Heck, Merle has the same mag he’d sell for $1 K..

My only **BTT* until this ad falls into obscurity

My only **Btt** until this ad falls into obscurity

Spoken for awaiting payment. Thank you Phill and MTFCA

My only **BTT**until this ad falls into obscurity

‘19 motor spoken for pending payment and more pictures from me to Perry. Thank you MTFCA

Thanks Bob and MTFCA. One sold - two left

Spoken for. Thanks Charlie and MTFCA

OK. $75 for the 3 or $25each….

Then $30 for the 3 or $10 each

Then how about $20 + USPS small flat rate ?

How about $17 postpaid then ?

Shhhh Mark….Don’t tell our HD secrets… I don’t even have a tattoo

Sure… the block was allowed to “cure” a little over a month before “it was made” into an engine..all good

Can also include manifolds and a brass L4…Oil filler cap is steel Ford script.

Looks to be 4 25 18. Motor turns over nicely. This is last year of pre generator. $550. Local pick up only. Need more pictures ? Just ask… gwhouse731(at)gmail(dot)com

Here’s another view of the Splitdorf H. And I Did list it on the HCCA Classifieds. When I acquired the Maxwell, it had a J Deere WICO mag. I paid a lot for 2 correct Splitdorf Hs; and now this one is excess.

Here’s another view of this 5 dollar item

Howdy Mark,
Good idea. Thanks

Sorry but I don’t have a 4 cylinder Splitdorf F…

…Can’t call them a pair but they’re left and right sides. One has a ‘jewel’ in the rear and the other doesn’t. One has a burner and the other doesn’t. One has a cracked bevel glass and the other doesn’t. Otherwise great condition. $110+the ride… I believe Corcoran was the rarest of the 4 kerosene la...

….for brass top coil $23 postpaid
gwhouse731(at)gmail(dot)com

…. I think this is probably Model A. $5 should cover my boxing and taking into town + the ride.
gwhouse731(at)gmail(dot)com

some wear. $30 + USPS small flat rate
gwhouse731(at)gmail(dot)com

…$45 for the 3 or $15 each + the ride
gwhouse731(at) gmail(dot)com

…Swap meet inventory ? Only $75+ the ride
gwhouse731(at)gmail(dot)com

…. off a 1910 two cylinder Maxwell. Complete. Might’ve been restored by Marks Magneto. Been so long, I can’t remember.Includes spark advance. $750.+ shipping
gwhouse731(at)gmail(dot)com

…headquartered in Rockport Texas. Lotsa good seafood and no need for a Ruckstell or under drive tranny. This year’s Model T tourists brought 70 cars to tour to Goliad TX to visit the 1729 Spanish Mission La Bahia…. maybe others can add pictures

I like it - a lot !! …you’re very fortunate to have no rodent damage to the new upholstery considering its been sitting for so long…

Nope…. Come to think of it - my ‘07 had wood fenders made by Vic Groah and no running boards.

I’m with Peter… It’s a 1907 +- Model B REO. I know because I restored a ‘07 that looks just like it. Its currently being displayed at the New Braunfels Conservation Society. Except; my research revealed it should have bale handled front kerosene lamps. Couldn’t find any (Dietz Dainty) so I used larg...

Don’t shim it ! Use original. Email me the precision OD of the crankshaft. I have loads of large diameter pulleys.

Model year 1914 used either 4 rivet or - later - 3 rivet fender brackets. Which are yours ? Some will say install round head rivets cold and some will say hot. Either way, use a rivet bucking bar (Google it) will help with not denting the fender.

There is a man in my area that has a gorgeous 1913 touring. But he has Ford 21” wire wheels on it and I just can’t look at it. Why don’t you install 1 year only 16” - 1935 Ford wires ? Of course 21” wire wheels aren’t correct for a brass T. Go ahead and spend $5 K on correct repop wires.

We’re so fastidious with oiling and greasing our old Ford parts but the boy in photo 8 doesn’t even have a dust/grease cover on his LF wheel ! And it seems to have been popular to ‘create’ Model T pickups before ‘25.

Yes, that is a funny story Kevin. But you have a grand sense of responsibility to chase after and catch a Model T in high gear going down a hill

So, ….did your sense of guilt cause you to buy it ?

Looks to me like you’re needing 2 reflectors and 2 burners. What else John ? The Lancaster Glass Co. reflectors are rare as hens teeth and sounds like you’re not building it for a Stynoskie run - so just go with T suppliers reflectors. I might be able to help you with 1 burner assembly.

John, First paragraph, second sentence: “3 primer, 1/4 turn. Turn the key on and it starts 70% of the time”. By “primer” he wasn’t speaking of any kind of paint or fuel pump. Model T people would read this as pulling on the looped wire leading to the carburetor choke butterfly while cranking the eng...

Pretty rare ‘13 runabout w/ mother in law seat Kevin. And, have you figured out why you “never get a free start on magneto” Neal ?

Very interesting barn find Allan. Yes, I’d attempt to preserve it too. Reinvigorate the dried out spokes. Lightly sand the rusty sheet metal and apply a satin preservative. Tell us more about those 2 interesting ‘scuff plates’ on the splash apron.

…and how and why did those 2 men ascend and stand on that chimney in the last picture ?!?!?! That’d be a deadly vertigo moment for me.
