I would love to have the article-s, love history like this. Thanks

John Warren

Lookin good Mike!!

John Warren

I run gear oil. 85/140 90 wt would be fine.I figure that current oil is better that what they had. Many trans-axles run ATF. I wonder why people are pushing the 600w. To me it seems like putting tar in thar.

John Warren

That is in, in-creditable condition, can you re-produce the label? Thanks for sharing.

John Warren

On Dad's engine, I just used Gray, looks ok.

John Warren

Andrew, I absolutely love the truck! Your Dad and you did a wonderful job, love all the attention to details. The hardware is great and goes well with the rough saw wood! Nicely done. I have a 14 roadster that I want to put a bed just like yours on it. Thanks for sharing and have fun with the truck....

John Warren

Loved the movie Dan,
It was truly amazing what we did as a nation back then, definitely makes one proud and also wonder how on earth we did it!! Could it be accomplished again? I fear not. Where are the Henry Fords and patriots today???

John Warren

Spending time with my granddaughter and my father, ( Dad,chauffeuring a 100 year old veteran in parade).

John Warren

Thanks Herb, Love it! I would love to meet Jay some day. jw

John Warren

Most mods look old. I like the brakes for touring, heater might also be a good thing. It would be a great car to use. Of course the brake system needs to be looked at very carefully , as with any mod.

John Warren

Here are a couple of Martyn's details. The drive shaft housing may not fit onto the open spool without modification.

John Warren

Yours looks complete Great find! The gear in question is for a different application. The mag you have fits the generator cars.

John Warren

Tom, Wonderful photos, I was touched by the feed rack offering coffee and doughnuts for the old timers. Great stuff. Thanks jw

John Warren

We can thank Mister Ford for saving most of us from having to try to repair such a thing. Quite an up grade. Thanks for sharing.jw

John Warren

Thanks Charlie, definitely related. Great story!!

John Warren

You guys are the best! Just put it out there and WALA things are explained. I knew there was a problem just didn't know exactly what it was. I do like adding the modified second wishbone under the axle and now with the clamp available it looks like it will be a fairly easy mod. Thank you all for you...

John Warren

Great thanks.

John Warren

Nice! Thanks jw

John Warren

The early wishbones were prone to bending. My neighbor has just purchased a nice 15 roadster and I was telling him that there was some concern about them. One of the fixes was to install an additional modified under wishbone and tie it to the original. We were looking through the parts books and ha...

John Warren

HAHa

John Warren

Larry, I have purchased my top and seat upholstery, can you show me the embossed locations so I can check and see if it is correct, and also the modified front top socket? Thanks.

John Warren

Love the story and the statue is fabulous!! They should have put a drip pan under it to protect the brick surface HAHA

Thank you!!

John Warren

I agree with Jerry, I have found the same problems. BE SURE AND CHECK THE PITMAN ARM CONNECTION ( IT NEEDS TO BE CORRECT AND TIGHT) . You mention that it takes 1-1/2 inches of steering wheel movement before the wheels turn. Make sure you are just checking slop and not winding up and loading the stee...

John Warren

Thanks for the book Joseph, It sure takes you back, love it!! jw

John Warren

My heart goes out to you guys, Thank you all for your investment in America. You all should be proud, I certainly am proud of you!! jw

John Warren

Nice photos and great new topic Thanks

John Warren

Welcome to the 25 rpu's. Love your truck!! Here is mine.

John Warren

Let's throw a few more items in the mix. I know one is partial early rocky mountain

John Warren

Nice story and thanks Dick for sharing.

John Warren

In addition to what Jeff said. The only thing that you will need to pay attention to here is the water level. They will continue to loose water after they find their sweet spot. I run my race car ( Model A engine) without a water pump and even it does ok if I keep an eye on the water level. One thin...

John Warren

I built this mini bike back in 1967, I was 11years old.

John Warren

My friend Scotti Ray built these. He also has a couple of T's.

John Warren

Kevin, It looks like you are well on your way to building complete carburetors.......WOW. I would love to have the 6V available.

John Warren

The holly vaporizer carb is built very much like the claimed 50 mpg carb. Can anyone provide any mpg data on this carb compared to other t carbs. My holly nh probably gets 18 mpg, but that is only a guess. Thanks for any input.

John Warren

Looks kinda Norman Rockwell type. You should paint that one.

John Warren

Good information and a reminder of what can happen. I recently had a tire problem that was going to develop into a small crises. I had noticed on my race car that the tire may have looked a little low when I left for breakfast. It is a 26-27 21'' on steel spoke rim. When I arrived at the cafe, I not...

John Warren

Rich, it amazing how the 2nd oct 11 post looks like it could have been a very early photo, and I know exactly where it is. Wonderful photo.

John Warren

I hope he continues, he is easy to watch and good at explaining his process. Thanks for sharing.

John Warren

Looks COLD there already. Here it just getting nice to start touring again.

John Warren

Thanks Mark, jw

John Warren

I Purchase some McLaren's a few years ago and am very satisfied with his product. Hope all is well with him.

John Warren

Stan, you got to do what you got to do! The carburetor was JUNK until you figured out a way to save it. Thanks for sharing. Kevin thanks for sharing, I have had to remove many broken taps,drills and easy outs. This puts another tool in the bag of tricks. One of the ways I have successfully removed s...

John Warren

A shout out to Steve Jelf. Thanks for taking the time to document things like this. Looks like you guys did a jam up job.

John Warren

Wilwood has mechanical calipers as well. I am looking into better braking on my race car.

Wow, nice documentation. So what is your Dad's name? You should post the photo of you and your dad side by side. Thanks for sharing.jw

John Warren

John Warren

John Warren

Wow, Keith, More Photos. Looks like lots of fun. You must also be a machinist. A couple of guys have train sets in their yards. I'll see if I can get some photos.

John Warren

All this stuff has an amazing way to trick us. The plate thing is definitely strange.

John Warren

Ryan, I am looking forward to your build. Love the drawings. Keep us posted.jw

John Warren

I would be interested in anything maxwell, and that thing that has a rack gear on it nest to the vise,

John Warren

It happens way too often

glad you are ok.

John Warren

Many people are afraid of hight's Haha

John Warren

One thing that is important is when you take the spindles off, the spindle bolt is threaded into the axle with a lock nut on the bottom. Be sure to unscrew and not try to pound out the bolt. Like said just use a tap and thread it, works great. Your questions are always welcome. jw

John Warren

Rich, that is funny and looks like it will work well, I know exactly where that is. It was absolutely wonderful to meet you!

John Warren

Great coverage and looks to be coming along nicely. Happy wife, happy life. ( your wife is beautiful). Keep going and post often. Thanks, jw

John Warren

Thanks Tom for sharing the great photos. 1 horse 20 horse. Picnic photo wow 7 or 8 people probably all in one car. Anyway, the photos truly give you a place to day dream. Thanks again.

John Warren

Love the thread. Eric, That is something the T only drivers license. The information TRD posted makes it easy to see how the manufacturers were jockey-ing positions. We had a guy , Bert Wolf, in our neighborhood that drove his 26 RPU in the 60's. This was the first model T I saw running.

John Warren

May be some camping gear.

John Warren

WOWZER

I love things like this. Im sure it will be a wonderful and fun car that most would love to have. Thanks for sharing.

John Warren

Thanks Tom all are very nice photos. Dallas, #5 also looks to be the same car.

John Warren

Jonah, Hopefully you have a rear end that is together. There is probably usable parts there but it will be expensive to get that one going. Someone in your area probably has one that they would give you. Do you have any model T friends close by that can help you sort things out? We have a young man ...

John Warren

A friend that installed windshields always called that one a window installation tool! HA HA Anyway it worked well with the rubber.

John Warren

Love the photos Tom, Third one down, what kind of car? Wood wheels, Dodge?

John Warren

Bill, can you post a photo of the snap on one? Craftsman use to have one that looked like a bent awl. The one Jim posted is interesting, and looks like it could be effective. I also usually use side cutters. I really like Steve's ss pins.

John Warren

Love the old photos, Thanks Tom, jw

John Warren

Make one,?

John Warren

: Las Vegas Thanks You.

: Danny Lorenzi

John Warren

Bill makes a great point,I have seen this and had to help a member with the bracket being loose.

John Warren

I like the way Steve uses the water pump. Very effective that way. I don't run a water pump on my model A either. John, good info on the v8. Dad had the same problem.

John Warren

Thanks Walter. I'll see what I can dig up.

John Warren

Nice cars. Drool factor applies.

John Warren

The old Sandrail has seen better days. The brakes are small but effective.

John Warren

Kevin , nice car!! thanks. David, first I have heard of the engines mounted incorrectly seems like Hughes got it from all sides. When they were talking about moving it,possibly to Lake Mead to use as a gambling boat, the news caster commented how unstable the H4 was????? Im sure he was correct watch...

John Warren

Shane, Any progress? Hank ? Anyone doing anything with speedsters, race cars?

John Warren

Just found this, looks to have a unique frame.

John Warren

Thanks Guys for the help, I have had similar results. So far not even a photo of a car, just adds. I would love to somehow end up with a Warren for obvious reasons LOL

John Warren

A question for Jeff. I have had the same problem at times.. When you click on the photo it does turn correct.

John Warren

We have a guy in our club that uses his 26 roadster most of the time for a daily driver. He has had poor luck with modern cars, keeping them to pass emissions testing. So he always reverts to his Model T.

John Warren

Steve, looks like you are making progress. Just wondering if anyone has just wound with new round wire? I know it wouldn't be correct but it would work fine. Thank all of you for sharing!!!! jw

John Warren

I have seen that engine Pete at Speedway motors. There is also a 200+ mile an hour model a salt flat car that has two Subaru heads adapted to it. Many cool Ideas. All cost lots of money. King of the hill in Lincoln Nebraska runs an original speed head. 200 hp out of a model b engine. In that run of ...

John Warren

A place that is overlooked more often than not is the pitman arm. Pull the cotter pin out and make sure it is TIGHT. It may be snug but it needs to be TIGHT!!!!! I'm with Chad, probably also needs front end work. To set your toe in, scribe your tyres to get a true line to measure to. 1/16 is plenty ...

John Warren

If you need a short steering shaft, then cut the end off of a full length shaft and re machine correctly. Safest way period. For an experienced machinist, piece of cake. When my father was bigger, he could have used a shorter steering shaft.

John Warren

Anyone ever see anything about the warren automobile? I have seen adds but nothing else.

John Warren

Very nice, now I must get a towel, Thanks jw

John Warren

May be a Clausing?

John Warren

How about some more photos of your car? Thanks.

John Warren

Is that the car the engine goes in? :lol: I have a stand that someone had built out of a model t frame. I use a radiator no fan, for safety, so I can adjust the timer as needed and a fuel tank from a honda motor. Bolt the forth main in. After it is running you can test the transmission and brake. It...

John Warren

For my Model A, I found a marine mallroy distributor, that turned the correct direction. On a model T, If your building your own drive, direction probably isn't so important. I feel that my modern distributor on my race car helps its performance greatly, 26 deg full advance at 1800. My model T's all...

John Warren

I forgot to ask, battery of magneto? If on Mag, classic symptoms.

John Warren

I agree with Jerry, and or it could be something to do with your coils, sometimes caused by being loose in the box. You can shim them a little tighter with a Popsicle stick.

John Warren

Alan, To the best of my knowledge, all new starters engage the Bendix before the contacts are made to turn the motor. The Bendix isn't relying on spinning to engage.

John Warren

I would love to go and see her in her new home. I did see her in Long Beach, and yes I must be getting older. May be a Tour or speedster run??

John Warren

We had a crack similar to that on an equipment crankshaft. We ground the crack some just to get rid of the sharp edge running against the bearing , and ran it. It never did brake, but the bearing did go out again. This was done in frame.
