Got both of them. Emailed you twice in last few days. Issue must be on your end. Send me an email with your phone number and I’ll call you.

Remember that the low steel fire wall was sold as "the" replacement fire wall for 17-23 after their introduction in 23.

You sure about that? Changing from a wood to steel firewall requires different firewall to frame brackets and a different hood rod at minimum.

I received a similar email at 11:30am: Hello. Please let me know when you get this? I'd like to ask you something Thanks Larry The address appears correct. Larry’s email was probably compromised. The “I’d like to ask you something” scam is generally looking for money to be wired claiming the sender ...

The ones I’ve machined are a bit smaller but just about the same size as the later counterbore size. You should be able to split the later size felt in half with a new razor blade and pack one of the halves in. Saturate the felt with oil before you install the cover. It should help to make a cone ou...

Rich, You can ship it to me and I will machine it to accept the modern seal for $25. I’ve done it many times. If you are interested, send me an email. I don’t receive pm’s and might not see a post here. “Original Smith’s” suggestion of installing a non-original part in its place is somewhat surprisi...

Leave them off and finish the entire top with hidem welt…. Last time I saw one, the aluminum ones were for Model A and not quite right for a T. If the top was correctly installed with a beaded drip edge, that is usually all the protection you need on the occasional rainy day.

Bill Everett: THEY HAVE BEEN SOLD. I did see your two posts here of “email sent” and I did receive the two emails you sent yesterday afternoon and the one you sent this morning saying you want them. I responded to your first email yesterday telling you they were sold. I am sorry, but they were alrea...

I have also used aluminum and bronze - they rang like a bell, took them out after a few miles and put fiber or nylon back in.

If any timing gear “rang like a bell” the centers, or lash, or something else wasn’t quite right…

T & TT Crossmembers are different. I only mention this because most of the hobbyists and many of the parts dealers don’t know. If you use the wrong one it changes the angle of the engine in the car and the radiator doesn’t line up right.

No Longer Available. Model T Snow Flyer skis. Thank you.

See the pictures. I think there is supposed to be a seal on the inside of the bearing that is missing. My idea was to order the exact same ball bearing and just change the bearing OR swap the seal over. I’ll leave that to the new owner to keep the price down. The machined tail shaft is a real nice f...

(Sold, pending) These are best suited for someone who has the skills to successfully use them…. These were in an engine that had gotten rusty in the bores. Not tight, but pretty sticky. Some rings are in them and didn’t expand out so I assume they are stuck. Rings will require removing as well as c...

Remove the pedals and list them for $75. If they’re halfway decent, they might sell before the hogshead. If you can carefully inspect the hogshead and guarantee no cracks or defects, that’s worth a lot more too.

Unlikely that the shaft is “broken off”. They generally fracture in a spiral that initially stays partially together and sometimes randomly expands and/or contracts when engaging low or reverse which seizes inside of the low bushing or on outside of trans shaft & kills the engine like the motor is l...

John nailed it. Broken driven gear shaft. I’ve seen it maybe about 8 times and in all but one case they were all from ‘26-‘27 transmissions. The 1 earlier case it was a repro cast narrow drum, so no telling what year the shaft was. This is a diagnosis of experience. Unless someone has worked on a to...

The new plates aren’t really made right. You are better off using good used ones.

They haven’t been available for a while and this one is surplus to my needs. This one has no evidence of ever being mounted on a rim and certainly has never been run.

Jim Sr’s picture may also be good documentation of how much oil a new T generally leaked. Just the fact that someone in a dealership left that pan under the car without wiping it clean is a good indication that sort of leakage was probably considered quite normal.

Post a picture. It sounds like you might be describing an early style front motor mount/spring clamp. If so, YES it needs to be tight and FIRMLY hold the springs that they do not move relative to the crossmember. The fact that it would be incorrect vintage for the car doesn’t mechanically make any d...

FYI…

Please ignore the comment by Modeltmark, he doesn’t understand what he’s looking at. Jerry did get it correct. Thanks Jerry. It IS exactly what it IS.

I found it at Hershey with a minor blem in the brass,

My first thought is that it was dropped or something else unfortunate happened to it…

Here is a used re-ground cam. I checked one lobe and it shows about .287” lift, so maybe that’s what they ground it to, or maybe it was originally .290 and has .003 wear. I have no idea who ground it or any other specifics. It was in an engine I bought for parts. Includes bearings in picture and the...

AND, if they are rusty they generally aren’t usable. Even if properly cleaned it will likely be rough enough that it will rapidly wear the ring gear. Scrap steel is around $180 per ton, so 9 cents per pound might be a pretty fair price…

FYI, That cover is for a Stromberg with the up-turned intake. It’s not for the “OF” model.

I first toured the Ford museum in 1955. The cars were not roped off and there were a hundred or so on display including Henry's and Edsel's personal cars. Wow!!!

If wire wheel nuts are supposed to be that tight, then why is the FORD tool for them a T-handled socket???

The “washers” were originally meant as a “fix” for wheels with wallowed out holes (mostly on Model A wheels)…

I usually have one in stock. $150. Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll see what I can come up with.

Free delivery to Hershey if paid for in advance.

I figured that one would go quick!

What else are you taking to the scrap yard that might be of interest to model T folks.

Stuff that T guys that don’t know any better would take if it was free but wouldn’t pay for and then would be stored for decades until it was someone else’s problem…

SOLD…. Here’s a real basic T water pump. It does turn but a little stiff. Should require only cleaning, lubrication, and maybe new packing to use. Looks just like the one the vendors sell, but is iron, not aluminum! Only $25. Goes to scrap if not claimed by 10am Thursday 9/1. Please email if interes...

Last chance to get it. Will get scrapped Tuesday.

Steve, No reason carry spare pins. You actually don’t need it for anything but a convenience of indexing. Visually line up the hole and slot, then tighten the nut. It won’t move.

From Model T Ford Encyclopedia by Bruce McCalley

Hey Allen, I think you may be wrong. Upon further examination, I don’t think it would be a late ‘12, but probably somewhere before the deep oil drain was made shallower.
