Great stories about your engines! Thank you for posting!
My 1-1/2 F-M runs so nice on kerosene or Diesel and blows great smoke rings out the stack. I fold up a red rag and cover the hopper to keep him hot!
I play with our club's 300-350 horse Wetherill and the 175 horse Vilter, both are Corliss type and our little crew sets up then puts the boiler...

I haven't disabled posting yet, you just cannot start a new thread.

Why do or would people care if anyone knows they’re online or not? What are you trying to hide?

Just testing!

I saw the Town Car in a garage during the Holiday Excursion in Pasadena.

Thanks Duey!
Now I don't feel so alone.

I stole that pic from the Snowmobile Event post.....

Correct, the gaskets are for shimming, Ford did not use a gasket originally. The paper gasket(s) work fine and have been used for many years now.

VERY cool GIF's Dave! Wow!
Great men to be able to do that... I could not. Wow.
Thank you!

Hank,
I read this and your previous post and I thank you very much for bringing our/my attention to your problem.
I am about to start my Speedster for the very first time and thanks to this thread and not being sure (Old timers disease) whether the screen I had put in the thing had a magnet or not, I've just removed the plate and found a magnet...

The birthday year starts at 1919...
I hope we aren't slighting anyone over 100 ! :?

Well!!! I like it. 8-)

Humorous - that which is funny - humerus - the bone of the upper arm -

Sorry, old schoolteacher here....just couldn't resist.

I blame it all on spellcheck !! :(

Thanks for the heads up Doug. They start at 7 pm MST. Have my DVR set.

Ya, been a long time for me too! That early screen was small! Like our avatars only backwards... ;)
How big did the screens get to be? In the late 70's-early 80's, the screens were a lot bigger.
They'd come around with the mosquito fogger and fog the tar out of us but it did help. A little bit.
We do have one still going about 50 miles away but...

My wife recently bought a tactical flashlight with a stun feature. As I was opening the package to see how it worked, I pushed the wrong button while holding the wrong end. It zapped me good, Lucky for me it was just out of the box and not fully charged! :o

That car looks like a Citroën B2.

The original footage is here:

Wow what great film footage and records of the scenes. The first link is 6 minutes of film and the second link is the records of the scenes until you get to section 14-15-16 then it is film again. Great shots of 1918.

Thanks all for the information.

Ben, no need for a washer. The bolt head is p against the frame and the nut against the bracket.

Hope this helps,

Thanks,
I'm going to order up some Viton rubber sheeting, and cut myself a new one. I'm supposing that the outer edge is pretty important, and as long as I leave it wide enough, the inner edge is not so important.

I'll let you know how it goes.
Thank you

Me too.

Canadian Ford. '23? I like the bench with pipes and fittings.
It's good to see you here Jay.

Looks like someone will have to take off their cap to get a haircut....LOL..nice pic. thanks

Change Is Inevitable because people just can't be content with the same thing very long. Windows 98 worked great but ol Bill just had to make another billion :roll: . The Model T is a good easy to repair vehical but then Henry came up with that hotrod A with 4 wheel brakes and 20 more hp.
Some things change so little,yet work so well.The sun...

I just finished my rearend rebuild and put some regular bearing grease on my inner Hyatts.

I didn’t pack them full like I did the outer Hyatts but just gave them a nice liberal coating then rolled each of the rollers around a few times. The thought of just installing them dry left me feeling a bit squeamish. I see the grease as a sort of an...

I bet Chris has that on his To Do list.

Early 1909 runabout, up to July 1909 these were painted in a Dove Gray.

Early features like wood running board covered with linoleum, black trim on wood body moldings, entire body, chassis and top irons in body color.

Fashionable

Thank you!
It is amazing that we can get this information, 100 years after the car was built!

Thank you,
Greg

Typical 12V starter :ugeek:
