First correct answer. Only one clue, it’s T Ford related. The first correct answer can have a choice of one of our spring loaded oil can holders, or my left kidney. I’m still using my right one.

Second half of Warford on aluminum case?

Tool(s) made by the FORD tool company, not related to Ford Motor Company.

I like the warford answer

I’ll be watching but only come back when someone gets it. So far, not close.

FORD "Buckeye" jack?

Looks like an ingot of FORD Babbitt I gave you a couple years ago.

Joe is the bIg winner. Kidney or can holder? Take your time!

I think I'd go for the kidney Joe, it would be a great conversation piece hanging on the wall of your shop.....

I thought it looked familiar since I have the twin to it, I do not need any can holders since I have a couple I have never mounted and I do not think I need a kidney it would stink after a while hanging on the wall. Thanks any ways!

Good thread. I "pondered" but didn't think of babbit. Speaking of which, did Models A, C and/or F originally use babbit bearings? I think the Model B did, and that may have been the first Ford model that did, but not sure.

Rob, I've re-done 1903 A rod babbit, had inquiries to do another.

Rob, The F has a Hinged rod and I have done several, the early one had 1/4 at least of babbitt in them and lots of shims.

The 2 cylinder fords had bronze main bearings originally (3) , but I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot were bored out and babbitt used to rebuild.

Not one of Fords better ideas. This is an N, R, S hinged rod. The A,AC, C, and F were similar, only much bigger.

The new F rods that Bill's son machined out of billet with two bolts where a work of art compared to those hinged rods!

Dropacent, will you be selling one of those can holders? I need an upgrade from this: https://photos.app.goo.gl/evW5KiMNNPJxPw246

Everything those Lucius boys do are a work of art, Joe! Lot of talent out your way, must be something in the air. Jonah, send me your address. I’m sure Joe would be glad you get his oil can holder. If he pitches a fit, he can still have the kidney.it’s worn out anyway. Send your address to tmorsher@icloud.com

Joe, you can always make a pie with that kidney.

Dave, we have butchered many years and there are some parts of the hogs people would not believe you can eat and some of it is the first to go on butchering day with the hot fires cooking.

My little brother wants the kidney, he says he will give it to his dog
