I allready became member and found a lot of grear usable information at the website. Car is 95% complete some small parts are missing the crank to start the car and the axle that drives the oiler.

I have started restoration of a 1908 Model S which seems to be in similar condition to your car, with half of the oiler shaft missing and half rusted in the radiator. No rust or wood rot. Engine #1454.

I will be visiting Amsterdam in September. It would be nice to meet. Please send contact info.

Hi jeff,

Thanks for the reply I think we have more or less the same car, serial number are also close together. You are always welcome. I send you an email.

First question from my side at this moment.of someone could measure the diameter of the pulleys of the oiler and the one at the engine side

[Hanktheyank]

Will measure for you later today

It just so happens that I have the McCord Oiler for my 1908 Model S Roadster on a bench at the moment so I took a picture of the pulley with a tape measure next to it.

The S Roadster’s engine is on another bench nearby, so here is a picture of the drive pulley.

Hope these are useful,

Trent Boggess
