Both are great cars and I own both. The A is way more practical, just jump in and drive it 50 miles. I have to get ready to take the T 50 miles. The car is not unreliable, I just have to pick a slow route and give myself more time. A comfortable driving speed for me in the T is 30mph or...

I have met the Haags, and in my opinion we are fortunet to have them in the hobby.

I used a u-haul to get my roadster home. It worked great. I found it was much less expensive to rent the trailer locally, drive it empty to get the car and then transport the car home. I don't recall the numbers, but a one-way haul cost quite a bit more.

I have a 4.11 final drive ratio (now I know why it climbs in 3rd so well!:)) and I plan to install a Mitchell OD. Does anyone have any experience with either the 26% or 36% with a 4.11 final drive? I guess I could convert the final drive ratio if that makes more sense.

Whoops, bad typing, "if" that helps.

Happened to me just a while ago. I had to clean the commutator. There was a recent article on horn maintenance in the March/April 2015 Restorer is that helps.

Well, my old faded top has ripped and it is time to replace it. At the same time I need to install different top irons, the ones I have are non-folding and for a roadster pick-up (yep, relatively new and still learning, missed that one when I bought the car). So I am on the hunt for top...

I just put 6V LED's on mine, they work great, fit perfect and did not require a resistor with a regular flasher BUT I have my "normal bulb" turn signal lights wired into the brakes as well. I am pretty sure they provide the additional load needed.

I have used quite a few with good luck. Mostly it depends on who has the parts I need in stock at the time. Snyders, Bert's, Mike's, Bratton's, all have worked well for me. I have not used Mac's because I have to pay 8% sales tax (they are in my state). I just placed my first order with...

Dusty, I did a similar thing about 5 years ago. If you are starting up a small farm, it is fun, but it really can take up ALL your time. Especially if it needs fixing up (mine did). By the way, buying the Kabota was one of the smartest things I did. Just a thought though, your may change...

Hello Jon, I should first admit that I am no expert, but I am in your neck of the woods and I paid about that for a 30 Roadster that was ready to drive with many new parts (paint is old and I plan to try my hand at re-doing that). $11k sounds like a lot to me for what you have described. I...

26/27 plated radiator shell with Ford script. SOLD In really nice condition. It does have a couple small dings. $300 includes shipping to the lower 48 states.

There is a nice lubrication reference with drawings in Les Andrew's red book.

I put one on a few weeks ago, works great. Brake light no longer stays on.

I just completed a toe-in adjustment (I had toe-out) with a spring loaded curtain rod I bought at Home Depot. I added a couple short pieces of chain to set the height from the floor. It worked great and the measurements were surprisingly repeatable. Maybe it would not hold up in a pro...
