    What strange comments or questions have you heard about your Model A

    I was at a local car show. Some guy said, loud enough to impress all the people around him, "I'd hate to be that guy when he needs new tires for that thing." I, literally, had 10 miles on a brand new set. They still had parting dust and the little rubber **** on them

    broken screws in oak, drill or give up?

    I broke a screw in a set of oak cabinets, that I built, just a few weeks ago. I used a piece of brake tube a few inches long. I filed teeth on one end with a 3 corner file. I did have to recut the teeth 3 or 4 times as the soft tube wore down quickly. It worked a treat

    Lost Neutral

    As is typical with any board, there is a lack of reading comprehension going on along with a tendency to grab the ball and run in any direction. In the original post, he said that he has all the gears, yet there is no neutral. It is not stuck in two gears or any of the other, supposed, problems...

    Lost Neutral

    Planetary transmissions do, indeed, have a neutral. Half pedal or half brake lever is neutral on a Model "T". Since neutral is not a gear but the lack of one, when neither the low gear band or the high gear clutches are engaged, you're in neutral, iffy as it can be. I have to repeat a previously...

    Lost Neutral

    I must be missing something here. If you know how a transmission works, as it goes from one gear to the next, not having neutral, between the gears, is impossible. When going, let's say, from first to second, as first gear disengages, the trans is in neutral before second engages. Same with...

    Lost Neutral

    How can you shift from one gear to another without having neutral in between???
