I used to brag about Wenol until I found "Mother's Chrome Polish" It's easy to apply and remove and is available in most auto parts stores.

When your old like me, the only hard part in diff. removal is when the creeper wheels tangle in the trouble light cord on the floor or when you have to get up off the creeper to get a tool you forgot.

You are correct post #9

Over the years I have had very poor luck with 6 volt trickle chargers used for battery winter storage. They would last for only one season or less or voltage output was erratic. About three years ago I purchased a Black & Decker, Model BM3B 6/12 volt "Battery Maintainer" from Baccus Global...

The Model T is a great fun car for short distances (parades) etc; but are slow to be safe and they don't stop quickly. I really do enjoy my 30 Delux Model A Roadster which has no such limitations as the T, but I do miss the nice little 23 Model T Runabout that I sold a few years ago. I wish I...

Apparently "Little Dearborn" old Ford auto parts in Minneapolis is going out of business as there is currently a large online auction being conducted on all of the Model A, T, and much other old Ford parts. Parts appear to be mostly NOS. The online auction is open until October 11. Go to...

Totally agree with Hale. The Model A has a very simple fuel gauge, easy to remove, repair, replace float, assure it operates smoothly and correct if necessary and easily to reinstall. Henry's design is simple and accurate. I wouldn't jam a stick into the tank possibly damaging the fuel gauge.

Living in a northern Wisconsin climate, I won't use ethanol blended fuel. Fortunately many of our fuel pumps offer "ethanol free" premium gas. A bit more expensive and better performance and no carb moisture issues from sitting, plus better fuel mileage.

I also have a 30 Deluxe Roadster. I invested about $1,200 in four 35 Ford powder coated rims, four new Firestone 6:50 x 16 www tires from Universal with new tubes and flaps. I went with 6:50's as they are the same O.D. as the original 19's. I only carry 25 psi in them. A beautiful ride and...

What size is the front radius rod ball and what size are the two bolts that hold it?

In the late 40's when I worked in a gas station, gas pumps did not have automatic nozzle shut off when the gas tank was full. You had to lean down and listen for the whistle noise to stop. Most customers told you how many gallons they wanted or the dollar amount they wanted put in. We gave S&H...
