    Grandpa Jerry's Model T

    I have not posted anything on here for a long time but I had to share this. My Dad has always wanted a decent Model T and he bought one right before his 74th birthday. He has been driving it all over the place. One of his plans for the summer was teaching his grandkids from Texas how to drive...

    25 Roadster advice

    Hello, I am for some advice on the ballpark value on a 25 Roadster. A guy brought me this car to get it running and he was pondering selling it. He is no longer pondering and I intend to buy it. When he brought it out I had permission to do what I want with it. I have put roughly 250 miles on...

    My 1st new wheel

    Assembled my first rebuilt T wheel today. Kind of difficult until you figure out how to do it. I ended up using a homemade sleeve puller we made years ago and the picnic table to pull the spokes into place. Kind of an irritating process until you figure out how to do it. I probably did not do...

    Brass headlamp question

    I am working on an early 13 Touring car. I have the Jno W Brown Model 19 headlamps. Are they the correct ones? Were they all polished brass or were parts or the whole thing painted black? I thought these were very tarnished but they have definitely been painted. I have seen pictures with...

    Model T anti-theft steering wheel

    My dad picked up a T steering column over 50 years ago that has been floating around since then. It had an aluminum steering wheel spider with a lock on it. Never had a key for it so left it alone. I thought that maybe when you unlocked it the wheel would come off so it was a fatman wheel. Had...

    Valve train parts

    My A has never idled the best but seemed to run real well otherwise. Did a cylinder leakage test tonight and found a leaking exhaust valve on #1. I removed the head and the valve was just starting to burn. I am going to replace all the valves, guides, springs, etc. Should I replace everything...

    My Model T Welder

    A year ago I picked up a welder powered by a T. It is a 1914 engine according to the number with some interesting modifications. The T transmission was gutted and made a direct drive coupled to a 3 spd with reverse. Tie rod end plugging a coolant leak! This thing is made of all...

    160 A or B

    I just purchased a slantwindshield Fordor sedan about a month ago. I was wondering how to identify whether it is a 160 A or B. It is a great running original car other than a poor paint job. I have tried to research it but find conflicting information. I am really excited to own this car. It...
