I pick up this old trouble light at a yard sale for a buck (guy said switch was broken), the switch is fine, but there was no bulb, that's why it (the switch) felt broken. The black parts are wood, the cloth covered wires need to be replaced, the body is plated brass and has a glass lens, the...

I got this picture from another forum where a fella was complaining (rightly so) of his nieghbors goats climbing on his modern cars, just thought some of you might get a kick out of it.

Has anyone put their A's across a truck scale and noted the weights on the front and rear axles? No truck stops with scales near me and I don't want to go to the IDOT weigh station (They don't have set open hours and I'm not a fan of theirs anyway):mad:. Thanks, Clyde VanEvery

I just wanted to say ThankYou and Merry Christmas to Jim/Tx for the great Ford Barn members map. I tried to add myself and failed but he stepped up and added me. So again Thank You, Clydes 31 P/U aka Clyde VanEvery Solon Mills Il

I went to a truck/antique equipment/tractor show a couple of weeks ago and spotted a homebuilt garden tractor that was for sale, it is a hodge podge of parts from, according to the sign, Sears and Ford Model A. I fell for it, but my more practical (I thought) better half, hit me with the old...

I went to Bowling Green Ohio for the Historical Construction Equipment show. As per usual after the 6 hr drive it started to rain soon after I got there, after the drought this year it wasn't in me to wish the rain would stop, so I found real nice little museum in town called Snook's Dream Cars...

I will be going to Middleville Michigan to do some family tree research, I see the Gilmore museum is close by, how much time should a guy allow to see it? A few hours? a whole day? Have my mail forwarded? Thanks, Clyde

Sorta, kinda Model A related, on wednesday I got the A out of the big garage, started and driven around to the "Model A garage" (the climate controlled one). Temps in the low 60's and windy as all getout, looked around the yard at the sticks and limbs blown down and started to pick them up...

I know this has been talked about to the Nth degree and everyone has their own thoughts on it but on the Heavy equipment forum I belong to this product was brought up. I don't have any experience with it but some of the people there like it, although they said it was a little pricey. I just...

Went up to Edgerton Wi to the threshing bee saw a few A's and a couple T's. Good time as usual but HOT HOT HOT, took some pics and theres some Ford tractors to go with the 8n thread. And as a special bonus a mystery tractor conversion with the sickle on it. Hope you enjoy, Clyde

Went up to Sharon Wi Model A Day, it was a great day as usual. Got to park right across from the Ice Cream shop......perfect. Talked to some real nice people, truck ran great, only downside was my camera bit the big one so hope some others will post some pictures here. Clyde

I just picked up a Homelite generator today and was looking at the schematics and noticed that even the manufacters don't know everything about their products or why some parts are there. My hats off to you Guys that do research on Model A's if you ever run into this sort of thing in the Ford...

A couple years ago I reworked the front end on my 31 CC P/U. When I was unbolting the wishbone I noticed it had the rubber ball "fix" in place, I eliminated that and installed the proper parts after building up the ball and filing it down. When I was picking up and wiping off the parts that I...

A buddy of mine emailed this to me, as he knows in the winter that my fingers rarely heal and my blood pressure seldom gets down to a safe level. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did. Clyde........ P.S. hold down ctrl key and hit the + key to enlarge and the - key to return to normal just...

Have had this on a cabinet in the garage for years thought maybe some of you would get a smile from it. .........Clyde

Was looking through my book "The Legendary Model A Ford" when this caught my eye. Says that an oil gauge was standard equipment on the A. Was this true? I was under the impression that oil gauges were add ons. Maybe someone in the know can shed some light on this for me. Hopefully you can make...
