My "new" ear!y 9N Ford Ferguson from the Henry/Harry handshake fame. Not a Model A but I think it pairs well with my 130A. 70 plus's years old and still a workhorse.

Sometimes old car dumps are in the loveliest places. We found these beauties while hiking near the Grand Canyon last summer.

Here are the pix of my cargo bed frame and interior wood. Pete

This is what my 130A DD has for a passenger seat frame. Drivers seat is the same except adjustable. The base appears to be what I've seen in photos on line and on Ebay for a Model A Tudor Sedan (same as a Deluxe Delivery). When I took the old upholstery off, which was the "Spanish Leather"...

I am overhauling the bucket seats in my Deluxe Delivery (same as a Tudor) and the passenger seatback spring is junk. The other spring sets and both frames can be made serviceable. I can buy a reproduction seatback spring for 60-70 bucks but I'm curious if anyone has used any of this high...

I recently lubed the bearings on my generator (tube type) and soon discovered the reason for not "over lubricating" the the brush end. It had been charging fine. I had rebuilt the generator a couple of years ago so I was able to take it apart and clean it fairly easily. I bench tested it (motor)...

Since the weather warmed up here in the northeast my truck is running in the red, 190*+ after only about 2 miles @ 35-40 mph. I took out my t-stat and gave it the vinegar treatment for about a week and did a good back flush. System is (was) pretty clean. The radiator I'm using appears to be a...

Well here it is finally. Pulled it out of the spray booth the week after new years and started some of the finish work. We got a beautiful day so I took it for a ride to the beach for a glamour shot. I can't wait until "ice cream" weather...............Pete

I am in the process of rebuilding a set of shocks for my 130A. I picked up a few "originals" from Ebay and managed to cull out some usable "cores". One of them appeared (look & smell) to have gear oil in it. The "Diablo A's" DVD recomends filling with Red Line 15W50. I've been using ATF for...

I am rebuilding a water pump and when I was cleaning the housing I noticed a small hairline crack in the casting where the impeller bushing fits. It's about 1/2 inch long and seems to fade out to nothing. The 4-bolt mount, yoke and front bearing housing appear to be fine. My question, is this a...

I taped my Blackberry to the windshield and went for a ride. The sound was no good so I added the background tune from youtube. Pete http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjkZYBrZXC8

How many amps should a pair of 6 volt sealed beams draw? High & low beams? Mine seem to peg my original amp meter to -20. Should I use a -30/+30 meter? I have the third brush set for about 10 amps at about 1500 rpms and it drops down to around 0 to +2 at idle with nothing on. Thanks for any...

Picked up my plates and I plan to road test this weekend. Please think the good thoughts. Pete

I have a new channel (runs) kit for my 130A that has hooks at the top and bottom. Where can I find instructions to install them? Thank you. Pete

A friend sent me this link and I thought I'd pass it along. I hope it works. I've seen air-cooled VWs go projectile, but this impressed me...... I'm glad I have a Model A. http://wwwboard.spotlighthobbies.com/index.pl?read=1626009

I'm installing the gas tank on my 130A and I need help with the best way to replace the sections of welt between the front door posts and the cowl pannels (front quarter). The old welt is still in place but it is a little rough so I would like to repalce it. I have all the screws and nuts out on...
