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...

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...

Numerous times I have tried posting pictures unsuccessfully from my iPad. I am told that the Ford Barn will not accept iPad pictures as they are too large. Is that so?

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

What seems to be the best or most popular Model A magazine? i.e; Restorer, Model A Times, etc, why? A few years ago I didn't renew my subscriptions as I didn't have time to read them but now being retired I would like to subscribe to something again.

Trying to upload some pictures of some of my cars.

What year did Ford transmissions have Syncromesh?

DANG, DANG In view that I was able to post one picture successfully, I went ahead and spent nearly an hour to post six more with an interesting historical story and verbiage about each one. When I hit "Upload" I lost everything. I'm too upset to continue today so maybe I'll try again tomorrow...

I have never been successful in posting pictures to the site, however I have just come across some instructions I had written, so I'll try them.

Apparently it's a common problem to have the two rear female threads on the hood hinge socket to become stripped. These captive nuts/threads cannot be easily replaced. Has anyone developed a "neat trick" to repair or fasten down this rear hood hinge socket?

Pictures failed to post?? I'll try again. I have no problems attaching pictures to an email. That didn't work, email me for pictures, John empire05@centurytel.net

Here's a nice 1930 two door Model A for sale. I am not the owner but am posting it for a friend of mine who lives about 10 miles away. As far as I can tell, the body and fenders are steel Ford. Nice inside and out. I drove it last summer and was impressed with how nice it ran and handled. I'll...

Here's a photo of the 31 two door that I sold to that old gentleman in Rolla, MO. It's only a fixture in his garage that he looks at as he doesn't even know how to start or drive it. (I guess I still don't know how to post a picture with an iPad)

About six weeks ago, I sold a real nice 31 two door on Craig's List to an old gentleman in Rolla, MO. His brother came to pick it up, pay for it and we drove it on his trailer for the trip to Missouri. A few days later his brother called me that he arrived in Rolla fine but the starter was dead...

Before covering the "A" up for the winter, I was going to change the oil on the 7,000+ mile engine but decided to check the color of the oil on the dipstick first. I was surprised to see the oil level about 2" above the "F" mark on the dipstick, and then shocked to see about a gallon of anti...

A few years ago, I installed a Brumfield H.C. Cylinder head. I never had the occasion to check the cylinders compression until yesterday. To my surprise, I measured 108 to 110 lbs. on all four cylinders. I performed the test twice with a quality gauge with the same results. I had a hard time...

Recently when I try to start my "A" when it's cold there is a series of very loud backfires. After numerous repeated try's, it will finally start and run rough at a slow throttle setting. After it warms a bit, it will finally smooth out and run fine at any throttle setting. Shut it off and...

Due to my possible moving next year, I am selling my beautiful 31 Model A two door. Details and photo's can be seen on eBay motors listing #221301731011 (reserve price). Of course I will never sell my really nice 30 Deluxe Roadster which is set-up for 60 mph road cruiseing.
