Oldest son just called me a few minutes ago. An acquaintance of his accidentally put diesel in his empty gas powered riding lawn mower. When he realized his mistake, because it was diesel in lieu of gasoline, he tried to suck it out with a Sears Shop Vac even though he was warned not to do...

1. I learned this vintage method of valve stem adjustment in conjunction with using original Model A tappets while re-seating/lapping many Model A valves over 56 years ago. Learned it from from my vintage Auto Manufacturer trained Uncle, a professional, full time mechanic who was born in 1905...

Many times we see recommended Forum lists as to which spare parts to carry in our Model A's while out on the road, & as always, our perfect Model A Forum Owners with perfect Model A's always report that they carry nothing and recommend carrying nothing. (LOL) Well, I think after recently...

FWIW: This post and information below is not intended to be about which type of Model A insurance to buy; or which company to buy same. And even though many articles were, and still are written on different opinions for installing or not installing seatbelts in Model A Fords, this is...

Hi, Apologies for the length of really the short version to maybe a very boring thread; however, I wrote it hoping this helps someone some day with obtaining a Model A title .... next to last resort in paragraph 20 below. 1. February 1958 gave former Model A owner $25.00 cash for a 1930...

FWIW: Maybe something to consider as to why Model A's may wander "occasionally" when driving on different or the same highways: 1. According to the Model A Ford Service Bulletins Book, & current recommendations, it is advisable today to follow Ford's revised toe-in measurements from that of...

Without adding to agreements & disagreements, & past comments, as far as front axle bearing adjustments with pre-load, no pre-load, how loose, how tight etc.; this information below may or may not assist one in adjusting & tightening the nuts on Model A front wheel bearings. Many in the...

Not trying to hear what kind of oil is used by humpteen different Model A owners; or even start a new thread or war on wild "guesses" as to which Model A oil to use. But, after reading Pills most "serious" January 23 2015, 10:34 a.m. thread below entitled "On Model A Oil", I looked up...

FWIW: A. Never heard of anyone on Forums having a K. R. Wilson shock absorbing adjusting tool made for Ford in 1931, & never saw this tool offered by vendors. Appears it would take the guess work out of "balancing" shock absorber resistance from left to right & front to back on the four (4)...
