  1. Sorry Cal, I traded it at Hershey a few years back. If you do a search for Hattie’s Garage in MD, Rob may be able to help. He has some early Chrysler stuff good luck
  2. My father (age 92) tells stories of riding in rumble seats when he was young with lots of smiles and laughter. He even laughs when talking about moving down to the floor and closing the lid when the weather was cold and raining.
  3. The 10 hp Stanley's are fun little cars to drive. They are very light and easy to steer, the pump controls are fairly simple to manage, and they go up hills amazingly well. Nice original body on this one, thats not to common these days
  4. What gear oil would you all recommend for the transmission and rear differential of a 24 Chrysler? My immediate thought is 600w, but thought I would survey here for other thoughts Thanks
  5. Yup, took me a while to figure it out, but Anneal it, and it bends pretty easy. Then I drilled and coutersunk screws to fasten it on. I spent a lot of time, but it came out pretty nice.. Good Luck
  6. Tim, I looked for that molding a year or so back, with no success. I thought i found it in England, but could never actually get any shipped here. Ended up using the stuff from Restoration Supply
  7. The Choke pull off, opens the choke slightly when the engine starts. It has no function once the chokes warms up and opens, so the engine will run fine without it once it warms up a bit. I would think it would still be available from NAPA and other sources. Good luck!
  8. I remember a customer telling about following a snowplow truck with a revolving yellow light. Said the headlight were going from high to low with every "flash" of the yellow light. Pretty funny story, But I guess at the moment the plow driver and the Cadi. driver were not that amused
  9. The Franklin is still available, I do drive it around town every now and then just to give it a little exercise, but we sure could use to space
  10. Ill bring it to Hershey, if someone would like it. I hang out with a friend in the Orange field OBJ&OBK -50ish , we are on the end of the row. There is always some Stanley stuff around us. Not looking to make any $, just dont want to bring it back home.
  11. Morris had a 1912 T, a model A, a 16 Stanley, an early Hudson, a Maxwell, a Pierce Arrow, and the last one he bought was a 16 Franklin. I suppose that oil may have come with the Franklin, but I don’t think so, I was with him when he got it and I don’t recall that. Also it was way back on his shelves and he got the Franklin in this century.
  12. Also found a small can of carbide, I know at one time he used it in the model T for the lights. I remember him complaining about how much of a mess it made. I really miss that guy!!! any thoughts on what should happen to get rid of it?
  13. Cleaning off a few shelves in my Father in laws basement Any thoughts on what these oils are? I mean, I know what they are, but are they anything we would use today? Or should they just be emptied into the waste oil container
  14. I will get in touch with the owner and see if they recall any Bentleys in the family history. That is certainly possible. I actually do have a 20/25 RR in my shop right now (coincidence or what) The locking knock off and threads would all be in the Hub and Nut? Is that correct? Perhaps I can get one of the wheels and take off the cover. Many thanks for the response
  15. The 10 HP Stanley's are great cars to drive. Good looking car, good luck w the sale. Do you have an asking price? Is the car still in the UK?
  16. A neighbor was cleaning out a garage that has been in his family for a few generations. There were two of these wheels, and he asked me if I had any idea what they were from. Well, I do not but bet someone here will. They have splines, so I am assuming knock-offs.
  17. Chris Thanks for pointing out those rare original features, A real treat to see them Good luck w the sale
  18. I have used Gas Tank Renu in the past and have been very satisfied, but this tank is fairly nicely painted. So, I drained it and scraped as much of the Goo off the bottom as I could reach. Next I ran some solvent through to clean out all the sticky stuff (its hard to believe that this stuff used to be gasoline). Then I poured a couple gallons of Evaporust in the tank and sealed up the tank. I left the Evaporust in there for 2 days and rolled the tank around 3 or 4 times a day. Drained, and rinsed it out with water and WOW, it looks great!! I had used Evaporust before, but mostly to clean up hardware. I am very pleased with the job it did inside that gas tank. Thanks for the suggestions Even the Dogs were impressed
  19. I knew the dogs would steal the topic ? Golden Doodles, The Mom is pretty helpful, the son is more interested in chasing squirrels
  20. Apologies for a "non-auto" question, but I figured it was close enough. My help has been requested to get this Farmall Cub running after sitting for many years. There was about 3 gallons of nasty gasoline in the tank along with a fair amount of rust and some grayish color goo on the bottom. So my question is... What have others done to successfully clean out a tank? someone told me to fill it with Apple Cider Vinegar ? I asked my staff what to try, but they were no help! Im certain I'll get some great suggestions here Thanks
  21. Thank You, but I found one from Jay.
  22. A few options!! Thanks to all who responded
