Dennis Carpenter Cushman parts may have a reprint of owners manual. I dont think it is detailed enough to describe engine mounts.

Lindsay, Put the car up on blocks where the wheels are able to turn. Have someone apply the brakes and see if all wheels lock up. adjust cables.
I believe Dennis Carpenter Cushman parts has drums and brake shoes.

A good spring shop may be able to make them for you if you have dimensions or a pattern..

Clean the points good with a point file or 220 emery paper. Search Olson Gaskets for head gasket and Binder books for owners manual

I share your interest in early electric cars. while looking for the electric, I am working on a replica of a 1902 Baker, It has a 24 volt electric motor and solid state controller.

There are places like radiator shops that repair old gas tanks. they cut holes in the side and boil them clean and weld them back up. I think they could repair yours

Charles, I sure enjoyed your website. There is so much information there especially on antique electrics and the navigation is excellent.
Thanks for sharing your literature.. Early Electric Cars Archives - Chuck's Toyland

I own a 1913 auto wagon and have some IH literature. I believe the 1907,8,9 had a Patten leather buggy front. The short hood was 1910 and 11. The 1912-15 had a bigger hood and radiator (fake on air cooled.) I have serial number lists if the plate is still on the car. The auto buggy body had a “u” shape or dipped between the seats. The auto wagon was straight back from the front seat .
There is a good instruction and parts book available from Binder books. It shows the 1912 but may be of help.
The 2 rods on the carb connect together with a clamp. They join together towards the front of the car. . Im glad my two rods had not been disturbed so I didn’t have to figure that one out.
I am not aware of any tank under the running board.
My wagon has 3 tier Castle side lights. Several brands will fit the brackets
Here is a registry of auto wagons, unfortunately many have the wrong year, we take what the owners state their year is http://vihtr.com/1907-1915/

I have used PC7 epoxy, very easy to find in the states. Fill,sand and paint. The fill has lasted many years.

Thanks for sharing your story Corey. Looks like a great job that you are doing. I think that you will be very proud of the truck if not already. I think that you will find the Old IHC forum interesting. http://oldihc.org/phpBB3/index.php
See 1940 and older. Jim

Various styles of top bow sockets and wood bows are still being made for Amish buggys. They are not expensive. If you cant find a buggy shop in your area try Woodlyn Coach, Millersburg, Ohio. (330-674-9124)

I sent to Tom Rootlieb my best front fender from my 1912 cadillac. 2 years later he got around to making a pair for me. He has the pattern. (Rootlieb Calif)

The engine is 2 cycle hand start with the wheel attached to the crank shaft. The wires are attached to a set of points designed for a buzz coil ignition. It looks like the engine needs to be geared down with a jack shaft to turn the back wheels. That being said, you could have a fun project making it run. It is definitely unique and people would be interested in it.

I need two wheels for a Bliss Surrey. Any help would be appreciated.
I believe that Stutzman's wheel works made the original Bliss wheels. They are still in business and can make new wheels for you. contact Noah Stutzman 330-897 1391. they are located in Baltic Ohio Jim

It sounds like a hoax. I had a few responses like that when searching for 1920 transmission gears.

I had that happen on a tractor, the pin that holds the float came partially out and the float would bind up and cut off the gas on hard turns. I just needed to push the float pin back in place.

I love survivor cars, and love your electric. The Ford museum and Jay Leno have Detroits. They could help if you find the right person.
