Ford never supplied that honeycomb core as shown. All were round tube and fin cores. Nice radiator, though... Frank

To me, it looks more like a late teens Chevy with those 4 bolt disk wheels... Frank

My first guess is a set of valve seat reamers, but the cutters look to be flat rather than beveled... Frank

Hershey 1990 MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!
oldford replied to carbking's topic in General Discussion
I think that's the year we got stuck in the mud in the green field with a Ford Econoline van pulling an 18' box trailer. At the end of the meet, I asked a guy on a 4 wheel drive tractor how much to tow the truck and trailer to the road. His reply was, "Herco will not allow me to charge you a penny to tow you out, but you can touch me all you want". Frank -
Dodge Brothers 8 screw on hubcaps What Year?
oldford replied to Douglas Gilmore Brown's topic in What is it?
The first 8 cylinder Dodge was 1930. Probably 1930-1933 or there abouts... Frank -
The photo is fuzzy, there may be 3 nubs that would accept a dog dish hubcap where I put red circles. 5 on 5 1/2 was used by Chevy, Dodge, Chrysler, and also large bolt Ford. The size of the center hole would be important. Frank

I went to their web site and from what I can see, the changes in design are all on the inside, not the outside. Since they appear to be the same on the outside, with all the bolt holes and attach points the same, what have you got to lose? Frank

Top tool is used to remove door handles and window cranks in Chrysler products... Frank

There was a short nose and a long nose. Automatic transmission vs standard transmission..... Frank

Bearing press for ball joints...

If it were mine, I'd use straight 30W high detergent oil. If you can't find it, use 10W-30. Frank

Please ID 1915-ish 25" wheel rim, and a cautionary note
oldford replied to PFindlay's topic in What is it?
Peter, here are some photos of the Firestone 25" rims that I have. These are 3 piece rims that have a 3" center band with a rim lock and two identical side rims that fit into groves on the center rim. These are in excellent condition with some minor surface rust. All center band locks are intact and work well. Frank -

oldford replied to PFindlay's topic in What is it?
Your rim looks exactly like a set of 25" Firestone rims that I have. Mine are 3 piece rims that have a center section with the same latch and two identical interlocking sides that support the tire bead. I'll get a photo or 2 this afternoon and post them. Frank -
cleans battery terminals. coiled end cleans the cable, other end cleans the post. Frank For some reason, the recent posts did not show on my end...

My Graham (1930) had internal expanding hydraulics. I don't think Graham had external brakes after buying from Paige... Frank

Splash Aprons? - Came with Model T project but don't look right
oldford replied to Ken Felton's topic in What is it?
They don't look like any Model T splash aprons I ever saw... Frank -
Gonna guess on the two photos above: looks like a tool to drive different size bushings. Frank

Dave, this is a known problem with the newer point sets from the "Land of nearly right." The point arm is made too long and does not line up properly with the post. Snyder's has a new point block that fixes this problem by moving the post just enough to have the two points line up. No need to ream the mounting hole. I had a similar problem with my AA when the fiber cam follower on the points wore down in less than 100 miles. The truck ran so hot due to the retarded timing. I had to throw the points away and replace them with a set of Echlin points from NAPA. Made in Mexico NOT China... Frank

Maybe Dodge Bros. Something different about it, though Frank

used to tighten or loosen a radiator petcock. Frank

The base of the irons indicate a 2-man top. Ford touring cars had a 54" bow, measured inside to inside. If you add about an inch on each side for the bow thickness, you could have a set of T bows. The windshield clamp is definitely NOT factory Model T, but it could have been changed or may be an after market set. Church is still out.... Frank

Dash is NOT Marmon... Frank

Sorry, if it is a Studebaker, I think the 6 bolt wheels indicate the Big Six. The wheel base looks awfully short to be a Stude. Side lights are wrong... I wish the photo was clearer... Frank Just found this photo of a 22 Nash. Similar lines, similar headlights, same 6 bolt wheels... Maybe.
