1928 Pontiac?

Not sure about the Maxwell connection. Notice that the front frame horns on the Maxwell extend beyond the wheels. Possibly a 1906 Reo 1 cylinder...

According to my info, wheels were painted gray with pin stripes. Ford offered natural colored wheels as a replacement through dealers, so maybe Reo did also... Frank

Autolite 3076 is a direct replacement for C4 Frank

The REO club is your best source for information, but I can tell you what I know, since I am a member and have a 1922 T6 7 passenger Touring. Yours is technically a model U6, touring cars were model T and roadsters were model U. Beige body color was optional on roadsters only with nickled radiator shell and drum headlights were standard in 1925. Nice car... Not sure about the Trippes... my opinion is they are too flashy for a Reo... VIN of 87663 puts it in the 1926 range, but who cares... Frank

Not sure, but I think that belt drive may be for an air pump. It also drives the fan. I doubt that they would use a flat belt to drive a governor, but maybe... Frank

Dave, how's the snow out your way? Lots of calls for downed power lines... Be safe... Frank

Spring spreader??

yes, 23" demountables...

Those 3 arms can rotate around the outer edge to line up with the studs... Frank

Don't forget band aids and Advil...😉

Looks like 1954 Ford F-100 Frank

Easy to remember Red on Right... 🤣 Frank

My 22 Reo has a compartment behind the rear backrest to store the side curtains. There is a flap at the top secured with lift-a-dots that goes all across the top of the backrest. The side curtains can be stored there without folding. Nice idea and I can use the area under the seat for tools... Frank

In 2000, my wife and I drove our 1912 Model T touring car 240 miles from Rhinebeck, NY to Stowe, VT to go to the show in August. We hit rain in Chatham, NY and it poured all the way to Rutland, VT. Never used the side curtains, never got wet. Don't need no stinkin' side curtains... Frank

I have a different take on Model T's with waterpumps. today a replacement radiator can cost upwards of $1000. And the one you get from the VERY limited list of suppliers may not fit right. The thermosyphon system is designed to cool and engine at a temp very close to boiling. The length of time between danger and proper temp is small, allowing ample time to do damage. I speak from over 40 years of owning Model T's (over 15 of them over the years). I have since sold my T's, but if I still owned one, I would gladly trade authenticity for functionality. Have you priced what an engine rebuild costs these days. That little 4 banger will cost you upwards of $5000, and that's if your transmission is good. Frank

I don't think this is a Ford. I searched many different makes from 1916 through 1922 or so and could not find any with non-demountable clincher wheels. The closest thing I could find was this 1918 Oakland, but it still has demountables.... Frank

Many trailer wheels fit small bolt Ford hubs. Possibly a 1935 bent spoke Kelsey for Ford. Frank

They can be yours...🙂

Pocket tool for checking spark. Lay the concave section on the sparkplug wire and watch the spark through the small window. Frank

Do you need the metal disk with lining or do you need to have your metal disks relined? Fort Wayne Clutch can reline... Frank

I hesitated replying to this thread for obvious reasons, as will be shown. There is always a bit of talk about how someone in the past has butchered these collector cars by doing something like the plumber's fix above. "The mechanic should have known better than to do that!!" Maybe, just maybe the person who fixed the Lincoln in that manner considered it to be merely a used car that he needed to keep on the road. And, maybe, the correct sender was not available at the time of the repair. Now the mechanic is faced with a decision - fix it the best way I can or leave the car in the garage until it can be fixed properly, according to today's standards. Come on, guys, it's just a car...
