I recently bought a group 2 6 volt battery from O'Reilly's here in the North East for $122 with 830 cranking amps. Not sure where you are...

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...

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...

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...

The 3 arm brake puller looks hard to use as the arms do not seem to bolt to the brake drum studs.
Those 3 arms can rotate around the outer edge to line up with the studs...

I've been thinking what tools would be best for a beginner? Some of this would hinge on what type and era of car they would be working on. Also, how deeply involved one would want to do their own work. A good place to start. Here's a list that will get the beginner started.
1. Combination wrench set 3/8th to 1-1/4. Also a metric set if you intend to work on post war foreign autos.
2. Socket sets. 1/4 drive, 3/8th drive, and 1/2. Standard and Metric. Standard and deep sockets for both.
3. A ballpeen hammer.
4. Oil filter wrench.
5. A Screw driver set.
Don't forget band aids and Advil...😉

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...

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...

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.

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....

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

There should be two ears that retract when you turn the key. Most likely the sides of the lock body are stuck to the large chrome disk. Maybe penetrating oil around the perimeter of the lock will free it... Good luck. Try not to force it, since the body of the lock is pot metal.
