These three cars above all have replacement FISK Bolt on tires. Notice the bolts around the circumference of the rim. This was a fad for easy changing of tires. The tire had steel vulcanized within, I know I have a 1903 car in my shop that has the same setup.

The cars are listed with pictures . Look under FRANKLIN, and the other makes. The Franklin is a bargain...

The later front end with brakes is a big plus!

Or use a micrometer to measure the crank journal and a inside micrometer to measure the ID of the connecting rod with the cap locked in place.

Be like old Henry , carry the parts home and assemble in the house. When done cut a new patio door in.

Why not hang it from two wires?

Take it off and mail it to me , Ill have my lockman cut you one. He is 50 years in the business Mike West

This is exactly why Ive said give it a tow. Pulling it will get the oil where it needs to be to seal it up and boost the compression. I guess he hasnt ever tow started anything.

A Franklin Warner Hi-Flex is R 3 1 2 4 1 is a low stump puller gear

Id like to buy at least one more tire.. I spoke with Reichwalds widow but it didnt go far. Dale Kemmerer gave me the contact. As of a few months ago she still had the car for sale. I just dont have the contacts in the Rambler world to find another tire or two and one more wheel also. If you are able to reach out to anyone that may be able to helpI would be glad to reward you.

Mr Peterson, You are correct Alfa- Alpha... I only went to the ninth grade in Livonia (one year at the big school). I had to help out at our family farm to keep the place afloat. But did learn to put WEST after Mike even though my teachers and friends would always refer to me as WEST!!!!

Why not just click on his name SLACK and send him a message??

Pete, a carb on each side?? Have you been nipping a bit of hard cider??? smile

My wheels are Stard Universal Marked with a 1908 Pat date. 40x4.5 inches. Two of them have all the rings as well. (2 reversable side rings and one lock ring. ) I have 3 new Michelon gray ties as well.

These wheels are Marked Standard Universal Last Pat date is 1908. They are marked 40x4.5 inches. Nobody seems to know . I have 3 New all grey 31 inch Michelon tires as well...

Ed, I hear what you are saying .... but what and when did the old car hobby turn to hiring everything done. My dad had anywhere from a dozen or so cars my entire youth from our 1902 Crest to a 1958 Alpha . We fixed cars like this old RR. We had a garage with a pit, air, torches and a Sears paint gun. Fifty years later Im still fixing cars. Im not restoring them.... I get them in the shop ,clean them up and sort out what they need to get over the road. Ive had 2 - 20hp Rolls , both turned out to be good decent used cars because I think they both had better car that if they were a Chevy or Plymouth. Another point to make is not everyone can afford a Ghost but still want the RR ride to the ice cream shop. I tell a lot of youngsters , get off your phone and your ars, get some basic tools and get started. Its not rocket science.

I found this Franklin in PA several years ago, bought it and cleaned it up. The car is a excellent unmolested sedan and quite scarce. The 1933 16B models are only at a handful known. The wood in this car is in remarkable preserved condition. It had the original Stromberg carburetor on it when sold, maybe the seller still has it. If you want a full CCCA sedan, this is a good one!

I have a set of original wood wheels and rings that measure 31 inches. I havent been able to track down a car with 31 The width appears to be 4 inches. . I need to clean the rim and see what is stamped on it.

Bring it to Livonia NY . Ill get it going and you can drive it home. Guaranteed.

Joe if you want to pay a visit we can blast anything you bring up. You need a hitch on your truck and get that trailer regestered.

The point that bothers me is this is a old restored running driving car when parked. They dont jump time just setting. If it was running fine when parked, has spark now, Id be inclined to think its a fuel problem.... lack of getting any. Ive sqirted oil in the cylinders to seal they up also. If the cylinders are dry , she will suck better with some lube. Ive said all along , give it a tow.

Does it Fire or even try??? or just nothing.

Im looking for a FOMOCO trailer hitch. I can restore it , Mike 585 738 1541

I dont know the maker or the year , but Ids odd enough I wish it was in my garage!

OK DB will not work.
