If it has a separate head (not jugs), install the spark plugs, remove all head bolts, and crank the engine. Engine compression should be enough to separate the head.

1912 & 1913 were both Right Hand Drive. One set of pedals I have are from a 1912 Buick Model 34 Roadster.

Rod, I have two sets of Buick pedals. Top set measures 15" outside to outside on the mounting brackets (one side of the clutch pedal is missing. Bottom measures 15 3/4" mounting brackets.

I had a lost USPS small package. So, I filed a claim via the USPS website. It took weeks for USPS to finally deny the claim. It reminded me of this video:

I agree. We just need the diameter, thread pitch & length to find replacements. ARP | The Official Web Site (arp-bolts.com)

John, I suggest you post them here so more Buick restorers can use them: PBR@BrassBuicks.groups.io | Files

Yes, I have heard this too. I have heard that the trunk actually sagged because the frame was shortened in the rear.

In 1925, Buick did use the 600wt equivalent lube oil in the rear end.

Most probable cause is rear end lube is too light (should be SAE 250 or 600wt). Second most probable cause is rear end is too full. Third " " " " is plugged drain tube on the inside of the brake backing plate.

My 1913 Model 31 Buick has been toured 2-3000 miles annually for the last 30+ years. The MMO gas mix has always been in the tank when my father toured and for the last 20 years that I have toured with this car. It has never had a stuck valve; even after my father had a complete engine rebuild done. Several years ago, I was invited to drive another bigger Model 17 Buick on the Gas & Brass Tour of the great lodges of New England. Evidently the owner's daughter forgot to add MMO at the previous fuel stop. That car developed a stuck valve that resolved itself after MMO was added at the next fuel fill-up. I shifted down for a relatively steep downhill section that put enough back pressure on the engine to release the stuck valve. The owner was the one that taught me to use airline booze bottles to add measured amounts of MMO to the fuel. All my cars have been upgraded to use modern fuel with ethanol because you can't always find non-ethanol fuel when touring in different locations. Ethanol fuels provide much less lubrication than non-ethanol fuels, so adding a little MMO or other mixed gas lubrication is even more important. I also treat with Sta-Bil fuel stabilizer when my cars are prepared for winter storage.

MMO can also be added directly to your gasoline. Any small engine oil mix will do too. I use one airline booze bottle of MMO for every ten gallons while filling up my older cars.

Not sure if they still offer these: file:///C:/Users/Mark%20Shaw/Documents/31%20Buick/SHUTTER%20THERMOSTAT.mht

In my opinion, proof will not be in pictures; but in seeing actual examples in sunlight, shade, overcast, etc.

Maybe a socket for a top of some kind. They didn't put whip sockets in Horseless Carriages. This is the whip holder from my grandfather's horse drawn milk delivery wagon.

Not a whip socket.

Paul, Hopefully, you will get to enjoy a one & two cylinder tour someday. My 1908 Model F Buick is the one getting gas at about 4 minutes into the video:

I fully agree!

Yes, many of us do! And we are the ones who get the most enjoyment from this hobby!

You might start with one of these off the shelf parts. Model T Tie rod yoke ball, straight shaft, 2721A (modeltford.com)

SAE 250 or equivalent. Most rear ends have a bottom drain and a fill plug at the half full. If you use lighter weight lube, it will often leak out onto the rear brakes. Viscosity Charts - Bob is the Oil Guy

Just wipe it down and be glad it finally had a soft bath in soft water with no minerals or chlorine.
