  6. ok here is the scoop on the vin number plate for the 1917 maxwell go to the passengers door and open it up then squat down and look at the base that the passengers seat sets in..you should find the plate right there facing you. if you dont see the plate then look for the holes where a very small nail would have held the plate there if you see the holes and dont have the plate then the plate has been removed good luck and hope its there... ken sams 1923 maxwell 2 door sedan owner.

  9. i have a maxwell and i am looking for spare parts if you have any parts for a maxwell in the 20's please let me know thanks ken sams
  10. hmmm well i live in south carolina and they have a funny term called cranking the engine... i do it all the time to my maxwell. what about the mill dont cars have a mill anymore where did the revolving license plate in the trunk go? but they still have the whiskey tanks in the trunk down here. and what the heck is a hose pipe? and i just found out that a bush hog is not related to a ground hog. and here is one for you...egg preserve...if you have herad of this i need to talk to you, it was made by a pharmasist here and i need some desperatily...has nothing to do with eggs.... or the"choke" what about the headlight detectors that would dim your lights when an on comming car was comming? and dont forget the spare tire...gone for ever. or the spark advance. or the vacuum wipers or the manual wipers or the float in the oilpan and have you ever jacked your car up and held it up with a wooden block while you spun the rear wheel with your hands to start the car then run to the drivers door and pushed the car off the blocks and jumped in? and what ever happened to the guy that would vacuum out your car while you were waiting for HIM to fill the gas tank? (fuel cell) where is the bubble maching in the music videos now? lawrence who? and what ever happened to elke summers. and rochester & jack and i always thought a greas gun was a machine gun that was used by the untouchables. and what about the external air conditioner that chevy had that hung on the outside of the passengers window. and what about the hollywood stop? or peeling out? hey what about rear wheel drive?...a thing of the past and i have never used my mind to steer with i always use manual steering. and always brake manually. or the high bean switch on the floor...the new switch on the turn signal switch has caused a lot of accidents in the south with people getting there foot caught in the steering wheel trying to dim there lights. and now we have congolieum instead of lenolium. down here people cook in the house and go to the bathroom outside...up north we cook outside and go to the bathroom inside.... and we never had a sears catalogue and what is corn pone? and brand new...never heard of that brand and what ever happened to hitchhikers? and burma shave signs? and hitching posts? and the really needed watering troughs...you need one of those if you drive a maxwell.... and what happened to barbershops and butcher shops? now its a hair stylist and walmart deli... and the 2 story moble home for the rich... and last but not least why were they called wreckers?
  11. i have been able to get a local machine shop to make a new back plate for my 1923 maxwell generator. So if anyone needs a new back plate then please get back to me as i can have one made for you. the owner of this shop has also said that he will make any part for my car that i might need..so if you need anything and you have an old part to show what you need and to be used to make a blueprint then let me know and i will be glad to submit it to him for a price quote and i can assure you that he is very reasonable in his rates and he is a very responsable machinest and he is well respected by the local antique car owners in the area. thanks and keep motoring. ken sams perfectly simple, simply perfect. also i sure would like to meet anyone that is online here that is in the south carolina area...it sure is lonely being the only one around that wants to keep it original.

  17. i need to know where i can get the material that was used for the straps on my maxwell.i have tried the web belts from a military belt but thats to thin..does anyone know where i can get the correct strap material. thanks a pic is provided
  18. i have removed the front wheel on my 1923 maxwell and behold there are bearings that are different than modern bearings. my question is is the entire hub suppose to be packed with grease or just the bearings....they dont pack like the new ones i bet......when i removed the grease cap on the hub it was all full of grease so i need to know if it should be repacked like that or did someone just over do it when they packed them last time....which could have been when it was new...... thanks for any help that anyone can give me.....i can provide pics of the bearings and races is anyone needs to see them..they are really different shaped than any i have seen before. thanks again ken sams
