Welcome Aboard Matey. I've done a ton of rewireing on all sorts of vintage autos and equipment. But you are a little futher than I want to drive for a service call. Should be someone qualified closer to you, but if not, you could bring it to me when the weather gets a little better, and I get some room in my work area as it is full right now. I'm just over the Mass border in NY. Sweet old Buick. May you have many happy miles with it! :cool: Dandy Dave!

Sssswwweeeetttt. :cool: Dandy Dave!

If the photos date from 1907, I would think it is more reminisant of an R, N, or S motor. Looks too small for a K motor, which was a 6 cylinder. The fordson "F" Built from 1916-1927, was a lot more powerful. These tractor were notorious for back flipping, as the drawbar is very close to the rearend housing and will not touch the ground in a rear-up. If the wheels caught the ground and stopped, the worm drive would climb the gear and flip the tractor. A lot of farmers were killed on the early Fordson tractors. I have had 3 or 4 "F" models though the years. Dandy Dave!

A raised glass, and a toast to another year, and many more. Cheers Dandy Dave!

There is an awfull lot of Banjo and Fiddle comming from that lectric geetar. I wish I could learn that trick. Dandy Dave!

I always likes the modern look of the Diamond T's of the 30's and 40's. I have a photo by my desk of a Diamond T, and horse trailor ,with Gene Autry on horse back. Dandy Dave!

Actually, here is Henry Fords first Tractor. No water tower like the tractor pictured but very similar in design. Fordson Photo Fordson Photo Dandy Dave!

I have seen pictures of Henry Ford sitting on this before. I belive it is gas powered and the tank is actually the water cooling tower. Dandy Dave!

Yeah, Monday nights. They have run the show from the week before at 7 PM here the last few weeks, And the new show at 9 PM EST for me. In between they have Pawn Stars. I wonder what kind of trouble Chumly will get into this week??? And what treasures the pickers will find. :cool: The history channel is 269 on the Satelite set up I have. You should see it in HD on a 52" Sony Bravia. Almost like being there. Dandy Dave!

The First most obvious reason is that Whitworth has a pitch of 55 Degrees, verses our 60 Degree pitch. Although acording to this link, things are evolving and crossing over in some instances. Dandy Dave. British Standard Whitworth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Back here in the USA, it is SAE, ( Society of Automotive Engineers) or Standard National Fine, also, Standard National Course. None of these will work on the Rolls that I have found. Neither will Metric. Also the wrench sizes are different than what we have in SAE sizes, or Metric over here. Whitworth is different than anything that I have found over here. I have had others tell me that the older Triumph Motor Cycles, and some other automotive stuff from GB is also "Whitworth" or, as you have said, BSF. If the thread pitch is different, and the wrenches do not fit correctly. Then it is not the same as we have here. Think I may dig a little deeper. Dandy Dave!

Every winter I Retire to my PC, and TV and feed the wood stove for the worst part of the season, (January and February.) And then, when the weather breaks around March or April. I come out of hybernation and work 12 + hours a day so I have enough to get though next winter. I have felt for some time now that winter is a waste of my valuble time. I feel sorry for those poor folks that have to get out in it eveyday. I hate the cold with a passion as it makes me ache all over. If I could sell this place, I would become your neighbor Mr. Earl, and enjoy some of those southern peaches with you out by the Buick Garden. Comming back from a stay with my Grandmother, who lived in Florida, back in 89, I thought Georgia was one of the most beautiful southern states I ever passed though. Lots of rolling pastures and crop farms. Dandy Dave!

It would be a couple of hour ride for me also. And, basically the weather is cold and miserable up here. I have a lot of trouble climbing around on the ground this time of the year underneath something and comming out with an honest oppinion as I Shiver in teens temps with the wind blowing down my back. Makes me ache all over just thinking about it. If it could only wait until better weather. Unless you want to buy it, and let me store it for you Mr. Earl? I could get it on a trailer and get it out of there if it was a nice, snowless day, in the 30's or 40's. :cool: Dandy Dave!

MMmmmmmm, Sweeeeeet, but Pricey. Dandy Dave!

If this guy isn't already, He should be building sets for the Movies. Dandy Dave!

These Locomotives were Built by Fate-Root-Heath and company who also built the Silver King Tractor. There is one of these locomotives at the CAMA grounds that is set up, and runs on a short piece of track. It has a Buda diesel for power. They had the rights to the Plymouth name which Chrysler ended up buying. More.... History of the Plymouth Silver King Photo link to the Plymouth. Farmall F12 Also a link to the Kent Conn grounds Where the Plymouth lives. index.htm Dandy Dave!

Currious? Is BSF, British Standard Thread? And also, is that the same as Wentworth? I have a 1930 Rolls in my shed that is Wentworth. Dandy Dave!

I wonder if they are going to put on part two? I agree, Maxwell. Dandy Dave!

I bet he would have to sell the Buick Farm to get it, But it would be soooo worth it. Dandy Dave!

There was an old local farmer friend of mine here that had a mid 50's vintage Chevy. He bought the car new, and I remember him saying that that it went back to the shop several times within a few years because the front wheel bearings would fail. He said it was equiped with ball bearings. I was supprised to find out that Chevy had ball bearings at such a late production date. Dandy Dave!

WOW!!! 719, And I was one of them! Thanks for a great forum everyone. It is really about "We the People." :cool: Dandy Dave!

While growing up on the farm of my youth, my father owned two IHC trucks. Bought both brand new from Ben Funk, the local IH Truck Dealer. The first was a 1966 3/4 ton pickup 4WD. was painted a light blue green. And the Second was a 1972 3/4 ton 4WD. I think maybe the model was a 4100. Was painted red. The 66 was a better truck overall. The 1972 would stall every morning as soon as you left the driveway and got on the road. My dad would cuss at it and then start it back up again. After that we had a 1976 Chevy. Dandy Dave!

I helped with getting rid of car stuff for one old friend. I would rather have my old friend back as his charactor was everything. Left over stuff is just that. Stuff. Dandy Dave!

My Grand dad always said, "If you can't afford the gas, don't buy the yacht." Sounds like a nice ride. May it give you many happy miles of pleasure. Happy Trails, Dandy Dave!

One other thing that came to mind. Be sure that there are no exhaust leaks that are blowing in the direction of the carburetor. I've seen this several times in the past on various cars and equipment. The leaking exaust will burn the fuel out of the intake before it gets to the cylinders. Dandy Dave!
