carbking Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Kingston made carburetors from about 1900 up through about WWII.Early in their existance, they sold to a few car manufacturers (the Ford model T is the best known). However, they had more marine, industrial, and tractor customers that passenger car.Lots of different models of Kingston.Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Dave Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 The early John Deere D tractor, mid 20's, used a Kingston similar to that. Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim5618 Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Thanks for the info. Once I knew it is a "T" carb I contacted a rebuilder who told me it is worth $600 in its current condition. My Dad should be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caddyshack Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 jim5618The carb that is pictured may very well be for an early Brush, Model T, or many other early engines. One way to tell is to verify the dimensions of the inlet flange (diameter of the opening and center to center dimension of the two bolt holes), and the diameter of the carb body. The dimensions would have to mate up with intake manifolds and there are different sizes depending on engine sizes. I have a Brush that has a later model T carb, but the later carb ran smoother that the early versions. Nice picture, keep us posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Dave Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Judging by the size of the carb to your hand, It looks rather large for a model T. Yes, I agree, you should post the flange dimensions. Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbking Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 The so-called "5 ball Kingston" is actually a Kingston model E. The Kingston Model E was produced in nine (9) different flange sizes, as well as several (don't remember the exact number) of pipe sizes (pipe threads were used instead of a mounting flange).There was even a dual fuel (10 ball) version of the model E. The dual fuel had 2 float bowls (one for kerosene, the other for gasoline).Pretty difficult to exactly identify one of these strictly from pictures. This one does at least resemble the 1909 Model T Ford; but it resembles many others as well. The center to center bolt spacing will narrow the field significantly, but still not a positive ID.Jon.

jim5618 Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 Finally got the carb from my Dad so we can ID it. More info, the mounting holes are 2 1/8" center to center. The hole to intake is 1 1/8" in diameter. the number on it is 110753. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Harmatuk Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Anyone heard of these? My dad has one. It is old and brass. I can post a picture later.I had, (sold on E-Bay), a brass carburetor similar to yours, that I wish I still had hanging, on the wall of the garage.Nice patina and hard to find. They make a pretty wall hanger.Bill H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make a pretty wall hanger.I know the feeling, Bill.. I once sold a pair of brass carbs for the Hudson Super Six, which were gorgeous sculpture in their own right.

oldcarfudd Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Consider advertising it on the Horseless Carriage Club website, hcca.org. Also the model T sites. You'll get more concentrated buyers there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cahartley Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 The early John Deere D tractor, mid 20's, used a Kingston similar to that. Dandy Dave!Dave, the early Deeres used Schebler carburetors, same as the two cylinder Hart Parr tractors.In fact Hart Parr used them to the end of production.

Dandy Dave Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Yeah. Your right... been a quite a few years since I looked at one, or cleaned one up... Years go by and my memory gets foggy-er. Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
