One could order a rebuilt 'TECOmaster' motor through their catalog. Instead of replacing valve cover decals with the O.E.M. ones, Timothy Eaton's used their own decals. 'TECO' and 'TECOmaster' were used on several items sold by the Timothy Eaton Co., including lawn mowers, gardening and hand tools, etc. Craig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xander Wildeisen Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Cool stuff, nothing that I could not live with out. I am glad people have saved/stored collections like that. Neat to see a bunch of unrestored cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Walling Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Something for everybody there. I'm wondering if there is a strong market for the early cars (10's and 20's) or is it past their prime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Luddy Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 The 65 Pontiac is mis-labelled. That looks like a Canada only Strato Chief. The 53 Meteor is a Canada only model also, along with the Gray-Dort and the McLauglins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 At least a lot of the stuff is in pretty good storage, except the tractors, which were probably not a lot worse when he got them anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alleyyooper Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 The tractor labeled 101 super is really a 101 senior with a continial 6 cylinder engine. MFG. 1942 thru 1946 when it was replaced by the Massey Harris 44 6. Cost 1,300.00 dollars new. A brother in law owns a 1945 model. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lebowski Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 1964 Pontiac Buick? It's definitely a Pontiac but I don't know where they got the Buick part from.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lump Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Wow, what a collection! The person who accumulated all that stuff must have had no interest in restoring or driving any of that stuff. Just wanted a museum, I guess! I got a chuckle out of that 1961 Ford labeled as a 1966... Not many similarities there! LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercer09 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I'm wondering if there is a strong market for the early cars (10's and 20's) or is it past their prime? that market has softened considerably, unless you own a Mercer or Stutz..........................!

Guest alleyyooper Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Case cars built from 1910 sold thru farm equipment dealers. Early ones powered by a 4 cylinder engine. last model built and sold was a few 1927 by then they had a 6 cylinder engine. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the dust bowl days of the 1930's,many farmers took out the engines and used real horse power to pull their fuel starved cars.R.B.Bennett had the misfortune of being prime minister of Canada at the time,and was blamed for the country's economic woes.Similar vehicles in the U.S. were called "Hoover Carts". I had a 490 Chevy body and frame that came from Alberta that had been used this way.

Vintageben Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I'm pretty sure that is the tops of rocker covers you can see in the crate I think in 1925-6 they had dual rocker covers not one piece as later seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Luddy Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 3 minutes ago, Larry Schramm said: Small Block Chevy??? The Canadian only Pontiac's used Chevrolet engines across the board. The pre 63 inline 6 was bored to 261 c.i. for Pontiac use instead of the 235 Chevy c.i. It had a different marking on the block casting referred to as " Lieutenant bars" The V8's were the same as the Chevy's mostly supplied by the St.Catharines McKinnon Engine plant except for the Mk IV Tonawanda big blocks from mid 65 on.

I had my '21 Chevy at a cruise night years ago,and a small crowd gathered when I started it up,hood open. A lanky dude with a long pony tail commented "wow man.The original Chevy small block"! He was right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheezestaak2000 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 2 things, the cadillac is a 57, not 56, and chevrolet used the 261 engine in trucks for many years. the first corvettes used the 261 truck cam in the 235. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
