alsfarms Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 Hello Terry, Like your other projects, It will be nice to see how you complete the Mitchell radiator cap project which is so very similar to the Locomobile cap I need to make. I need to spend some time on the phone with someone from the Smooth-on company and learn for myself what materials are best to use for my application.

alsfarms Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) This piece may be for a 6 cylinder 48 series Locomobile. Can one of you 48 owners please confirm. Al Edited April 3, 2019 by alsfarms correction (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsfarms Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 If you have any loose Locomobile "tidbits" or heavy parts, this is a good location to get your extra parts to where they can be put top good use and help another Locomobile restoration along.

alsfarms Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 If you have some beat up or missing Locomobile hubcap medallions, check these out on EBAY. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Here is another offering from the same vendor in Washington State. These hubcaps really look nice! I think this hubcap would be proper for any Locomobile up to 1913 and maybe 1914. I do know, from the listed measurement, this cap will fit the front wheels but NOT the rear. So, if you are thinking of putting some nice new hubcaps on your Locomobile you would need two of these and two larger OD rear hubcaps that have the raised boss to connect with the rear axle and hold it in place. I will check with the vendor and see if he has the pattern for the correct CAST rear hubcap for the same vintage Locomobile. I was hoping the picture would be larger, check out the EBAY auction for this Locomobile hubcap.

Ben Popadak Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I'm sure it must be 1899 Locomobile as all Locomobiles are 1899. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 Hello Ben, Nice third member rear cover! I wonder what caused the crack damage? Maybe a gear failure? Maybe water freezing? I am surprised that this piece looks very similar to a Timken unit cover. Is this cover yours? How much are you wanting for the cover? Maybe someone is looking for this exact piece to complete a 50 year restoration. 🙂 Do you have any other loose pieces? Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Popadak Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Hello Alan, Questions 1 - 6, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, Yes, Probably would sell it but ??. no other gas Locomobile parts as my last Locomobile sidelight I traded for some Maxwell pieces in Utah. Okay Alan, what year is the rear axle cover? I can't find any pictures on-line of the back ends of Locomobiles. Ben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 Hello Ben, I am not sure of the year of the third member cover, but would guess pre 1920. Do you mind if I re-post the picture over on the 38-48 chat forum? Maybe one of those guys can fill in the blanks as to application and year. Do you know what material the cover is made out of? Your Locomobile light provided me the donor chimney that I needed to complete a set of Locomobile script side and tail lights for my project. Thanks again!

alsfarms Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) If you have not taken a look, on the main for sale forum here on the AACA website, take a look and you will see a later model Locomobile 38 chassis and engine for sale. It does merit a look or two as not many Locomobile projects are left in the wild. I hope this group of parts will find a buyer and a caring new owner.

alsfarms Posted October 21, 2019 Author Share Posted October 21, 2019 I have not heard of much in the way of Locomobile parts being made available at Hershey or other Swap meets this year, (being available for sale).

alsfarms Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 I am getting set to embark on a couple of Locomobile parts duplication projects. They include, (but not necessarily limited too) the following as shown in the pictures. If you have an interest in any of these items, or have other small parts that you would like to have replicated, please speak up. The more Locomobile owners taht are helped with a joint venture, the better for everyone. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 For your general information, I am set to start the duplication process on the three Locomobile items above. Number one is the trade mark tag, Number two is the Serial tag and Number three is a threshold. If you think you have a need now or will be needing a copy of any of these tags in the future, contact me and I can include the pieces you need in this project.

alsfarms Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share Posted May 26, 2020 Hello John, I am not sure that thresholds were a tightly controlled and released item per model or year. What are the dimensions of this piece you have? Could you post a picture of the back side of your piece? Are you lucky enough to have a pair of these? You may find a few other Locomobile owners who would potentially share in a project to get them reproduced. I have several sets of the smaller threshold I have spoken for. The replicated thresholds and other pieces should be just about ready to ship. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share Posted May 26, 2020 John, I re-read your posting dated 4-4-18. Do you have a good taillight bracket pattern or casting? Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 Update on the new casting project, pictured above, that has been in place for a while. These new parts are one, The Locomobile Trade Mark" tag; two the serial number tag, and three is the narrow Locomobile script threshold plate. The update is this, these parts will be available for those who have them on order in a week. I did order some extra pieces so if you have a need, drop me a PM.

alsfarms Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 Recast parts update.... GOOD NEWS! I have, in hand, the three recast Locomobile pieces shown above. For comparison, please check out the attached pictures of the new castings. They turned out very nice! I did order a few extra pieces of each so if you have a current or future need, now is your chance. Those who respond here have first chance before I list the extra pieces on EBAY.
