rjp Posted November 3, 2021 Author Share Posted November 3, 2021 Great, I think, is that better than a 17 or is the 17 the one a person wants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a 104 year old car? Everything! 😎 Sorry, sometimes I can’t help myself. Getting into pre WWI cars is a fantastic pastime. Stick you toe in the water slowly. Join the HCCA, and also start reading the early Buick threads.....they are very active for the early car guys. Stude always made good car......and like everyone else, they have common issues. Join a few car clubs........single marque. Buick, Stude, Ford T, ect. Buy a complete and running car.....stay away from what looks like a bargain that needs work or missing parts. I have a 15 T, a world upon to themselves. A T as a collector cars is totally different from anything else...........so understand that they have no basis in common with any other car. Go to local meets and shows, or ride along on a tour. Takes a while to figure thing out. Most importantly is to have fun and meet new and interesting people.

If the engine has not been turned over for some time one of the things you could check is that the water pump shaft is free in its bearing. The pump is driven by the cam gear and if the shaft is seized/binding in the bearing the gears can be damaged. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Yes, be sure the water pump is free before you try to crank it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
