BJ has been working on a bunch of Model T transmission drums and gears ⚙️ checking them out for cracks pitting and grooves. Most will get new drums and or gears from Dave’s Machine Shop. Which is the best. Riley has been sorting parts and getting them organized for us: he says hi. 👋

One of many projects that we are rebuilding is a 1907 Model R Ford Engine. Who gets to see the inside of this block and transmission housing, not many do. This early Ford alphabet car: as they call them before the Model T was casted out of aluminum and very primitive in the way it was designed. We are trying to bring this back from the dead and run another 119 years! 🔧⚙️
