Re: Aligenmet issue 31
My Model T had a bent axle. It had the wrong caster (not enough) on one side. I bought a 6 foot pipe wrench, wrapped aluminum around the axle where the wrench attached, and lifted the end of the wrench with a floor jack. The front end of the Model T came off the ground. That procedure straightened the axle. The axle on a Model T is not as beefy as the ones on Model A's. It may be possible to do the same thing on a Model A with a special wrench that was 10 or 12 feet long. Someone with a cutting torch and welder could probably make one.
