Lost in space....
or should I say 4 wheel storage unit Yup it's looking like I need an early spring cleaning, curious how you other Fordbarners handle the long winter months in the garage.
Trying to fit the "New 2 Me" grill shell/trim and hood on the 39, change the bands and restore the "Hogshead" on the T can be challenging with all the stuff. Hey the drum kit was free and couldn't say no, had to keep the fat bikes warm to make room for the snowblower now in the shed Thankfully the day's are getting longer and warmer.

Not very well, I'm afraid, However down south here we get enough sunny dry days to warrant keeping a path to the driveway clear..

Re: Lost in space....
Love the drums! I had a film crew want to rent my '38 truck for a music video shoot. I asked them what they had planned and it turned out they wanted to set up a drum kit in the back and have the band playing as the truck drove along. My next question was "Have you ever seen a '38 pickup?".
Looking good! |

Re: Lost in space....
Garage gets full and disorganized then with the next warm day I clean things up and start on the next project, always plenty to do as long as it is not too cold. On warm days I can pull something out to create room to work.
Funny, the idea was with "down-sizing" to this new house and building a smaller garage so that I would not collect more stuff than I had with more property and much larger garage. As you can see that idea did not work so well..... |

Re: Lost in space....
Guys that is a 25 hp, weighs about 4500 on the cart. Restored and runs like a charm. I have it tuned so that I can start it by hand myself. Fun toy. Bad habit or as some say, multiple diseases.
Bill PM me, lets share stories. |

Re: Lost in space....
Mark that is a "whopper" the hit/miss engines are another nice "affliction"
What year is your T, mine is a 26 Fordor. I am looking for a 2hp Fairbanks to run my "little" Meyers water pump. Something else that is currently taking up garage floor space. Last edited by 39portlander; 02-28-2021 at 10:06 AM. |

Re: Lost in space....
Nice Meyers. I had one like it hooked to a 1.5 hp. John Deere, I rebuilt the pump and boy that thing could pump water.
My T is an 18. |

Re: Lost in space....
If I find a Hit&Miss engine I’m buying it. Always wanted one of those. Very relaxing just listening to them popping off as they idle.......Mark

Grandpa Frank had a litany of swear words when the B was bucky about starting.

Re: Lost in space....
No cussing but some heavy breathing and a load of patience. Keeping it "tuned" helps but remembering all of the steps is even better....wait what did I do there??
