What have you made with your Model A parts
I noticed a wheelchair/ rocker that was posted here recently . Has anyone else made anything from Model A parts? Post some pictures of your creations.

Re: What have you made with your Model A parts
I call it a "wheel chair" because it's a chair made from wheels and other Model A parts! Yeah, it's actually a rocker and quite comfortable. Here's another couple shots of it.
Since I'm a Ford guy, I cut the rear section from a '57 Chevy and made a sofa from it. If it had been a '57 Ford I would have restored it! Jim |

I made a tool from a broken end plate and Bendix to help free up stuck engines.

Re: What have you made with your Model A parts
Another clock. I did not make this but my wife made it for me for a Christmas present a few years back. Shortly after I finished the huckster.

I used a worn out rear brake shaft to make an oil fill pipe remover.

Re: What have you made with your Model A parts
1. The guy I bought my $25.00 1930 Coupe from 55 years ago had a Model A two (2) blade fan mounted up high on a Model A greased water pump with no packing -- he used it as a toy windmill for his (3) children.
2. Years ago, saw many Model A axle housings cut & provided with a semi-circle notch to be used as non-adjustable jack stands under vehicles. |

Re: What have you made with your Model A parts
Some useful Model A tools can be made from Model A Components.
The following tools were made from unserviceable Model A parts. The description is in sequence with the photos. 1. Jack stands: Made from unserviceable rear axle housings. Used to raise the rear of the car up high enough to slide my rolling axle assembly jig under to accept the removal of the rear axle assembly. The last photo in the sequence is a shot of the rolling jig. 2. Pinion assembly pusher inner: Made from the aft end of an unserviceable torque tube. Used with threaded studs and nuts to push the pinion assembly back into the banjo. Used mostly for installing overdrives when the rear axle assembly was not disassembled. 3. Pinion gear tool: Made from the threaded end of an unserviceable rear axle shaft. Used to clamp a pinion gear in a lathe or a drill press. Quite often it is necessary to slightly turn down the sleeve of the pinion gear where the forward bearing sits. This is especially true with reproduction pinion gears. The forward bearing should not be an interference fit. It should slide snugly if you expect to adjust the pinion pre-load correctly. 4. Rear brake drum seal removal tool: Made from the threaded end of an unserviceable rear axle shaft. Used in conjunction with a pry bar to remove the rear brake drum seal. My thanks to a fellow fordbarner for suggesting this tool. 5. Carrier pre-load tool: Made from an unserviceable spider yoke from the differential. Used in conjunction with the threaded shaft and assembly to use a dial indicator torque wrench to determine carrier pre-load. 6. Pinion double race remover: Made from an unserviceable drive shaft, pinion gear, and the rear bearing. Used in conjunction with a tool to clamp the drive shaft stub to pull the double race out of a banjo that was found at a swap meet. 7. Clutch alignment tool: It is a transmission input shaft with no modification. Used to align the clutch during installation. Tom Endy |
