I understand that. It's just that I feel a little like Hansel and Gretel, except I'm leaving a trail of oil drops from my house to where ever I visit. I did...
Chuck, I think it's the general nature of the beast. I've generally approached it that if it isn't dripping oil over the place then something's not getting ...
David, I recently re-ringed a 1 cylinder 1907 REO with new 1/4" wide piston rings but when I took the chassis to an excellent California restorer to 'breathe...

I am losing pedal on my Mascotte's clutch. I am assuming this clutch is similar to Model I and perhaps Q clutches. It appears as if there is an adjusting nut...

For my 1911 Model I I need a couple of tubes, one wheel runs flat every so often, and I have the impression that repairing the tube is not the right thing to...
Tony, 32" X 3 1/2" is a 25 inch tire. Just multiply the 3 1/2 by 2 = 7. Subtract 7 from 32 = 25. You need a 25" tube and tire flap. I use 33 X 4 tires on my...
