The Ford Barn

I've got a lull in the resto work. I took my early 28 starter to the rebuild shop to install new brushes and the guy took out the end cap oilite bearings and then couldn't get a replacement. I didn't ask him to replace the bearing. He handed it back to me and said "no charge, I couldn't finish it." None listed in Brattons catalog either but found one I think will work. I've taken the parts waiting time to rebuild a few tillys and adjust one zenith. 7 more tillys and 4 zeniths to go. Oh and varnishing the doors on my 36 woodie.

Have lots of tilly parts but floats are pricey. Have 5 or 6 more cores but with expensive parts missing. Can't remember how I got 70 float valves!

Have 5 tilly bottoms with stripped drain plugs. Anyone know how to fix one of those?

Are you going to be selling some of those carbs?

From the topic, I thought this was going to be about pasta and pizza.

How do you spell h-o-a-r-d-i-n-g??

mrtexas · 09-07-2015, 06:51 PM

These are the last of several dozen tillys I have restored and sold. I quit selling them when the great recession hit and I couldn't get $100 for one. Tagged ones have been road tested.
Sold the couple dozen zeniths I had after I discovered how easy it is to restore tillys and how much more work it is to restore zeniths. I'm selling out of Model As.

Most people spend on warranties and never use them. Why not extra $$$

Now that's a stash! FB should change your name from MrTexas to MrCarbs!

I give a 30:30 warranty. 30 seconds or 30 feet. I have a satisfaction guarantee however. If you don't like the first one I'll send a second one. Don't like that one return and get your money back. Hadn't noticed the 6 month deal before!
