I would love to cruise around Greenfield Village...give us a couple of years though!

We got the differential installed yesterday! Everything spins smoothly!

Looking great...keep her going!

Hi Steve...at the moment there are a lot of parts that are "finished" but need to be fitted with mating parts. Other than the engine being assembled, the front suspension is still missing a few brackets and links. The clutch brackets need to be finished (they are only welded and now need...

Okay...it has been a while since the Ford Quadricycle has been worked on but we finally got around to making a little progress. I left the college for 2 years to teach high school and was not happy...now I am back at the college and back to the Quadricycle with a new set of enthusiastic...

Great job Brian...I was there from the beginning and am happy to see such a great running engine. I will be sharing this with my engineering students.

Thank you ShopShoe. I will check with the Model T guys on the T forum. I purchased that book through Amazon...hopefully it is as simple as they say it is.

Help! I need my Maytag flywheel magnet re-charged! Does anyone have the capability of doing this or know someone who does? I have been trying for 3 days and have gotten nowhere. Thanks in advance!

Brian, I've been following this every week since the start. I am looking forward to seeing it run...as of course you are. Looks great.

After a couple of shows I decided to add a counterweight to the flywheel. Ford originally had a counterweight on his Quadricycle so I decided to do the same. The engine would begin to shake itself apart. It runs much, much smoother now.

I have used paper gaskets on my Elmer's...but I only use compressed air.

So the show was 5 hours from my doorstep! Not sure how I got that wrong before but the weather was great. An exhibitor brought an old Maytag washing machine that was fully operational which was worth the trip for me. I picked up a 1929 Maytag engine a few weeks ago and it was nice to see the...

Wow! What a great idea...just saw this today. I'll be watching the rest of this build...very cool.

There is an engine show next weekend in Brownington Vermont (6/19 to 6/20). It is 4 hours from my door step but I plan on being there and will take lots of pictures and videos. Here is the information. http://www.vermontgasandsteam.com/home.htm

Wow...those castings looked great.

Attached is a movie I created from the Whately Engine Museum Show in Whately Massachusetts. They have an amazing collection of engines of all kinds plus other great vintage/antique items! At noon a very loud steam whistle let everybody know it was lunch time! There were old cars and tractors...

EVERYONE! Thank you so much for the information! I came home, filled the tank 3/4 full, and spun the flywheel. The engine started right up and kept running strong as hell. I stopped it intentionally and started it up again and it ran great again! It also slowed down and sped up based...

Folks...I'm having problems with my vapor fuel system on my Quadricycle engine and was hoping for some guidance. My engine runs fantastic off a fresh pour of Coleman fuel. After a minute or so it stops working. If I take out the "old" gas and introduce new fresh gas the engine runs great...
