1928-1931 Model "a" Ford Depression Tractor on 2040-cars
Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, United States
Model A Ford "Doodlebug" This is a depression era tractor built sometime in the early 40's from Model "A" components ranging from 1928-1931. Its sitting on an original frame that has been narrowed, A Model AA (commercial truck) rear end with dual tires and added snow chains, A 4 speed AA truck transmission, and a conventional Model A Engine. The plow is operated by a winch that runs over the cowl panel going down to a makeshift plow they made using two 50 gallon oil drums cut in half. The cowl is from a 30-31 Roadster, and the original gas tank is still being used.The wood is all mostly rough cut timber, this entire tractor is about 95% original as it was made more then 70 years ago. The engine runs but does have a knock in the bottom end, more then likely the Babbitt has worn out on a connecting rod, it is possible that you could remove a shim if there is any left although I doubt it. Despite the knock it still runs and drives, lots of torque. Tractor is being sold as-is where-is. Payment due upon picking up. Delivery is possible and can be negotiated with the winning bidder. Questions can be answered by email or phone (484-524-2776)

Project Ugly Horse: Part V
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The Slippery Slope
I've had a healthy appreciation for cars that stop since one truly unfortunate incident with a runaway 1971 Lincoln Continental.
It's funny how quickly a party can turn from, "We're all having blast" to "What happened to the front of the house, and how many stitches do you think this is going to take?" Standing in a Mustang salvage shop in Kodak, Tennessee, I couldn't help but feel I had strayed into the latter territory with Ugly Horse. There was a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 plucked from a rear-ended Cobra sitting off to my left. The shelves were lined with second-hand Roush and SVT components galore, but I couldn't stop staring at a set of rotors with the approximate diameter of my chest.
2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid recalled over lack of roof padding
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Ford is recalling 33,021 units of its 2013 C-Max Hybrid not equipped with optional panoramic roof panels. During testing, the model in question returned testing results for occupant head injuries that fell outside of criteria laid out in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The issue puts occupants at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash if they are in an affected car.
The recall will begin August 19, at which time C-Max Hybrid owners can take their cars to dealers to have energy-absorbent material installed between the headliner and roof. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.

Fri, 11 Jan 2013With its influx of popular new products made in the US, Ford Motor Company has announced that it intends to hire 2,200 new salaried workers domestically this year.

There were no specifics as to where in the US these job openings will be, but Ford did reiterate that it will be spending $773 million on equipment upgrades and capacity expansion at six plants located in southeast Michigan; as a whole, Ford is investing a total of $6.2 billion to its US assembly plants over the next couple years. According to recently appointed president of the Americas Joe Hinrichs, the new jobs will be focused on areas such as engineering, manufacturing and computer software.
