President’s Message
I have been pleasantly surprised by how moderate our weather has been these last few weeks, - - not
as nice as our Snowbird Members might be enjoying but not bad nevertheless and certainly
conducive to our involvement with a few non-touring activities that are not weather dependent.
First is that we have largely completed our volunteer work to get the Model T and Model A
members of the 100 car inventory the Olds College plans to auction off next June 23rd operational,
and our being the only car club to be recognized in their promotional literature as College Sponsors.
Good publicity!
Secondly, with Bruce Brander having his motor re-babbitted is the impending "babbitt viewing session" which will
prove interesting to those members who have registered to view that process.
Thirdly, (that's an awkward word?) I must remind everyone that under Chris Brancaccio's leadership we are
participating jointly for the first time with the Model T's Club in this year's Feb. 22nd through 24th World of
Wheels weekend in Calgary, - - with this year's display designed to illustrate the difference between equivalent
Models of the T's and the A's.
Lastly for now, I must thank Dean Potter and Mike Hill for once again agreeing to review our financial records for
the previous year, in this instance for 2012. Much appreciated Gentlemen!

Brancaccio who is currently acting as our liaison with them.
Treasurer: Treasurer Dave Dodd reported that our current account is at it's usual seasonal peak due to annual
Membership renewals but reminded us that our SVAA fees and SAIT bursary are now pending. Keith Robinson advised
that our previous advertisers had now been contacted with a view to renewing and that a new advertiser had also joined the
fray. (Pro-Built Alternator and Starter).
Membership: Director JR Smith advised that 77 of an anticipated 98 potential members had paid to date.
Publications: Director Al Friesen is safely is the south still editing our newsletter with Troy Dillabough producing the
hard copies - Thank you to Keith R and Chris B for picking up and delivering the Script for the meeting.
Capital Assets: The work is continuing on the AA. Glenn Smith / Barry Osborn / Dan Adams will have a “high level “
meeting to arrange to assist Serge in getting the parts of the “AA “ to work on while Paul Chudek is away. (Post meeting
notation: Ron Rigby has now attended to this.)
Tours & Activities: Director Dean Potter is currently looking at options for any overnight tours. A Soutwest/Crowsnest
area tour is one option being contemplated and additional ideas and suggestions are most welcome. A potential club
calendar depicting club members, their cars, and a bit of dialogue, and the options associated with it being on-line and/or
printing and selling hard copies was also discussed. Please contact Dean directly re: any comments or suggestions you
may have to offer re: our 2013 Tours and Activities program.
Librarian: Librarian Irene Rigby had Ron confirm there was nothing new to report this month.
OLD BUSINESS:
“World of Wheels”. Chris (Display Coordinator) confirmed that we are joining with the Foothills Model T's Club for a
joint exhibit this year. It was suggested the Club's try to match similar body types (e.g.- a T Coupe and an A Coupe for
comparison). Chris will be in touch re: cars to display and Members to staff the exhibit.
“Olds College Auction”. Glenn Smith provided a situational update and distributed notices of a “Wine and Cheese
evening” at Cam Clark's Ford in Airdrie, - - c/w a sneak preview of the vehicles on Jan 25th, 2012.

Editor’s Notes
Hello once again from the land of no snow shovels.
My request last month to keep my email box full seems to have been successful as we are treated to
several articles from our members. A big thank you to Jim Callander, Ted Lobley, Yvon Picot and
Glenn Smith!
Please note JR Smith’s request on page 3 in regard to 2013 membership renewals. If you have not sent
him your renewal yet please do so soon in order to be included in the new Club Roster that Troy is
preparing. Thanks!
The big event this month will be the World of Wheels display and I am hoping that those attending can provide me with
some great photos for the March Script.
Excitement is also beginning to build for the J.C. (Jack) Anderson Charity Auto Auction to be held at Olds College in June
and I recommend a visit to the web site for a view of the cars:

Desperate Times Require Desperate Measures
When I first moved to New Brunswick in the early '70's my wife and I built a house in the country 15 miles
from Fredericton which overlooked the beautiful Mactaquac headpond on the Saint John River. It was an
idyllic place on the slope of a big hill. Almost directly across from our property there was a CIL explosive
storage depot partly up the hill. The area at that time quite frequently experienced storms that left huge piles
of snow needed to be cleared away if you wanted to get to work. I was never one to stay home from work
because of plugged driveways or streets for that matter as I felt duty bound to my employer. So without much
money to spare I could ill afford to buy fancy snow clearing equipment. Being the tinkerer that I was I
decided to restore an old 1947 ½ ton Willys Jeep and equip it with a homemade plow that I would control
from inside the cab. (I had to have a remote control of sorts as I hated facing the cold to adjust the plow.)
The manager of the CIL depot and I became very good friends as we both had the same tinkerer mentality.
His name was Ron and he was a very generous and resourceful person. In return for his generosity I felt
compelled to clean the snow on his long uphill driveway if he was ever in need of it. The unwritten
arrangement we had sometimes incorporated large quantities of oysters from his company from time to time –
an important and cherished staple to say the least!
One day in the middle of winter we were hit with a very nasty dump of snow with accompanying high winds
which caused big drifts. I set out to make a path to get out of my driveway and then headed out to clean Ron's
road. Just as I was finishing the job the Jeep gave up the ghost. We towed it to my garage where I set out to
investigate the problem. It didn't take long to discover I had a broken timing gear. The engine was a Super
Hurricane flat head six. Parts were not easy to get and when I did find a supplier I was told the delivery of a
new gear may be as long as six weeks. I was quite upset and decided I could not live (and risk missing work)
without a plow and set out to make myself a gear. I found a nice piece of hard maple and after sawing it to
proper dimensions put it on my lathe and turned it to the correct diameter. Once I had the exact shape and
size I then painstakingly started manually cutting the teeth. It was a very tedious and delicate job to maintain
the correct spacing and shape and the precise angle of each tooth. After many hours of work and ensuring
the woodruff slot was cut in the right place I then was proceeded to install it. That fix worked very well and I
was able to finish the plowing season without further difficulties.
Whenever I see Ron he always reminds me of this story. I only wish I had kept the gear after I replaced it
with a proper fibre one as it was still in pretty good shape.

Swedging Drums and Hot Riveting Roller Tracks
Ted Lobley, Stampede City Model A Ford Club
In the summer of 2011, I saw an advertisement in our newsletter for slant windshield
Town Sedan. I had always been intrigued by this model so called the number in the
ad. The car was in Saskatoon, SK, about a 400 mile trip so my son Geoff and I
combined looking at the car with a trip to my mother’s in Prince Albert, SK. Off we
went.
We looked at the car and drove it. It had been restored in the very early 1980s and
appeared to be well done. It had been driven a mere
360 miles since. The engine was ’28 or 291 somewhat
disappointing but not unreasonable. Looking at the
wheels, I could see that they were wheels of many
welds and would need replacing. The tires were Good
Year Diamond Treads that had come with the car in
the 1970s. I expected that we would have to do
considerable brake work. That was our initial focus
Figure 1: Our Town Sedan on arrival in
Calgary, October 2011
as I hold as a fundamental truth that, first and
foremost, a car must be able to stop very well.
We purchased the car and trailered it home where the work began. Sure enough, the
drums were in the 0.0110 range – certainly in need of replacing. The roller tracks had
been flattened with a grinder thus they too had to be replaced.
Here I was in need of new drums and roller tracks, not being able to spell swedging
and having a very vague idea of what hot riveting entailed. Time for some research and
what better place to start than the Internet. A number of sites directed me to the
Diablo A’s site (http://www.diabloas.com/ ). The Diablo A’s have made a series of
DVDs of their technical seminars. I ordered How to Replace Your Model A Brake Drums
and Shoe Linings. I must have watched it at least three times then I swung into action.
My first call was to our son-in-law, Ed Moore who is a Heavy Duty Mechanic, Weldor
and a hobbyist Blacksmith. Without too much arm twisting, he agreed to help, even
sounding enthusiastic, after all, I am his father-in-law. With the help secured – and
access to a 50 ton press – I moved to purchasing the required parts.
Following the advice on the video and what I had learned on the Internet, I purchased
a hollow core ½” bit from Goodson’s. This was to drill wheel studs enabling us to
remove and reused the hubs. Next up were drums, wheel studs and roller tracks for
1
When we got the car home, what I had thought would be a negative turned out to be very interesting positive.
The engine number is A290 – an American engine assembled in late November of 1927. I am pondering what to do
with it. Is it worth removing and keeping as a museum piece? Any advice is welcome.

the front and back. With the advice to Duane and Terry at George Moir Antique Auto
Parts in Stony Plain, AB, I ordered bearings and seals for the rear drums. (Duane and
Terry provided me with more than parts. Their considerable knowledge of Model A
Fords was an invaluable reference.) Now to the best part – getting our hands dirty in
the shop.
We set up the drill press (Figure 2) and very cautiously drilled out the studs. Once we
had some practice, we settled in very well. We kept the bit well lubricated and let it
slowly do its work. Once the studs were removed, the hub did NOT fall away from the
drum as we expected. We had been warned in the DVD to not hammer the studs out.
Recognizing that they meant using a hammer rather than a drill press and bit, we very
gently applied some hammer-type brute force and the hub fell clear. (Figure 3) This
was going to be a breeze!
Ed then removed the wheel bearing races in each front hub. This required patience, a

hammer and a brass drift. We had new races on hand with Ed installing them prior to
swedging.
Our next step was to swedge the hubs to the drums. Ed has a 50 ton press in his shop
so that hurdle was easily jumped. Now to the actual swedging about which we had
both only seen pictures – literally. We followed the set up in the Diablo A’s DVD and
began.
First, we prepared the drum and hub by bolting them together to ensure that the holes
were in proper alignment. This took four
nuts and bolts with two washers per nut
and bolt. We then set up the 50 ton
press. It was definitely a two person job.
One had to align the press, drum, stud,
the wheel stud and hub bolt installation
tool and the other ran the press. Ed
aligned the spacer, bolt, drum and hub
and I was the “muscle” on the press. We
had the option of using compressed air to
operate the press but opted for the hand
pump so we could feel what was going on
as we swedged the bolts to the drum and
Figure 5: Swedging the hub to a front drum
hub. We did the front drums first using a
scrap piece of steel as our spacer. We
very quickly learned that the spacer had to be square or our bolts would not seat
correctly. That being learned we proceeded to swedge the bolts. We followed the same
order as we would tightening wheel nuts so we would minimize the warping of the
drum as we swedged each wheel nut. I found that the operation was completed with
about nine pumps on the press. At nine or ten pumps, I could feel the stiffening of the
resistance. Another thing for the list of things that we can read about but must
experience to fully understand.
After a couple of hours we were done. I took the front drums to Bowness Auto Parts for
turning prior to installing them on the car.
We repeated the process for the rear drums. Our spacer was invaluable to the process
but we did encounter a small problem. The front wheel bolts are domed so the spacer
applied pressure to the bolts evenly. The rear bolts are, when set up for swedging, flat
with the drum. For the rear bolts, we had to machine the diameter of our spacer such
that it was less than the diameter of the wheel nut. Upon completion I took the drums
to Bowness Auto only to find out that the diameter of the hole on the outside of the
drum was too small to allow the use of their machine. I took the drums to Aztec
Machine Works who did a fine job of turning the drums on a lathe.
Future articles include the hot riveting of the roller tracks and the installation of the
drums on the car. Any and all feedback is welcomed. I am at [email protected] .

The J.C. (Jack) Anderson Charity Auto Auction, Supporting the Future of Olds College
Over the past three months the Stampede City Model A Ford Club, and the Model T Club of Calgary took on the task of
preparing the 1923 Model T Pick-up and the Model A cars and trucks which are being put up for auction along with 98
other vehicles of various makes and models later this June in Olds Alberta.
The original list comprised of 100 vehicles donated by Jack Anderson of Calgary included six Model A's along with a
Model T ¼ ton pickup. Two of the Model A cars shown on the original vehicle list were withdrawn from the donation of
the vehicles for sale by Mr. Anderson.
Originally the project suggested by the college would be to clean and polish the cars and attempt to make simple
adjustments and repairs adequate enough to allow the vehicles to be driven over the auction block on sale day. This
original work plan expanded appreciably as the project progressed and as we attempted to either start or move each
vehicle. As most of you already know, having owned a Model T or Model A, these vehicles require TLC, especially if they
have not been driven or maintained over many years. The Model T ¼ ton Pick-up, was found to require minimal
maintenance to bring it back to life with a cleaning of the carburetor and spark plugs and installation of a new battery. It
sure helps on projects of this type to have people that are experienced with both models of cars.
One of the Model A's is a 1928 AR Tudor Sedan, complete with left hand brake and multiple disc clutch system. This car
needed fuel tank flushing, carburetor rebuilding, ignition tune-up, and starter Bendix repair along with retrieval of loose
broken Bendix pieces from the flywheel housing. A new battery was also installed.
The 1928/29 Modified Touring car had been used for a live stage play called “Showboat” which played in the Toronto
area. After our experienced crew spent several minutes trying to open the hood, somebody finally discovered the
combination. This “modified touring” car as we decided to class it, was found to be quite interesting as the frame is
extended about 14” placing the radiator rearward from the front cowl (this has to be seen to be believed). As this car was
originally meant to evolve around the 28/29 style, it was found that the 1930 spare tire wheel was inappropriate. This is
now being rectified with a proper 28/29 wheel, and a usable tire and tube donated by Keith Robinson. The spare tire
mount has yet to be re-modified to the original design. We also installed a new battery.
The 1930 Model AA Closed cab “Wrecker Truck” required minimal repairs other than for cleaning and adjustment, door
adjustment and a few other ”tweaks” for life to be brought back into this fine truck. We installed a new battery. Keith
Robinson had the pleasure of driving this truck several years ago.
Another vehicle that will be coming up for auction at the sale this June, will be a 1929 Model AA Ford 1 Ton flat deck
truck. We could say this truck should be entitled to a story of its own, but our editor would cut me off at the pass. Keeping
it short, we started out with an ignition tune-up, flame arrestor removal, fuel tank flushing, fuel line replacement, etc.
Again we installed a new battery, then the fun began. We found that the AA Truck would not shift into gear while running.
It was first thought that the clutch plate was stuck on the flywheel. Neither towing or the use of “Brake Clean” or a few
choice un-mentionable words was the cure. After a short consultation with Paul Chudek, it was decided that the Club
could not walk away and just leave it like that. The decision was made for Paul, Barry Osborne, and Bruce Brander to pull
the engine and correct the problem. It was found that the throw-out bearing carrier had been installed incorrectly when the
vehicle was originally restored. This has now since been rectified. We now need to re-pack and lubricate the water pump.
Hopefully that works, otherwise replacement will be required.
Kathy Chudek accompanied Paul to Airdrie where the cars are stored and being prepped and rather than being bored, set
about cleaning and polishing. This will lessen the work required when the cars are moved to Olds in June. Since the
original work plan was established for the vehicles being put up for auction, the college has decided to change out all
engine oils where appropriate, along with draining and replacing the radiator antifreeze. SAE 30 weight engine oil is
being procured by the Olds College for our benefit, along with 50/50 mix antifreeze, which is already on hand at the
storage facility.
Hopefully several members of our club will be in attendance on the sale days in Olds to drive the cars across the auction
block. The auction will be held on June 21-23. We still have a few jobs that require attention over the next while.

Tech Talk
Balzac Billy has promised an early spring. Hopefully that will mean warm sunny weather.
Just thinking about Spring brings thoughts of getting the A on the road again.
For those that are old hands at this there are few problems. They have their check list and go
through it carefully.
One thing to consider is what is in your fuel tank. As I have mentioned in previous columns, what they
are selling at the pumps is not what we used to have.
With the greater Ethanol content there is a greater risk of water in the tank and even the carb.
I may be worthwhile to disconnect the fuel line at the carb and drain off about half a litre of fuel into a
glass jar. Let it sit for a couple minutes. Look for evidence of water in the fuel. Water will appear as a
bubble on the bottom.
If you did not add a fuel stabilizer in your tank last fall you may have to drain more fuel, and replace it
with fresh fuel. That spare can you keep handy may not be any better.
My snowblower did not want to start the first snow fall. I had to drain the tank and use fresh fuel. It
started first try! Today's fuel has a "Best before date". Six months, if you are lucky!
