Restoration of a Ford T 1912 h 5 Wood wheel
During the restoration of a Ford T was faced with the manufacture and Assembly of wooden wheels. Long before the idea of buying this car, always wondered how the wooden wheel of an old car. In General, slowly, the whole process took almost half a year... took Apart his old wheels \took out the spokes of\. Metal was brought to the sandblaster and powder painting. On the rims I had a welding brewing strong corrosion. Several hubs had cleaned and assembled 2 pairs tapered front wheel bearings. Wooden spokes decided to make it again. To this end, the States were purchased 1 new needle for the image, as well as 2 new oil seal to the front wheel hubs. ( 1 13,75 needle and the gaskets for around 5 bucks.) just had 58 pieces — 12 in each. Begged friends, the carpenters, helped to choose and purchase the right oak boards . They disbanded at the bars — billets., and agreed they obecity each on a lathe. The price for me so he did not sharpen.It's all good but experts on wooden car wheels in our city are not present. Well at least NAT helps — something bit by bit I could find. now for the work...

The first assembled wheel after standing in a warm room slightly cracked, had to sort out it. After collecting the fourth, took apart and went through the second. And as always — each worked to collect better than the previous. Of course now all this took less time.
Hi, on bus 30h3-1/2" Ford there are 2 types of wheels - the earlier, non-collapsible wooden Hoop zpracovanim with the Hoop holds the tire, \ will borchetta without removing the wheels directly on the machine\ and portable like me. more convenient to maintain.
Hi, with alignment slightly missed... Recently found vidio — hub before Assembly to check on a lathe, and if you need a little face piercing holes, the part that clamps the spokes, then it will be exactly. I didn't know that and didn't immediately. Two wheels are smooth, 2 to serve. One the rear hub is already bored through, will try tomorrow just bring to otstroit and painting, if for a couple of days to make, before the end of the week will move the wheel. Then look at how much better. This balancing has not yet been taken, but found a way to do it. At the speed of...intestine not releasing, put the optimum revs, the motor does not get hot is working fine, no perekusyvaete.
Here it is the "casting" of my dreams!
Tell us how they in operation? Balansirovka need? To how many can be dispersed?
Hi, on the wheel hub replaced and was better, to bad that the wooden spokes remember bias, this had to Tinker. Well it turned out. Maybe winter is going to collect the spare tire. How to operate — the wheel of ka wheels. . The direct load is very durable, but are afraid of side impact. Steel wheel the same scared side, but it does not fall apart like wood. When stopped, always take a look at them, but there is such a machine that a little bit is all you need to check. Impregnation and good yacht varnish coated, the spokes have no fear of water. Storage in a dry garage the same plus. Of course if the snow machine is hibernated, all would be spoiled. How much you can accelerate, this information I do not have, then someone tell me. On the road Ford 75 miles per hour holds fine. Up to 20 year almost all went to the wooden spokes.
Hi, on the cart, the other is the technological process of Assembly, everything is different.
clearly. as seen earlier on the cart to make the wheels. there's no rubber all roughly on rims drove. and when did wheel him into the river cast for a while and it swelled and became strong.something like this
Hey, glue is not necessary, the wheel with interference fleeced and the faceplate is tightened with the hub. Due to this, it is slightly elastic during impact and returns to the place in contrast to the steel disk. I don't know about cutters, my blanks on the spokes was after drying. But as I quickly gathered, it is further held (подсушил0 a month on the stove.
And the glue between the spokes it is necessary to smear?
For furniture, the oak mill dry month, with temperatures of 45-50 degrees.
Try to find someone who is harsh on wood and show a sample(the one that was originally). Will certainly tell more processed wood and some varnish coated. Over the hill sell a lot of things, but most of what you need and usually remakes.
Hi, operate a lot like a modern car, still will not, under the snow the winter the car will not be the same, can be soaked in urea and not have... These wheels are portable, they can always move to a new needle, if desired. I was lucky to buy BEE 4 wheel in native wood and in good condition, earlier design with a removable rim. spokes you can buy from the States novodel, the price is a little bite 13.75 dollar apiece and 4 wheel 56 piece (without delivery)
If was the native sample, it was lucky...then picked up right. There was a not a big secret, it could be soaked in grape wine or urea.
Hi . native (original) the spokes were of oak, and dilapidated the spokes on the cut inside absolutely not ruined the tree, not even change their color. Of course, then had a better idea of what wood to do it, one oak many varieties, plus aging, proper drying and impregnation. With the aspen I have not tried although the question does not matter...
Oak is not as strong as Aspen, it was used after soaking and drying.

Hi, thank you. I'm not an expert on wooden wheels, I had to cope, and to cope with the task, during the restoration of my Ford, in the absence of specialists in this matter. The result I am satisfied for today Ford ran these wheels for about 1,400 km.

Hi, I'm Ali Express bought, but that was long ago. there's still rings of all sorts on the topic arlievsky not a bad choice. But I think the link is not preserved.
Hi, I already wrote about it here. There are many sites you are interested in the question, where can I get the full answer to your question and to make friends. Very strange that you're looking for the answer on these car sites like Drive RU. On my page there is no answer to this question. Here discussing equipment, methods of repair and restoration. If there are suggestions to broaden the topics discussed on the floor. the website do it on the page, or go to the moderator...
Hi, have pictures, have a look in my blog. Here's a little video (with 15той minutes)
Ochechule, wooden wheels! Because in the modern world could be done, for example, from a polymer wood: cheaper, easier, much stronger (it is possible to make reinforced monolith), but was recreated according to the original methodology. And what rubber? Natural rubber?
Hi, if I improvised and made a modern car it is possible to use modern polymers. And then the problem was, — to get as close to the original. Although I found the vidio, how to produce wooden wheels and spokes on modern imaging equipment, to vintage cars. But because of the 4 wheels to buy a lot of equipment did not, were treated to the lathe. About durability ... I can say that flew at speed into an open and water-filled roof (which was not visible ). Wheel survived, I think is not a bad record. Rubber ?, — the tires are doing and it's not a big problem. Bought the most expensive, maybe if you search more you can find and rubber...
When you know that the machine the beginning of the last century you can buy spare parts)))
