Wheels - All high wheels were equipped with solid rubber tires. All low wheels were equipped with pneumatic rubber tires (Roadsters and Touring Cars only). The high wheels from 1907 to 1909 were 40 inches and 44 inches, front and rear respectively, and in 1910 and later, 30 and 42 inches in diameter (front & rear). In 1915 the Model E had the same size (36 inch) wheels all around.

Engines - All early Auto Buggy and Auto Wagon engines were made by International Harvester Company. These were the two-cylinder, horizontally-opposed type, both air and water cooled. The Models F, G, and K Roadsters built in 1910-11 were equipped with an IH four-cylinder, air-cooled engine. The Model J-30 Touring Car, produced in 1910-11, was equipped with a British-American four-cylinder, water cooled engine.

Things to consider when cleaning your 'Binder
1. Mud packs up inside the rocker panels(2) and floor supports (under front seats, rear deck, rear sill) and
cannot escape without a serious soaking. Most of these are c-channel types that love to hold stuff in.
2. Leaves and debris collect on the windshield cowl and fall inside and ultimately rest between the door pillar and bottom of the
inside front fender. Thus, rust occurs after this build up is kept wet. Use a shop vac with a long hose to suck the old leaves, etc. out.
Afterwards cut a 4"x4" (approx) piece of fiberglass screen for each side and caulk it over the hole on each side.
3. Check and if necessary, drain any fluids that may be contaminated with muddy water. Check ATF (or gear oil for Manuals),
transfer case & differentials. Also inspect your locking hubs for water, clean and repack if necessary.
