In the 1970's, my uncle (my mother's cousin's husband) was restoring a Model T Ford and needed some internal engine parts. During the Second World War, my father and his brother had built farm equipment from old cars, and he told my uncle about a Model T that he and his brother had dismantled. They had put the engine in a small field beside the farmhouse where they put all of their spare parts; Dad didn't think that they had ever reused that engine. A quick phone call to his brother confirmed that he had never touched it either and that it should still be there. That weekend, my father and my uncle (and a whole passel of kids) drove out to the family farm; after the obligatory cup of coffee in the kitchen, we all followed my Dad and his brother out to the side field, where they stood and though about where they had left the engine. They finally agreed on a location and headed over (after warning all the kids to be careful!) to look for the engine; it was exactly where they thought it should be. The adults loaded the engine onto my uncle's trailer and we all headed for home (after another cup of coffee for the adults.) The outside of the engine was quite rusted but the interior parts were all in good shape, and my uncle was able to use them in rebuilding his Model T engine. With any luck, the Tank Museum should be able to get some good parts from the insides of these tanks as well as from the outside.
