The business of repairing Fords has come to be such an enormous one and open to such competition that the man who expects to make a success of it is forced to use the most up-to-the-minute methods, tools and machinery available for the purpose. This book is designed to give in a clear, concise and thorough way all the detail operations in repairing and overhauling the Ford mechanical units using the best and quickest methods and employing the tools and machinery that will save time and labour and insure jobs as nearly perfectas it is possible to get out. Service work on all makes of cars is slowly but surely turning toward factory production methods and this is more true of Ford service than of any other car. Repairmen are realizing that to "produce" service in quantity and at a low figure it is of vital importance to specialize and to use special tools and equipment. The "all around" mechanic is rapidly giving way to the "motor" man or the "rear assembly" man. When a man specializes on one job, he becomes more proficient, does the job quicker and also does it better. With the use of modern production methods and special tools, Ford service work is not only speeded up but is made better. The repairs are standardized and .the, mechanic is less liable to make a mistake than under the old "monkey method. In the preparation of this material the writer studied the methods used in the Ford factory and branches in the manufacture and assembly of the car in the first place and then observed the methods in general use in the largest and best-equipped Ford repair shops. These were then melted together, so to speak, and the result is given on the pages of this book. There is no mere theory about any of the methods used, as they are all in practical use in Ford service stations.
