Creaking wheels are creepy!
Does it have a starter? Will it run on the magneto?

Yup. First year for electric start (I think).
Runs great on battery and on magneto.
It's not just a creak, it's a rattle. I can move the felloe about 1/4" in and out, all the way around.
So just how do you rebuild a wood rim? Is there a school to learn this or just chuck up a piece of wood and start making spokes?
In reply to brad131a4 (Forum Supporter) :
Thankfully, you can buy almost anything for a Model T.
I can buy new hickory spokes for about $14 each.
The felloe (outer ring) is steel and so is the hub.
You unbolt the hub from the spokes, pull the spokes out of the felloe and fit new ones.
The old ones will probably just fall out but the new ones will be a very tight fit.
