Got the 1828 engine up into the rolling work stand. Next step will be getting the valves back in and lapped into place for a good air seal

You're a man of many carts!! Good going!! Thanks for the update!
Thanks As a part converting this one over to Model T engine I will need to raise it up a bit so easier to use hand crank!!
Hope they drained the coolant when they put that truck aside decades ago. Low mileage or not...
@@Fminus104 I hope so!!
Weve come a long way baby
I like 👍, please share the progress.
Will be fun to open that engine up Likely has had very few hours use over the decade
Wouw, what a find. Would be nice to see some progress on the upcoming restoration of the fire truck also. Also cold ( -6 Celsius) here in the Ardennes.
Stay warm!
31 degrees and a partly sunny skies here, Amherst NY
@@tomwilkinson2184 Hardly any snow here so far
Minus 7° Celsius now. Feels like minus 10. Brrr 🥶. Imagine these US soldiers here in these totally dark forests during the Battle of the Bulge. In our village magazine from this year was a text by a whiteness (1979) how he saw the Germans attack here. And the aftermath. Luckily we live now ( thanks to the allies) in peace. As well as in Belgium and in the Netherlands, we celebrate our liberation every year. With restored allied vehicles and veterans.
Dan are you sure that carburetor is a Marvel? It looks more like a Tillotson to me. Marvel’s have no name on them only a patent number. Tillotson’s model X have the name on the back side.
@@73technite I am a complete dummy about A carbs. Whatever it is, it sure is working good now after I tinkered with it. 😎
You are one tough guy ….working through cold cold weather… even if in indoor mildly heated garage… shows viewers your fortitude to this hobby… ‘inspiration’ is the word that ussually comes to my mind watching your yTubes .
@@rd5081 thanks for the kind words Sir!
The crank handle you have looks to be a Model A handle, I don't think you can fit it on the T oil pan easily, the T's crank handle has the rachet pinned on it, similar to the pulley nut on the A. Can't wait to see those T's run.
@@jameslockard4827 thanks!
Nice job! What kind of spark plugs do you use! I have some old Champion #4 plugs in mine. They seem to be on the short side. Thinking about getting some new ones. Thanks again!
these are Forn 8N tractor plugs it is what the local parts store happened to have on hand I like the look of them standing up so tall!
Thanks, I will have to keep an eye out for some. My engine runs very well with the C4's but the connectors just reach.
Great video! The engine sounds great! I laughed at the exhaust flames. Kids these days... HAHAHA!
@@farmallpaul4518 thanks! Tell me about your Farmall. We used an M on our farm
@@grandpadansfixit2080 I learned to drive on a M 50+ years ago! We had a couple H's after that. Now I currently have an H, along with a couple other tractors. Thanks!
@@farmallpaul4518 fun! Where are you located?
@@grandpadansfixit2080 Kansas!
@ nice I hope you didn’t get too much ice in the storm
Great Sounding engine! Nice light show!
@@bigfastcustoms thanks Was fun !
What a sweet sounding engine! 👍👍
@@edselsadventures thanks! Still getting it dialed in Got muffler on it tonight and will get coolant in it tomorrow Then will be able to run it a lot more
Seems pretty nice grandpa dan!
@@jonprain412 thanks!
BREATHING FIRE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@kielbasi fun stuff!!
That's awesome. She'll running great. We're 7° here. Best wishes
@@deanjernstrom3760 thanks Always fun even if chilly!
Love the fireworks 🎆
A little silly is always fun!
That sounds awesome!!!
Thanks More to come
I didn't know Mavel-Schebler made a style of Model A carburetor, but Ford 9N,2N and 8N tractors all had Marvelous-dribblers. Alot of Lycoming carbureted reciprocating aircraft engines had them as well.
@@jameslockard4827 thanks
Be careful cleaning the reflector inserts the silver is vary thin, my father would soot with tourch set up to polish the reflector, has anyone else herd of this method?
@@genetempler5632 thanks
It’s definitely a 30/31 stainless steel buckets . All the best from sunny Australia 38 deg c .
@@russellboyle1368 thanks! Cheers !
Stay warm and heal up buddy👍
@@kielbasi thanks Am making slow progress
I have a spare already. But thank you !
Looks like my 31.
@@lindco82 thanks Sir! Any interest in an extra one for your 31? I have no need for it. Took it in trade for some A engine stuff So will be selling it for reasonable $
Cold here also N.H. today was 19. What state are you in..? I just r&r my head and cleaned everything and reset the head with a new gasket.
@@deanjernstrom3760 I am in SE Minnesota But this is the Banana Belt compared to North Central North Dakota where we moved from to here in 1987. Sounds like you had some fun fixing up your A engine!
@grandpadansfixit2080 Learning as I go..Rebuilt the 7 tooth last year. Early December I pulled the pan cause it was leaking in a few spots.. All seams good now. Then I pulled the front fenders and stripped and put 4 coats of primer. .
@@deanjernstrom3760 fun stuff!
Two bulb so the car it came off wouldn’t have had cowl lights ( I’m thinking) comments?
@@genetempler5632 thanks
That’s correct no cowl lights.
It's a 30/ 31 Model A 2 light buckets.
@@RobertMartin-x5j thank you Sir!!
Oops. Missing word. It should say the buckets were plain steel...
@@jimwiederhoeft4447 I make lots of Ooops!!!
No question. Model A. Correct for '30 or '31 cars. Not correct for trucks and other commercial vehicles. The trucks and commercial vehicles used the same bar in '30 and '31 but the were plain steel painted black rather than the stainless.
@@jimwiederhoeft4447 thank you Sir!!
It's just like my '31
@@ronmcguire2951 Thanks! Much appreciated!!
I have a 31 I’ll compare tomorrow
Thanks!
Looks like 30 31
Thanks for your help!!
Glad to hear your doing well Happy New year
Thanks! Happy New Year!
I found two studs leaked water. Is that normal?
@@stevefarley7014 not normal but but not unusual either I have seen it before a few times What worked for me was to take the leaking studs out and put thread sealant on the std threads and then put the studs back in
wonderful engine
@@spg3331 thanks Got the head ready to put on tomorrow
Merry Christmas Dan! Glad to see you are getting back to it. Stay Healthy!
@@bigfastcustoms thanks!
Nice job!! Glad to hear you're feeling better!! Looks like fun!
@@MarkHenion-pd9qs thanks! Always fun, but sometimes more than others …….
Santa deniers are getting Detroit coal for this happy Christmas
Can’t wait looking forward to it!
Mary Christmas!
@@lindco82 thanks!
I still would like to see and here more about this T !
@@lindco82 I am working on on a timeline video from when we picked up the various parts and pieces and when I got it running Hope to have it ready soon
Merry Christmas. Interested in what you will make with the Cherry.
@@lifeonthehill7033 I think the first thing I will make is a triangle shaped display case for the US flag that so nicely folded by the Army team that gave the full military honors even with 21 gun salute for my dad when he died about a year ago ❤️
@@grandpadansfixit2080 sounds like a wonderful project, sorry for the loss of your Dad.
@@lifeonthehill7033 he had a great run!! Miss him a lot
Merry Christmas there Dan! Happy New Year you as well!
@@rnwagner thanks!
Did you get all the presents delivered yesterday?????
@@rd5081 yes!! The hard part was teaching the elves how to use the hand crank to start the T. They are kinda short so one would have to stand on top of the shoulders of another
Merry Christmas Mr Dan. Thank you for the videos
Thanks Will keep at it until it isn’t fun anymore!!
Merry Christmas Dan. Thanks for all the videos.
Thanks! More fun to come!!
Is this the new way you'll deliver presents?
@@CarPitStop ho ho ho !!
