    I love your photographic approach and background music. And the commentary as you explain what you are doing is also enjoyable. As a model T owner I do wonder why you didn’t clean, check and regrind the valves while you had the cylinder head off. This was almost a yearly routine for many T owners in the old days and a good thing to do if you are working on a car you haven’t driven much yourselves.

    I like that he is a younger guy. Wish I could show him how to push the high gear lever forward and “half pedal” the clutch as soon as he starts the engine. That way all he needs to do is just push the clutch pedal in all the way for low gear .. or release it for high. Then you half pedal again when you break since this releases the clutch. I drive my 1923 runabout nearly every day and live in a city. Despite what he says it’s wonderful car that was very very popular. It was the highest production car in the world until the VW bug. Very easy to drive and no crunching of gears like standard shift transmissions.

    Ford didn't make it comfortable to get in from the driver side, because you are meant to get in from the passenger side and slide across. It's also the reason there's a lock on the passenger 's side door but not on the driver's side. Fantastic video, btw. Very enjoyable.

    a real sport to drive a T, first times its hard, specially if the car has been stalled for a long time, a T is made to be used, then, every one of those cars has been at least once against a tree or so, some repairs where often not to well done, no wonder, living out in the woods, on a dirt road, it does not matter if the wheels are lined out or not, for us, driving it for fun it sure matters, a car where you can churn butter while driving is soon not much fun to drive, we think : well, that is typical for an 100 y/o car, but its not, i bought a 1914 touring, did check the motor and bearings, all in great shape, i can see that the people back then put their scares money in those things first, going to the grocery store etc. who cares if the thing rattles and shakes a bit, what counts that i make it home again, we are now in it for fun, and a T can drive great, i was lucky to find an expert, now the car drives without the least vibration, sounds like a purring kitten, steers like a bicycle, i drove a 1924 touring long ago, now i drive a 1914 i think the 14 is the better one, it has more power ? it feels like sitting at home on the couch, playing a video game, once all is set i have nothing to do but pet the dogs and talk up a storm with my passengers, the dutch roads are fantastic, notice it since the T has no steering stabilizers, not a car to just drive out of a car lot and go into heavy traffic, o boy, did drive to an intersection and forgot the funny clutch, step on that one and jump, yes, almost flattened 2 bicyclists and stalled it out in the middle of that intersection...now nervous...o boy, must go out and crank it,...o dear lord make it start....people staring from their cars....in unbelieve...why is that guy stepping out while his car is in our way and in the middle off.....??? they saw me bending over in front and....some roaring laughter...then...me walking to the left door, what is not there,...what a clown...finally...the museum peace leaves the intersection, ...most people where still smiling....yes, standard transmission...first clutch, then brake NOT the T ...after almost creating an extra door in my barn i NEVER ever forget it anymore ! starting by crank, a thing to learn too, better use left hand, still sore wrist, yes it can kick, had a hard time starting with left, but when it is winter a backfire is bound to happen....so 3 days ago....now i have no chose but use my left, but yes, can now drive this car through Amsterdam if i wish too, and will keep up with traffic, no, forget the freeway,

  • @thatrecord5313
    @thatrecord5313 3 года назад

    The reason this car in particular has such a hard time in second gear is because of the body style and year. The model t had 20 horsepower, if barely. And the sedan body style was the heaviest body style, so naturally the T would have issues. But by 1926-1927, the wood frame was gone and Ford started making the car with all metal, which made it even heavier. The little 4-cylinder engine would of course have issues.

    • @nicokamper4434
      @nicokamper4434 3 года назад

      another thing is, the gas tank went from under the seat to the front, leaving a lot less room for the driver, i did try to fit in one but on 6ft3 and ca 260 lbs ? the steering wheel did rub my belly, my knees the dashboard, ended up buying a 1914, that one has lots of room, an open touring, for braking you can use the low gear as well, not engage it but just shortly a light foot pressure , the car will brake a lot better that way, this gives me the security to drive through heavy seaside tourist traffic, netherlands here, the T steers easy, is agile, top is 75 km/h and it does seem to go for that easy, but i prefer 60 km/h the lady is 106 y/o, i took it off road, she did amaze me, i did a lot off road driving, but the T is odd, they desingned it so the frame moves with the terrain ? will not drive it on the freeway but other then that, will drive it anywhere, the bush or the city, prefer to drive without shoes, pedals are rather close together, ok, the dutch wooden shoes, step in them when i step out, keeps the floor clean as well, love that old car, its a sport to learn how to drive , start and light the carbide lights, its much more comfortable then you think,

    The transmission is an automatic which now nobody drives a stick. The ignition is just like the modern cars. Try that distance in a horse and wagon, took longer to set the team up and set them back in the barn and if it was raining another few hours drying and caring for the horses before the driver was able to get in.
