Amazing how Henry thought out the T to work for everyone. Those old tools and the shop make your videos a joy to watch.
No pesky brakes to contend with, haha! Lovely repair there, gents. Nice old T for sure... thanks for the tour yesterday!
A thoroughly dramatic and captivating presentation of Model T axle repair. Well done!
Came for the accents. Stayed for that cap.
Great video Guys, the older I get "65" the more I appreciate older, simple things. Old cars, tools and now older women. Cheers! from New York
What a pleasure to see these old tools doing what they were designed to do. Matt reminds me of the Oilzum man with that cap on!
Strong's Garage, Very complete repair sans fuss and bother with incredibly well designed tools! A winning combination! Those were the days...Thanks guys for another fine episode!
Model T drags with coldwarmotors and strongs garage
It is always nice to see the tools being used. Lovin' show guys.
So interesting watching you guys use those old tools, things were so much simpler back then. Cool video
Strong's T-Shirts? Oooooorrrrr.... Vintage Strong's coveralls? 🤔 I'd buy some merch
I'm so impressed by the elegant simplicity of these old tools ! They do what they are meant to do , just perfectly ,and keep on doing it for DECADES .
Let's see Matt and Jim make our day! Matt's hat is a good start! 😆
If your show wasn't amazing, informative, and downright amusing at least we are learning what some very odd looking tools are for and how invaluable they are. I've probably rummaged past billions of useful tools at flea markets and antique shops not knowing their purpose. This is golden knowledge you are giving us who can appreciate it. Thank you
I thought that Walker tool sounded familiar. Made in Racine WI my home town!
Because Ford made 15 million over a period of 19 years mechanically the same everybody and their brother made something for the T, From spare parts and accessories to specialty tools. It truly was the universal car. My dad grew up on a farm outside a small town in central Missouri and they had a factory that made replacement piston rings for the T and the company A.B. Chance is still in business today making other things.
Like the old tools. The jack is really sharp. The can of brake clean just looks out of place. You guys are always fun to watch.
Wow, it feels like I’m in the 1920s… lol
It is ALL about the tools you posses. Add the well-acquired knowledge and this channel is a winner! Love all of the interesting rides and stories from the region. Just a lot of fun!
I've never seen a jack lokr that before. You gentlemen have a treasuretrove of old tools. Those Model T Fords were amazing in their simplicity.
The sound quality is spot on don't change a thing thanks
Now that you've repaired the front you need to drag race against Scott's t
If I had one of those earlier cars that needed worked on a repair whatever the case may be I would want somebody that had all the specific tools and the knowledge that you guys have to do it and to do it right that’s awesome you guys keep up the good work
Interesting video - I had no idea that threaded inserts were used as a repair item on Model ZT's. Great savings of time and cost. Thanks!
Oooohh I may need to contact Stevens and order up one of those fine units!
Top job, gents. Cheers.
I'm an old tool that comes in handy at times too.Just not for working on model T's.Great video guys.
Great show definitely love the old tools thanks 😊
I had no idea that helicoils had been around that long. And the utter simplicity of that kingpin arrangement seems more like go kart technology. Nice vid!
What was so nice about those old car's is that absolutely ever job could be done by your average man. You didn't need to be a class A mechanic to have to change out a set of king pins. but in did make easier if you had the right tools that's for sure.
I love these videos, I have a lot of my Father's and Grandfather's old tools and it always brings them closer to me when I use them .
Well that looked easy enough and what a coool repair!
Looked like a lot of work.
I love the cars and your attitude.
The lisle/otc of it's day!
Wonderful to see, thank you.
Man. Simplest yet most interesting fix to an old runner I've ever seen ❤️
Again, you guys rock!
I'm surprised to learn there are so many fine threads, both left and right, on such a basic "farmer's friend" automobile. I had always thought the Model T was basic as a hammer and nails, haha. Thanks for setting the record straight. PS: Matt's big hat reminds me of a school play where I played mushroom #3.
Would love to see a wooden spoke repair job. I have a few rotten ones on a set from the '26 I'm working on and haven't found any videos showing the process. Love the shop, tools, cars and all, gents. Thanks for sharing.
Dear Strong's Garage Matt and Jim.
👍👌👏 Oh WOW, simply fantastic! Very well done again and as always (video and work). I nearly couldn't believe what I witnessed. It's pretty impressive and amazing how perfectly well those old but ingenious tools work and how fast something could be repaired (relatively inexpensive even). Especially the green jack is a great help. It lifts the car extremely fast and really easy.
2) Matt, thanks a lot for wearing a time period cap now. I already saw you wearing it in the last CWM video and I instantly thought that it looks really good. Although it seems a little bit big, it's looks soooo much better than those cheap, modern looking base caps. Jim: Hint hint... ! 😁 ;-) By the way: I guess it's the first time I see Jim not wearing a (time period correct) checkered shirt. No offense. Hope you will reach 10k subs soon. It would definitely be well deserved.
Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health to all of you.
Top job boys
You guys are gonna have to grow handlebar mustaches soon.
Hey fellas. That was very interesting and a fun watch. It's great to see the specifically designed tools being used by people that have built up the knowledge to use them. It's interesting to think how this simple yet intricate design morphed into the more familiar 30s style kingpin setup. I never knew Ts had threaded wheel bearings and Jim's explanation made perfect sense. Oh yeah, having brakes on the front as well. That was a big step forward. All the best, Mart in England.
Hi guys from the UK 🇬🇧 love your videos and that axle stand is brilliant keep em coming
Another T-riffic instalment of Strong’s Garage
Ding ding YEAH!
Another 😎 episode of "😎 Tools"!
I see you have the Ford Fast Moving Parts catalogue for 1929 to 1949 Ford vehicles, same as the one I've had for years. I remember looking through that book when I was a little kid too young to even read.
There's a job for every tool! Fancy the kingpin being more durable than the axle!
That was entertaining to watch. I love that jack. I did not know about the different thread directions from the left to the right side. My 51Pontiac has left hand threads on the wheel lugs on the driver's side and right thread on the passenger side.
A good 'all action' vid.
Thumbs up&thanks.
I only had a couple of Stevens tools during our 3 model T ownership but they certainly make work easier.
I will say the tools of the old day where made with perfection in mind. But not many know these days how or what they where used for. You should to a comparison video making the same job on a Old model A or T with proper old tools vs doing the same thing with modern and improper tools. It would make a interesting comparison. I remember the Ford T wheel caps that usually are very hard to put back or take off cause the thread is trashed somewhere. Also people used pipe wrenches and gods knows what to tighten them.
Pretty slick! Love the jack.
Great show guys love all that cool stuff in you awesome garage. Wish I lived near you. Probably good for you that I don't lol. You would want to chase me off with a stick, I would never leave. All the luck in the world to you too. Keep up with the great old rides you keep alive. Thank you
Thanks for sharing your toy's there cool always like to see what you have, always fascinating, thank you, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Very interesting video. The tools are awesome and so simple.
Thanks Straight Ahead ✌😎
Awesome! 😎
Great job guys.
Another great one guy's Strongs😊
Awesome use of old tools. It's easy to find the history of carpentry tools since they go back forever. I find myself wondering when did certain automotive tools become attainable to consumers. I'm talking about stuff
Like welders, grinders, drills, air tools, and anything else the body workers would've needed. Also lead in the body seems.
Nice one boys..love the videos..thx
Hey fellahs, what's in the mugs? 😁
Great job 👍🏻
great stuff!
Your tools are kool! I Like " The Claw" on a V8 Ford? also what kind of grinder did you guys use? Thanks for the Videos
Brendan
Hey Jim, Did I spy on CWM Latest episode a yellow Powell truck sitting outside by a couple of VW bugs?
Was that hook jack a Walker or a Weaver? The green paint makes me think Weaver.
Thanks, good video. Was your car equipped with grease seals?
I'd like to get a Stevens' catalogue but I'm having trouble posting my request letter to 1925. How do you guys do it?
Corduroy overalls?
Does Hobo Freight carry the Stevens Hub Cap Speedy tool?
What model number is that jack? I have to get one for my Model A.
Wear gloves. Petroleum products in contact with skin over time will cause many health problems down the road. We need smart mechanics like you guys fixing cars to a ripe old age.
Could you help m e find a flat cap like that. I will pay!!!!
Are you guys Canadian? Struggling with your sense of humor.
Wow!! No brakes of any kind!! Mechanical, hydraulic, or air. Quite familiar with Model A's but have absolutely no experience with T's. Interesting how everything is "top" threaded with another nut as a "lock" on the bottom. Love the simple, basic, so functional, tools!!! Along with the car, still work as new so many years later!! Kind of "interesting" how all this modern "technical" progress will be totally useless when 10 years old!! Makes a "thinking" person question which mindset is "smarter/better"?? "The current version" only becomes the "correct" answer when "profit and commerce" get added into the consideration!!
Thanks for the "History" lesson!!👍👍👍⚙🛠🔩🔨🔧⛏✌🍺
