Thanks buddy another great video

I always enjoy Mitch's videos very informative and easy to follow thankyou buddy kind regards David

I would drill the tip of the starting crank and put an USB socket there :D Maybe even it would be possible to place there some small battery, to the connected device would react :D

But USB is 5v. Your phone and satnav might just run fine from that. Though I admit some items these days do require a 12v source despite being USB.

So I've been told that since I have the removable ears that I can replace the bands without removing the hogs head, do you know of a video that shows this well? I have read about it in the manual and it seems strait forward but watching a video would be helpful. Also, I was told that when you remove the hogs head, you affect the rear bearing of the transmission and can cause damage?

Here in the US at least in PA the driving manual briefly mentions hand signals. However I find with my model t when I use them no one understands and they think I'm waving them on for politeness so I just send it now. I do at least have brake lights though.

Are there many small problems with regular using such a car? I mean these small and annoying things like some leak here, some leak there, something does not work, some screws get loose, something is noisy today, but the other day is not, etc.

Thank You Mitch. I have a 1930 Ford Model A here in Florida, USA.. But I love the Model T very much. The rules for automobile registration do indeed vary state by state. Antique cars are "grandfathered" in as compliant. For example, if the car was built before seatbelts were installed by manufacturer, you do not need to have them. In California, cars over 25 years old do not need to pass emissions tests. Florida has no inspections. - Chuck in Florida.

Enjoyed the Q&A! Fun. Cheers

I'd love to see a video on how to roll start a Model T. You never know when the battery will be more or less dead and hand cranking it unsafe due to the car cutting out in or near a blind corner as well as on or near a hill or in bad weather. NEVER hand start a Model T when you can't see if someone's driving in your direction on the wrong side of the road, or when there's inclement weather.

Very interesting to hear your answers - keep on going for that on part 2!! My question would be: is the Model A the better car for driving in traffic, or would you still keep the T because of its easier repairing? Just for your information: Here, in Germany, historic cars need turn-signal-system.

Mitch, thanks so much. I got my 1926 Model T Tudor a couple of months ago trading down from a 1927 Model T (dum, de, dum dum) street rod. I know, for shame. But my T now is purely stock and I have learned so much from your videos. I got lucky and my 'new' T is in excellent condition, licensed, insured and I'm driving it. It does need some maintenance that I am giving it for it has been sitting for years. Love my T.

Thanks, Mitch! Great Q & A! In the U.S. it is absolutely legal to drive a registered model t on the road. In fact, it’s easier and cheaper to do than a modern car if you do it right!

Here in the UK, historic vehicles over 40 years old no longer require an annual safety inspection. The owner is also exempt from the annual licence fee.

Enjoyable video. Model T's and other cars were adequate for their day in braking, steering, and acceleration but today we realize that and drive them with care and planning. We know the capabilities of old cars and drive them accordingly. I agree with you, I like the cars as they came off the assembly line, no modifications. It's the only way you can experience what the car was like to drive at that time. Although our roads are much better than they were then. And more of them. Looking forward to your next video.

I drove a friend's '24' a couple weeks ago. I've ridden in a few T's so I understood how they work. Getting my feet to connect to my brain was a bit of a challenge!

Hey! What happened to your home theater system tour? And the tmax intros? I loved watching them,and I wanna see them again, what's happening?

My 1939 John Deere B was started by turning the flywheel, it was called a watch winder tractor, as the flywheel reminded people of the watch stem cap. Otherwise, it was similar to the Ford Model T. I now have a 50s John Deere B with electric start, but I need to restore it first.

Any chance we can see how to change the tyre (or tire) on the off chance you get a flat?

Good one! My 1920 Canadian-built T has the plastic box coils and I’m told that they are not as good as the wooden box originals. Mine function fine, but I’m on the lookout for some wooden ones.

Just had a crash course( no pun intended) in driving a model T. I know what I was supposed to do but making my brain connect to my feet in some situations was a little difficult!

How many days that took you to built that?

I had a 1960 Volkswagen type 1(beetle bug). Still had semaphore signals on B pillar, and a dipstick for the gas tank. One side showed how many liters was in it, and the other side showed how many KMs you got left.

The way I would grease , these bearings was to put a blob of grease on my palm and then put the bearing on one or two fingers and scrape the blob into the edge of the bearing to fill the inside , and that would also push out any dirty grease that may be in the bearing. Great video !

I believe those screws are brass, not copper.

18:07 It's ironic that we're now back to one coil per spark plug like this video.

thank you for interpreting the lube chart it looked kind of scary

Thanks for that😅😅

How about high gear? How do you get that engaged ? Thanks for the great video I really enjoyed it.

This is so underrated!!!!!!!

Lovely video as usual, Mitch! I have a Story: My ancestors owned a touring car in 1913. It was a T. One day, when they were starting on a hill, the car overturned due to poor driving parking brake failure. All the people but one were severely injured. The one who was not was killed. She was 2 years old, poor dear! Her mother was prostrate with grief. It is a very good example of the dangers of model T’s. I eventually plan to follow suit in getting my own, though I do not intend to have an accident!

⁠perfect sense, thanks so much. On the very modern cars now, many of them have an individual coil for each spark plug I believe. My old 64 Mercury has the single coil of course. Also, I guess it has two separate ignition systems, one for starting and one for running. When you turn the key back from the start to run (after it’s started) it switches to the system coming from the alternator. Something like that anyway. I never knew until I studied ignition systems a little. It’s an adaptation from the early Model T system it seems. Also now the individual coils are a throwback to the system on the T. Biggest difference of course is all the computer controls via sensor input. No thermostatic springs controlling the choke or a manual spark advance. Fascinating to see the technology advance and also borrowing from the past.

Today was a great day for me. I drove my 1926 Model T Two-door sedan for the first time. It sat for several years (5 or 6) never having the motor run. I got it about a month ago and spent most of my time on my car conducting maintenance and quite a bit of time on the wooden spoke wheels that I doubt were never treated and greasing bearings and such. What I said to myself was, "And now for something entirely different". Nothing could be closer to the truth. But no mishaps. Love my Liz.

I love country music, Mitch. 🤠 It's the best! Love the RAMbling Rides! Keep 'em coming!

You should never use a wire brush to clean around open pistons and valves. A small piece of wire could break loose in end up between the piston and cylinder wall and do damage.

Wow, I'm new to model T's but mine is very different, although just as complicated, because it is an X dirt track racer with a Ruckstell axel. Great fun!

Love your videos. Will be very helpful in tuning my 1919 T police car!!

Thanks for your tutorial. I've had my 1926 two-door for a short time. This model T has not been run for years. So I've spent my time maintaining it (oil and grease) and working on some cleaning and polishing. I will soon attempt to drive it and it looks like it will be interesting. Again, thanks for those of us trying to learn about the model T.

I have the 1925 Model T Touring which is the same car in the videos? Been in the family since it was new. Your videos are invaluable! Right on!

I have a rebuilt Model T with various modifications, and this still helped a bunch! I’d like to know a few things though: 1. What is the other thing near the choke on the inside? 2. What is the button on the steering wheel? 3. I’ve always had issues with my coils, do you have any tips?

or build one, but this is a toy, kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipycnaenl76Ne9E

Hiya Mitch! I also drive a RAM. 3500 Dually, with stick shift. Love the new Ramblings ; keep 'em coming.

Now its 3.5 million people

This is amazing ! Beautiful.... Brought me to tears!!!!

Next time show the dash every time you talk about starting it. Please

Where did you get your oil screen

Interesting how these work. Does the ignition system require a charged battery at all times or is there another system on the vehicle to generate the 6 volts needed by the primary circuit? Also, how is the ignition timing set, so it fires at the correct point in the compression stroke? Fascinating to see how the systems have evolved over the years. Thanks much!

Thanks for the video. Good job well done. Just a few points here. I am curious how the coil box operates, how it builds up the charge to fire the plugs and how the spark timing is accomplished or changed. Also, you might already know, the bolts with the square behind the head are called carriage bolts here. They are quite useful for tightening into a piece of wood from one side as the square prevents the head from turning once it gets a grip. I would also suggest a good set of Imperial socket wrenches to make your work easier. I have a 1964 Mercury and it's interesting to note the advances in technology in the 40 years between your car and mine. It makes me think how far we have come since that time too. After all, it has now been about 60 years since my Mercury was built and things have changes quite a lot. It's an open debate whether all the changes are worthwhile or not of course. Thanks always for your videos. Fascinating always. Have a good day mate, from Minnesota USA.

GREAT series Mitch! I have a 1915 T and about to run it in the 4th parade. Your vids are EXCELLENT! Thank you!

Dishwashing detergent are perfekt to clean up the porceline and if wife permits - a dishwasher is even better :-) But you should have exchanged the wood with plastic.
