Reassembling the Model T engine/transmission. Part 1.

[@romjone4801]

Thanks for showing the rebuild. It is so much easier to visualize in a Video than in a diagram. Great job!

[@IFTA23]

I wanna thank you for your videos. I have a 1923 Model T and learned alot from your videos and even for the mag box. I finally got it started after 9 yrs of sitting after someone else drove it and messed up the timing gear. I now have it after my mother said it was going to be inherited to me since im the mechanic in the family. I have a few videos of mine posted soon of it running. But thank you for showing us how to fix these old cars. Ive learned alot and the ford service manual is a must have.

Thank you very much, I try. That's pretty neat, have fun with it!

If welding up the clutch teeth works ----- Good Job -------- Seems like if we can fix something ourselves ---- there's a good feeling we have in doing the repair -------- Interesting in seeing the internal parts of a model T trans ----- A nice simple fix for the oiling system ------ so much simpler ------- Thank You for bringing us this video ------ It's Educational ---- Have a Good Week ---- Rodney

Thank you very much.

Back in the day, these Model Ts were regularly fixed by the farmer, or the town blacksmith. I never doubted you for a moment. I acquired my 1927, 7 years ago. I will perhaps start it by Spring (Or even Christmas)

Bellissimo video!!👏👏👏👏

[@BAGOTCORNER]

Excellent, thanks for the video ! Looking forward to seeing the adjustments you make to get it all sorted and drivable .

I got to visit the Ford foundry in Windsor, Ontario in 1977. Watched the men go through the process from creating the molds to casting etc... Gives you a whole new appreciation for engine parts and the precision to which they go together. Your content takes me back to when I was a child watching the old timers in my neighborhood trouble shooting their 1930's and 40's cars. My father spent his life assembling cars for Chrysler and so did all of my uncles. You sir have one of the best channels on KZbin! And I always eagerly look forward to your content. Thanks for taking us along through your builds. Never disappointed.

[@onewhocollects6781]

Thank you very much.

[@craigroberts3982]

quite the simple yet complicated car

[@ironcladranchandforge7292]

Excellent!! Looking forward to the final assembly and test drive. I'm sure it will work out fine.

[@mentalasylum3969]

I laughed so hard when you read the post about making the ring gear, you just flipped page, looked over and kept reading

[@davedeatherage4902]

Thank you, very informative description of your progress. I look forward to all your videos. Thanks again. 👌👍🌞

[@shedbythetracks]

Because I use a distributor, I use oil flippers and they seem to work very well so far. (they move a lot of oil) The only thing I did differently was I put a bolt and washer behind the triple gear pin to keep it from possibly walking out. As you know the magnets would normally stop that from happening. Just a little insurance. I always enjoy the videos. Cheers from the shed.

[@onewhocollects6781]

Thank you. Clever idea, I never thought about that.

[@Peter-jo3wt]

I was watching this video specifically to see how to bolt and unbolt the flywheel and transmission to the engine itself. I don't blame you for doing that off video, but somehow it would have been nice to have some foreknnowledge...😉🙃 My flywheel is missing four magnets (but is otherwise balanced) which I have acquired, and had planned to install. But you DID teach me that these magnets are essentially the oil pump, so perhaps I can just add oil to my already rebuilt engine (purchased that way), and stop postponing the inevitable Old start/Cold start. Purportedly, it was parked in 1932 after being used as a Doodlebug for 5 years on a farm in Ohio and has not run since, after they acquired a tractor.

[@onewhocollects6781]

It bolts to the crankshaft flange. the bolts go in from the front (opposite of most other cars).

[@gwolfe1231]

Always an interesting seminar.

[@OliverPickard]

Nice flip flops haha My Views give me grief for always wearing clogs in videos but they defiantly come in handy when you inevitably stand on something sharp

[@chuckotto7021]

God to see you back after a month hiatus

[@onewhocollects6781]

Thank you, It's been a rough couple of months, but I think things are back to normal now.

[@Bbbuddy]

It seems like any transmission you can assemble with a mallet and a big channel-lock plier will be pretty reliable.

[@cudaman-yq7pq]

If you do decide to buy a new brake drum down the road, get the 1925-only narrow drum that takes the '26-'27 separate lug shoes.

[@onewhocollects6781]

Yep, the later ones are a better design.

[@essentialjudge2279]

Those bolts are actually machine screws. The real size is #14/24 machine screw.

[@captnsquid8151]

It is always interesting on the though of mechanical engineering was back then, I many cases they works out well. I feel the fault was in using to much cast iron and not forged steel.

[@onewhocollects6781]

I think the reason for using cast iron was to keep the manufacturing cost down. But that's just my guess.

[@buztes]

The inner clutch basket that keys to main shaft not supposed tobe wire tied its a long cotter key

[@StevenMonticelli-ex1tg]

I watched Gen 3 auto and your videos. Just wanted to see if any differences in a 1925 Model T trans set up im working on. I noticed you and Gen 3 had 3 spacer washers in the brake drum and mine has 2.

[@onewhocollects6781]

They typically have 3, but it's not uncommon to need more or less to get the gap just right.

[@StevenMonticelli-ex1tg]

​@@onewhocollects6781 thank you
