Recharging magnets/ Seal problems. Model T engine overhaul.

[@DuaneHinkle]

Thank you for demonstrating the Model T magneto recharge. That was very interesting and now I see why so many Model Ts have added generators under the hood. Great video!

[@venussavage]

Recharging magnets with five car batteries in series?! Wow, that was great. Thank you as always.

[@madman-pv9qd]

Amazing, the time and dedication it takes to get one of those cars right. I'll think twice next time I see one on the road. I've always been an (A) guy, obviously very ignorant to the challenges of a real antique car. Pass me another donut please

[@DavidHorsnall]

Another really good episode. Really like the way this series is going and the information you’re giving out.

[@juluisceaser3791]

I'm thinking of purchasing a 1915 T of an old fella in Tasmania. I can rebuild a Morris Minor but I find the way these work very alien. I find your videos fascinating and easy to watch. You may even convince me to go through with it. Cheers!

[@onewhocollects6781]

Sounds like fun. Yeah, it takes a while to get use to how unconventional everything is, but after that, they're as easy to keep running as anything else.

[@GesplatnaEntertainmentLLC]

Awesome! Great answer to an old question. Thank you.

[@shedbythetracks]

I'm a distributor guy but that was very interesting. You explained it in a way us mere mortals can understand. My guess as to the bigger air gap at the bottom of the mag is the pre-26-27 motors tended to droop a bit in the back. The 26-27 bolted hogs head fixed that problem. Cheers

[@onewhocollects6781]

That's what I figured. Since the back of the pan is the only thing that locates the rear axle, it probably bends around some while driving. Yep, 26-27 is a better design.

[@davedeatherage4902]

Very interesting, and intriguing sir. Thank you! 👍

Another excellent video! Learned quite a bit...

[@johndeereman2009]

Another great video. Looking forward to more.

Your nail on a string should align N-S to the earth's magnetic poles if the string is flexible enough. Like you say though it doesn't matter as long as you were consistent!

[@rogeriomaurofelicettimelen2859]

VERY INTERESTING...

[@ovalwingnut]

You R the "Model T Magneto Whisperer" p.s. Outstanding "audio"... Is it real or is it Memorx? Cheers from So.Ca.USA 3rd House On the Left.

Muy bueno!

[@BAGOTCORNER]

I have a very special request for you . Are you in the LA area? We have a connection in a recent interview i did on Flivver channel if you are possibly in the Dodger stadium area

[@LindaDeLine]

the new nylon timing gear changed to steel when you installed the timing gear cover Where you not happy with the fit ?

[@lavonaltenhofen2725]

15 million T's. 448,000,000 magnets. Where did Ford get them all???

[@lavonaltenhofen2725]

Or are they U shaped? Which only means they had to come up with 224 million of them.

[@lavonaltenhofen2725]

At 20:50, are those frost plugs you're driving in?

[@althepal6818]

Why is it so much work to shim the thing? Certainly was not that long at the factory.

[@onewhocollects6781]

It was probably easier when new because the engine parts were dimensionally more consistent (within a few thousandths) so each engine probably used about the same number of shims. It takes a long time today because we have to start from scratch with each engine.

[@althepal6818]

There is a error in your testing. Initially you test the magnet with the iron piston on the horizontal and after by pulling vertically . Pulling is much easier as there is no lever effect.
