There are 2 winding's in the cut out. One is for back current and you did not ex plane it. If you don't know electronics please don't put out misinformation.

What I don't understand is the need to hold a pedal to be in neutral. Didn't a lot of these T's need to be started with a hand crank from the front of the vehicle? Wouldn't that be a Darwinist move when the transmission is always in gear?

Did you say “Curry Flyer”?

Do like those brakes… I kept 6v in mine. I converted it to starter and works fantastic with starter, although most of the time I get free starts even from cold. I will be fitting a small inverter under the dash to convert 6 to 12v for a usb port and also 12v headlight bulbs and brake light.

Really enjoyed your video. Please post the wiring diagram for your buzz box Ammeter. I want to build one also. You have posted a few pictures but not a schematic of the wiring of an ammeter. Thank you.

Muy bueno!

Hopefully you and Vince could do another video on the Snowmobile racing his family was into. Who was the mechanic, who rode, etc. I recall reading/hearing about their great success in the local media but had forgotten the family name. I believe they competed against factory backed racers but not certain of the whole story---whether they had any backing? It would be an interesting story/video.

Snubbers was a name for some early shocks.

The cylindrical cardboard covered dry cell telephone batteries were typically used to fire the ignition on Model T’s when hand cranking a car with no starter. Once it was running, it could be switched to magneto. They were also used as a sole ignition power source on the earlier cars (like the N, R, S Models).

😊 thank you for the video!

What did the other tourers think of your side curtains? Sure kept you dry!

Interesting, my Uncle (now deceased) used to help another man run the sawmill at the Manitoba Thresherman's Reunion many years ago. I think they had a steam engine powering it. Also believe the other man owned the sawmill at the time.

Great video, and a great job with the curtains. I too experienced my first ever tour in late June 2024 in our 1915 Touring. It was the Wander around Walkerton Tour sponsored by the Horseless Carriage Club of America, Southern Ontario Chapter, and day 1 was stinking hot and it poured days 2 and 3, including tornado warnings. My top is good but no side curtains but we had our rain gear with us so it wasn't as bad as it could have been. I should point out I am also new to this car and T ownership, having just got it in April. I did have the foresight to apply Rain-X to the windshield and it worked pretty good. Got another tour in the books for late August near Barrie Ontario at the Canadian Festival of Old Cars as well as showing our cars at the local museum. Also sponsored by HCCA-SO chapter and the Canadian Automotive Museum in Oshawa. Looking forward to it.

So the amateur tour “er” may have been the best prepared of all 😊

Makes perfect sense clear side curtains especially these days with heavy traffic. No loss of visibility which there is with the original curtains. Makes it much safer if you get caught in the rain which on most tours there is a bit of as I remember. Something most wives with a sewing machine could easily make. So simple even a man could do it. Anything is possible! Short video with a great idea. And that's all that's really necessary.

Muy bueno!

A few years ago I became interested in how the Model T transmission worked. No one at the car club knew. I could find very little on the internet about it, and what there was was not sufficient for me to figure out how it worked. Thank you for finally presenting this material in a clear and complete manner.

Great job with the side curtains. We wear rain slickers. We also have them when we ride the motorcycle. Bruce, Barb Deb and I did a 3 hour mini tour today .no breakdown.

Another pro video! You keep raising the bar.. Cheers

Great vid buddy ! Looking forward to the rest of the series

Great vid buddy ! Looking forward to the rest of the series

Thanks for sharing mate 😀 I've definitely got to put Canada on my bucket list! A nice collection of T's on that tour by the looks 😀

Thanks Steven! You summed up T touring very well! I've done 4 over the last 2 years and plan to do the Manitoulin one in August. Hope to see you there!

Muy bueno! Muy lindo paseo! Saludos desde Argentina

Awesome video, Steven! It was a fantastic tour and you did a great job introducing model T touring in the first video of the series.

What is the average or normal speed of the Model T

Hey Steven. Just watched vid. Great tour. Since you have camping rig you need to come to Ohio and tour with us.

Thanks for sharing. Very cool.

Yep you did the right thing. Enjoy driving the T . If you want film content get a navigator in the right seat to film. Lol

I've watched your various T/A wheel videos with interest. I do notice though, that they suggest wheels changed from 21" to 19" when the T became the A. No mention of the '28/'29 21" wheels. Especially odd given that those years account for the majority of Model A production.

Go man go! 🎉😂

Enjoyable video. Nice to see so many old motorcycles and most look like they are driven quite a bit not just for show. It looked like there were lots of parts for sale. There were a few old bikes around here years ago but I haven't seen them for a long time. I have a 1971 BMW R 75/5 I bought new. Nice video.

Had an occasion to apply too much pressure to get Needle valve seat out and stripped threads! Still can't get a repair for that. However I still learned that heat on both initial screw outs will make them come out easily!

This is fun! We need more of this. Once my 22 is back on the road, I want to try this. 😂

If I get a coil to rebuild I put a new capacitor in automatically....experience has taught me that for a couple bucks for the part it's a wise decision! I consider it a major part of the rebuild.

Good video. Thanks

Muy bueno! Y muy buena la camara con esa pantalla. Saludos desde Argentina

It's almost as daunting trying to describe what he invented to apply for the patent, as his invention in the first place! Henry Ford was a brilliant man. You did a fantastic job explaining how it worked, graphics included, as well.

How did I miss this!? Very nice. I will be in touch later this week.

The model T coil can "work" over a wide range of acceptability. That is why I get coils 100 years old that are still "working", but when tuned finely their owners tell me their car has never ran so good! It is not me, it's the ECCT that tunes them when I seek perfection from it!

The ECCT is even better with the computer data on the screen. You seem to dwell on the old "current" idea rather than "time to fire". Ask the guys at the Montana 500 what they do!

I feel that each ignition at each cylinder is an individual event so one coil advanced or retarded has very little effect. If one cylinder being 25% of overall power is less than optimal would only contribute slightly to any measurement.

Pure genius. Greetings from Detroit.

Isn’t a multi angle seat cut radiused instead of a straight 45, use 60 and 30 degree cuts prior to the 45. The result is a single line of contact around the whole valve.

Muy bueno!

Good show guys. Couldn’t watch live. Was on a barn find today. Great story. Those camping pix have over the years inspired me as to my current build of a T Wagon set for camping. Cheers.

Great story! I really enjoyed it.

Good vidio. Thanks

Thanks for a fantasticly detailed and thorough video! I'm having trouble with my coils, so this was very valuable
