In an ideal world I would be your neighbor and would never leave you to yourself. During the Great Depression my then teen-aged father replaced spent crank bearings with perfectly shaped bits of leather. He said they lasted a very long time. Of course they weren't going very far back in those days. He would be a far more useful neighbor than I wouldn't he? Very nice video I must say.
2020 vehicles are already in for motor swaps because they run horribly bad and basically destroy themselves. old cars are soooooo much better than newer
@@IamBagelOfficial There's actually been studies done on this, and apparently there's some truth to it. Cars built during the Depression in particular, were built to last because people could only afford to buy once. It's why EVERYTHING was sturdier & better back then. This degree of engineering carried over into the 1950s vehicles, and most 1960s/70s. Farm equipment was even more durable. My grandfather used a 1950s Ford tractor on his farm all the way into the early 2000s, and even then it still ran fine - he just wanted a bigger one (he kept the old one BTW for small chores around the barn). The old tractor was sold after he died, but as far as I know, it's still running and being used today. By the 1980s, the economy was booming again so manufacturers could relax on durability (though any 80s or 90s vehicle is still far more reliable than any modern one...particularly Toyota pickups).
@@sixstanger00 which proves my point even farther.. considering were heading into another possible great depression, cars are built with no intention for durability. i work with cars and car parts daily i work for an automotive company and NONE of the parts are built for durability.. sad
That was beyond amazing . Wonderful to see a young guy so interested and knowledgeable about old cars . Respect from an old car lover in the uk . Well done 👍👍
Well done! My father was a Model A guru and I can see you know your stuff. He bought a deluxe coupe in 1964 and took every nut and bolt apart on it. I can remember seeing the engine all laid out on an old bedspread and the body up on barrels. He had a coat hanger coming through the radiator for the choke when he had to crank it. I enjoyed this video because unlike others who put 12 volts to them and leave them shuddering to death in the retarded position while they "warm up", you grabbed that lever and smoothed her right out immediately just like I was taught. My dad would drop that lever when he was showing her off and it would idle right down so slow, ticky- ticky, ticky-ticky, then put the lever back up to smooth her out. Would like to see more Model A content in the future, keep up the great work! And BTW, my cat loves to watch me work also, she's not even afraid of a skillsaw running!
The engine Looked So immaculate, it just had to start right up and tool on around those beautiful grounds and well maintained out buildings!. Beautiful lawns too!
I applaud you for being so knowledgeable on these vehicles. Your so young!!! I'm in my 50's and prefer the 60's era. I would be lost on these early models. Very well done young man.
Absolutely wonderful - well done! There's something very moving about seeing such an old gal come back to life, after so much time. Tough little engines; she only smoked for a few seconds after the initial fire up; much newer barn finds smoke for far longer. I was a bit nervous for you, when I saw your thumb around the starting handle though :)
WONDERFUL. It brings back memories from the 1950s of my 4-door 1932 Ford Model B, basically the same car. (It had the 4 cylinder engine rather than the legendary V-8, and the gas tank was no longer in the driver's lap.).
Yes, that's from Germany after 1960, the rear lights with red indicators were there until 1970. It's a left rear light for the VW Beetle. The second is the right rear light. Oh she walks! Great👍, I wish you a lot of fun with it. Greetings from Schweinfurt Germany.

Very well done! And, in such a picturesque setting. I found a few of your frames were just spectacular and I froze them. Couldn’t be better. (new subscriber.)
"It has less rust than some Fords from the 2000's." YES - Since 1968 the steel is very often crap... Even in clocks and watches... 1970's were the worst whatever carmaker, even Mercedes /8 rusted even with perfect paint as the metal-alliance were too cheap...
As the owner of a 2010 F-150 I can confirm. Cab corners and sills needed to be replaced five years ago to pass state inspection. Now I need to fix the rear wheel arches. They can be rusty, but sharp edges are grounds for failure. I guess they don't want kids cutting their fingers or something.
How cool is that..? My Grandfather (born 1902) told me sometimes the car would backfire on cranking and he knew several people who had their arms broke. Going on 100 years old, and got it running....nice job.
That was amazing. I couldn’t believe how easy it started when you cranked it I guess maybe a starter takes a lot of fo voltage away from the plugs and that is the reason why they don’t start this fast. Great job good camera work keep the good work out bud thank you.
In that condition, it is a truly beautiful machine. I think that could be submitted as a piece of artwork to a gallery, it’s in that perfect form. The natural (aka outdoor) ageing has really added to this beauty’s character!
This video was epic! Definitely enjoyed it. Nice to see a young man have a passion for these old cars. You live beautiful over there. Greetings from The Netherlands.
Being stored and under good protection all these years really saved her, so many of these were left outdoors and in farmer's fields they literally disappeared into the earth
That was a very interesting watch! I know nothing about those old cars and before I saw your face and the way you were talking, I just assumed you were an old timer mechanic on old cars. But when I saw how young you are, that really blew me away, for how well you know those old cars! Cats like that are also awesome! How can anyone not love a loyal cat lol
Cool to see you get it up and running, seems to run pretty well amd on camera the wood looks to be in great shape, my town sedan is a distant cousin to yours, mines and Australian assembled 30, they were knock down kits from Canada, i always found when starting mine with the crank handle that winding the engine over for two rotations with the ignition off, fuel and choke on to prime it, then it usually only takes a 1/4 turn to fire up with the ignition on
man watching you work on this thing I feel like this was filmed in the 20s lol! and the sound you made when you pulled that rusty distributor out lol, Gold.
I was trying to get a 1954 Chev 261 started, the booster cables were dropping way too much voltage, it wouldn’t even spin. I put on proper battery cables and a new battery, and it cranked over really nice and fired up on most of its cylinders.
At first, I thought "Oh My", but close up, it doesn't actually look that bad! The previous owner seems to have started work on it - a little primer here, some paint there (he even started on the woodwork!), so it might actually be solid underneath! 14:33 looks like just the seal blew apart - they have springs around the lip to help press it against the sealing surface.
It definitely could be worse! The biggest cobble job is on the rear fenders, they are both different sizes with lots of weld patches and were welded to the body. There are a bunch of cases of bondo being used where welting should be. Lots to work with anyway!
Disfrute mucho de este video. Es un exelente video. Todo lo que tiene historia me gusta. Y este Ford 1929. Si hablara contaria miles de historias. Saludo cordial
A series wound DC motor will always spin the same direction regardless of the polarity. Edit: If you want it to spin in the other direction, you have to reverse the connections to the brushes or rotate the brush assembly. Nice car, tractor and, of course, cat!
I always recommend pulling the spark plugs and adding ATF to each cylinder and letting the starter blow the oil back out. Lubricates and helps stuck rings. You can also use 2 stroke oil in the gas to fog the cylinders and just adds a little protection until you are running and have oil pressure.
Besides Throwing stuff on top of a rather good and original condition Service and manual book that could tell you stories of old times This was a good video
Love the period music. Sounds like ragtime. Definitely a ptoject car. I like the old coach style body. Shame there are so many holes to patch. Amazing what is found in a car that has been sitting 40 years. Good luck with your project car.
That ford sounds awesome, smooth, Car for the average Person to drive, repair as needed. love the look, if u do anything nice flat /semi-gloss black make look just right.
Dam cool there slim! Workin on a 30 chevy coach needs a bunch of wood replacing but we got it! Nery thought there would be that much wood in it using old wood as a pattern where I can. Good thing I have stock making skills on my side😊

I knew someone who, during the war, replaced an American V8 piston with a non-firing wooden one. (in England) this helped keep the engine balanced.
I love to hear them come back to life!! Looks like the crank pulley has quite a wobble to it. Nice job!!!!
94 years old and it still runs.
Runs better than my bus to go to school lol 😂😂

I enjoyed watching you get the old girl running again. I was surprised how well she idled and the lack of smoke. Great job!
We deserve to have things that are built to last a lifetime.
nowadays we can't ;( now once they are manufactured they are printed an expiration date
It’s lasted more than a lifetime.
It’ll probably last at least an other 100 years
