You got to love cutaway! Sure CAD can be a great tool for visualizing things but it most certainly doesn't have the charm of a good cutaway! Thanks for sharing and take care!!!
Great explanations of what you were aiming to accomplish. I enjoyed this video way more than I thought I was going to. The trip to the museum in 54 must of been incredibly interesting for you and your brother.
I thought we already talked about loaning after your trailer tailgate never made it back home. Few thing are certain in this world but this one is if you loan something out it will come back late, broken or not at all. My favorite cutaway was the bicycle hub.
I LOVED that museum when I was a kid, and when there at least twice on family vacations. My father said that I was a "born button pusher". I also remember going to a similar museum in Munich when I was about four.
Remember visiting that museum in the mid 60's. What I remember impressing me the most was a series of clear containers with stell ball bearings entering through a small hole, bouncing off plates, through revolving parts and exiting through a quite tiny hole. Strictly mechanical do nothing machines, but I was fascinated by them.
If you ever get past 60, your back would sure appreciate standing upright to cut away the windows with the grinder outside. We could start a go-fund-me page if needed for you to acquire one. Kidding. I am looking forward to seeing the assembly work. I have always loved cut-aways.
Thank you Mr Pete. I was fretting over what a pian that was going to be to set up on the mill. Than I saw that angle plate and thought.... Mr Pete is a genius!
My dad had a 53 Plymouth Cranbrook 4 door (in red) when I was growing up that he bought the day before I was born. Spent most of my childhood restoring it and I helped him a lot in the shop. I learned how to drive in that car (in 2000) and it always had a special place in my heart. Unfortunately he ended up selling it in 2009 and I wasn’t in a financial state to buy it but I hope the new owners are taking good care of it.
You reminded me of trips to the Science Museum in London with my dad, where there were models you could operate and see the workings of steam engines. Fine cut away.
Mr Pete You are a great inspiration to me 👍I love the cut aways nothing does it better.👌 Just wanted to thank you for sharing your knowledge with everyone. Have a wonderful weekend 😊 Ken
I'm very much liking this-- you've inspired me to start work on an old truck differential and do the same. Maybe when I'm done I can put up a couple photos of it. Kids love to play with this stuff--immediately visual and tactile!
I was hoping for you to use your extensive machinist skills and use the mill to do all the cutouts. I enjoyed watching you mill cut the window for the reverse idler gear. The finished cut looks far better than the grinder cuts on the main case and tower. Thanks for another unique project!
One more thing about cast iron that is almost miraculous is that it wears well, particularly in sliding motion such as valve guides and cylinder bores.
My earliest years were lived a few blocks away from the Science Museum. Indeed I owe much of my mechanical interests to that museum and also the Adler Planetarium.
Very cool Mr. Pete! I have a couple old 3 speeds sitting around here - I think you’ve inspired me to try and make a cutaway! Like you, I have been and still am fascinated by them! I look forward to the next video.
Lyle, interesting series this will be. The wear on the lead edge of the gear you pointed out, would indicate that the drivers of this car were not very good at double de-clutching when changing gears.
I loved the museum of Science and Industry with it's many interactive displays, big Lionel train layout, the Apollo Mission Command Module, Coal Mine elevator, and even a Sub Marine. The Historical Society was wonderful too, but oh how I would love to travel back in time to the Columbian Exposition of the World's Fair.
Loved that cutaway. I got my first car, a 1929 black Ford sedan, in 1951. I was 18 and the car was already old enough to vote. These great videos bring back a lot of memories of that little car that I drove during my last year of high school. Part three should be just as interesting.
Rustoleum Hunt Club green should be much darker. I have used that color in a variety of spray formats and standard cans for brushing. Though the color has never been color consistent, it has always looked much like the sample photo on your can. Thank you for this very interesting series.

I hate to see a old complete transmission sacrificed, but the end result will be instructive. I once lost one tooth in the 2nd gear cluster of a 4 speed transmission and replaced that gear cluster with a salvage part. It worked but made a bit of noise. P.S. your legs look better than mine! I am 72.
Ans.The transmission is in first (low) gear. I think the appearance of the right side cut out should get the milling machine treatment too. Nothing better than a nice crisp edge. A couple of other things: many modern transmissions (and differentials as well) have an umber colored coating on the inside, even if there is no paint on the outside. I assume it is a surface treatment to address casting porosity issues, but I may be mistaken. Also, holes in the root of teeth, especially on countershafts run on a shaft, like this one does does not admit oil into the sooth area, but permit the meshing of the gears to "crush" the oil into the interior of the countershaft, thereby pressure lubricating the bearings.
I hope you had a good BBQ. It's looking really great. Reminds me of a model gearbox we had at school. They never did use it, it just sat in the glass cupboard year after year. One day a friend and I snuck into the classroom at lunchtime and got it out without permission. It was fascinating. We tried to make a replica out of lego later on.
In homage to the Museum of Science and Industry, I hope you will be painting the cut edges of the castings in a bright red. MSI has always been the highlight of my visits to Chicago, likely beginning as much as much as 65 years ago. I also had the chance to spend half a day at the Deutsches Museum in Munich, but of course two or three days would have been too short a time to really explore it.
Open the hazard fraught grinder and bypass the thermal overload then smoke it up outside. You have nothing to lose as long as you're careful to stay clear of the rose bushes.
Thankyou for your effort Mr. Pete. I love that 2X paint. I media blast my parts and spray them with 2X, bake em at 225 degrees in my oven for a hour and the finish comes out darn near like powdercoat. Must be in 1st gear if the longer shaft is the input.
Not only didn't show the barbeque or share any.... boohoo ... I hope it was as good as it sounded... Very interesting video and nicely planned out, can't wait for parts 3 and 4.
Funny coincidence. My father took me to the Museum of Science and Industry in 1955 when I was10 years old. I too was inspired and eventually went to the Engineering Collage at Michigan State University.
Hi Mr Pete ☺ looking good, I think the inside should be painted too, and the edges of the cuts painted red, thanks for your efforts, stay safe mate, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart.uk.
Perhaps the opening in the back could have been taller (higher above and lower below) so you could see how the high/reverse shifter meshes with the reverse gear rather than with the countershaft when in reverse.
Great Video, i‘m shure you would love the „Technische Museum“ in Vienna or the „Deutsche Museum“ in Munic, they have stunning cutaways. Thank you for your great work.
It would be interesting to replace the sections you removed with plexiglass to make the case leak-tight again then add some lube into the case and see how the lube gets distributed to all the moving parts. Then add a low RPM clock motor to spin it all. You could turn it into a lamp for the shop, add a light socket and shade on the gearshift. :-)
Show me a 4 inch angle grinder with a guard and I'll show you one that never gets used. I took mine and cut both sides down so it was about an inch and a half wide so the MSHA inspector wouldn't fine me and cut the cord off. They were jerks about grinders.
My 4 inch Bosch grinder guard can be rotated and locked to the position needed or removed entirely. I'm very pleased with its heavy duty construction and performance.
Art Fern loses his mustache, lol. Cutaway is looking great. Using the angle plate bolted into the casting was slick. Was it a carbide endmill? Because the chips were flying when you milled out the reverse gear opening.
Awsome not seen anything like this done from scratch before , thanks for taking the time to do this Mr Pete. Will you have this running with an electric motor to run it to demonstrate the gear changes ?
I think if you would put a lot more downward pressure on the cutoff wheel, it might stall out quicker. That way you would have much more to complain about.
Maybe paint one tooth on each gear a bright orange and have a small motor turning the input shaft ...Then We will have a better view of the R.P.M. OF Each gear and enjoy watching it spin all the gears
I've been thinking about getting a grinder. Don't have a serious need, but could do some messing about with one. Looking at the local hardware store there's Bosch, Makita, DeWalt yada yada - and way down at the bottom end of the market (beyond Ryobi and even below Ozito) is something that if I had to buy 4 a year of I'd still be way ahead. Thankyou Mr Pete for showing me how well a cheapie can be expected to perform. I'd better up my sights....
LOL Safety nassi's are gonna safety nassi. After all, safety officers in workplaces these days are actually paid to sit around dreaming up problems that don't exist but MUST be fixed. 25+ years I've been using grinders without guards. Only once have I had a wheel self destruct, and it was my own fault for not paying more attention when I installed it on the grinder (it was cracked). Amazingly, no matter what kind of tool or equipment you're using, if you listen to it, pay attention to it, don't abuse it, and pay it the respect it deserves, it won't harm you.
![The Secrets of the Sock Machine [Restoration]](/img/n.gif)
You could paint the edges of the cutaways red to make the opening stand out.
Agree,,,maybe paint the shifting forks with silver or Chrome paint??
I vote for each moving component in contrasting colors... Oops! Bet I'll have to sweep the shop after class!
It works for monkey's bums
You got to love cutaway! Sure CAD can be a great tool for visualizing things but it most certainly doesn't have the charm of a good cutaway! Thanks for sharing and take care!!!
Born 68, the museum of science and industry my favorite place.
Great explanations of what you were aiming to accomplish. I enjoyed this video way more than I thought I was going to. The trip to the museum in 54 must of been incredibly interesting for you and your brother.
Yes
Museum of Science and Industry is a gem. It has contributed to so many of us getting into tech over the decades.
I thought we already talked about loaning after your trailer tailgate never made it back home. Few thing are certain in this world but this one is if you loan something out it will come back late, broken or not at all. My favorite cutaway was the bicycle hub.
He did do a great job on the bicycle rear hub! 🚴♂️
I LOVED that museum when I was a kid, and when there at least twice on family vacations. My father said that I was a "born button pusher". I also remember going to a similar museum in Munich when I was about four.
I can appreciate the many hours it must have took getting this footage, loving this series!
Thanks

Cut out looks great. Have a Happy Fathers Day, ( one father to another).
Fantastic video Mr. Pete and the cut away model is going to make a great show piece.

👍👍👍
Thanks for another good one! You work so hard at this stuff, I hope it is still a fun hobby and not a job.
Sometimes it’s almost like a job, LOL
Thank you for showing the setup in the milling machine. Good to see how you hold an odd shaped piece.
👍👍👍
Enjoying this series very much !
You reminded me of trips to the Science Museum in London with my dad, where there were models you could operate and see the workings of steam engines. Fine cut away.
👍👍
I have always enjoyed the cut away view, ever since my mechanical drafting days. Enjoying your video on making a cut away, first I’ve seen.
Thanks

12:52 put a huge smile on my face... super cool.

Looking great. This transmission was a good choice because of the simple yet elegant design.
One more thing about cast iron that is almost miraculous is that it wears well, particularly in sliding motion such as valve guides and cylinder bores.
It's great so see these components, so precisely made all those years ago, the human race has been clever for a lot of years! :)
Thanks for demonstrating this process. It encourages me to do the same with some of the equipment that I deal with.
👍👍

HA, My HF cutoff tool quits as quick as yours. Its a real patience builder Mr Pete. Nice cutaway.
Mr. Pete -- I'm loving your video -- great Idea -- It will make an excellent display and teaching tool. Two thumbs up .
I have enjoyed this far more than i thought I would, thank you.
Good work Mr. Peterson... See you in chapter 3
Thank you for this series. This is really great for us whom learn from you!

You're a better man than I, doin' that cutting in shorts..! ☺
That way I don’t have to shave my legs
Very nice video Mr. Pete. I have always like cut aways. As a gunsmith I find them very interesting and useful with guns too.
Awesome as always Mr. Pete, from a guy that was three years old in 1954.
Consider adding small magnets to allow the cut away parts to be held back in place to retain the casting beauty?
I hope you had a good BBQ.
It's looking really great. Reminds me of a model gearbox we had at school. They never did use it, it just sat in the glass cupboard year after year. One day a friend and I snuck into the classroom at lunchtime and got it out without permission. It was fascinating. We tried to make a replica out of lego later on.

I also had the chance to spend half a day at the Deutsches Museum in Munich, but of course two or three days would have been too short a time to really explore it.
Think your idea for interior contrast is a good one !
Open the hazard fraught grinder and bypass the thermal overload then smoke it up outside. You have nothing to lose as long as you're careful to stay clear of the rose bushes.
Yes
I did that with mine, so now it's useable. It gets so hot that you need to wear gloves but it still has not let any of the magic smoke out yet 👍
Thankyou for your effort Mr. Pete. I love that 2X paint. I media blast my parts and spray them with 2X, bake em at 225 degrees in my oven for a hour and the finish comes out darn near like powdercoat. Must be in 1st gear if the longer shaft is the input.
@12:06 You could find out based on how much effort it takes to turn the gearbox. That's my answer.
You were in High Gear (3rd Gear) as the input and out put shafts were turning the same speed.
Thank you for sharing. Fan-tastic.
Another great vid from the master. I thought we were in First gear? Thanks for this series so far and take care.
Good morning Mr. Pete, Looks like you as Art Fern found the Slawson cut off .
Not only didn't show the barbeque or share any.... boohoo ... I hope it was as good as it sounded... Very interesting video and nicely planned out, can't wait for parts 3 and 4.
Funny coincidence. My father took me to the Museum of Science and Industry in 1955 when I was10 years old. I too was inspired and eventually went to the Engineering Collage at Michigan State University.

Hi Mr Pete ☺ looking good, I think the inside should be painted too, and the edges of the cuts painted red, thanks for your efforts, stay safe mate, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart.uk.
Very very good working 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
I also like your impersonation of Nixon with the lost recordings. LOL.
Thank you Mr. P
Excellent series sir. You can always offer the finished article to Jay Leno...........for a price of course!
Perhaps the opening in the back could have been taller (higher above and lower below) so you could see how the high/reverse shifter meshes with the reverse gear rather than with the countershaft when in reverse.
You should do a cutaway of that red cut off tool and show HF how to improve it!!!
There is no way to improve it they have to start over
Great job, Should look fantastic!!!!
Have a great day
Very impressive.
Great Video, i‘m shure you would love the „Technische Museum“ in Vienna or the „Deutsche Museum“ in Munic, they have stunning cutaways.
Thank you for your great work.
Thank you, I bet I would love those museums
I would have painted the inside a cream colour and all the edges of the cut-away red, as that's what I always remember the cut-aways looking like
Yes. But too lazy
Thank you very much, very intriguing,and instructive.
Good job sir@!
It would be interesting to replace the sections you removed with plexiglass to make the case leak-tight again then add some lube into the case and see how the lube gets distributed to all the moving parts. Then add a low RPM clock motor to spin it all. You could turn it into a lamp for the shop, add a light socket and shade on the gearshift. :-)
My friend's model A would do 50 mph downhill but took forever to stop!
Most likely 1st, because of the proximity to the reverse idler.
Great video of a really neat project!!
Looking good so far, And you were in1st gear.
Let’s see you were halfway in first gear and close to sliding into second gear. Loving the videos.
Show me a 4 inch angle grinder with a guard and I'll show you one that never gets used. I took mine and cut both sides down so it was about an inch and a half wide so the MSHA inspector wouldn't fine me and cut the cord off. They were jerks about grinders.
My 4 inch Bosch grinder guard can be rotated and locked to the position needed or removed entirely. I'm very pleased with its heavy duty construction and performance.
Great tutorial as always! Thank you sir!
Great job👍
I was reading up on the model A transmissions. It turns out there are only 4 left in existance, well, now 3 😁
not a model T transmission it's a model A
Lyle probably has the 4 model T's in a corner somewhere. This tranny is a model A.
Art Fern loses his mustache, lol. Cutaway is looking great. Using the angle plate bolted into the casting was slick. Was it a carbide endmill? Because the chips were flying when you milled out the reverse gear opening.
Awsome not seen anything like this done from scratch before , thanks for taking the time to do this Mr Pete. Will you have this running with an electric motor to run it to demonstrate the gear changes ?
Yes
First thing I do with right angle grinder is remove the guard.
I think if you would put a lot more downward pressure on the cutoff wheel, it might stall out quicker. That way you would have much more to complain about.
I need to try that. I have not been complaining quite enough lately
I was hoping you could tell me what the difference is between a 4 jaw mile chuck and a 4 jaw lathe chuck
Lyle, Thanks
Suprised you did not Mill out the Whole Cutout - Both Sides
Very nice!
Maybe paint one tooth on each gear a bright orange and have a small motor turning the input shaft ...Then We will have a better view of the R.P.M. OF
Each gear and enjoy watching it spin all the gears
I wish you build a transmission out of the best of both and sold it to me.
Thanks for another great edutainment video. Next we need some shiftless person to demonstrate it.
4:41 soapstone artiste extraordinaire!
9:14 I have to say you were putting too much pressure on that poor little grinder lol but I suppose you have to, otherwise the bugger won't cut it!
I've been thinking about getting a grinder. Don't have a serious need, but could do some messing about with one.

You're a great teacher Pete! What material would the original pattern-makers use to create the master pattern? Ceramic? Wood? Like the housing...
Lyle has the perfect personality for an instructor. Always a pleasure.

You should throw that HF grinder thru the front window of the freight store.
Good idea. If I did that in New York City, I would not get arrested.
@@mrpete222 Sad but true.
Isn't that a great museum, I was in the same state of mind the first time.
Thanks for the video.
