Brings back memories of my childhood where I took one(transmission from model A) apart in the late 60s or 70s. My dad had it mounted on legs with a large probably 16 or 20 inch pulley and motor with a step pulley on it made to drive on the clutch end, and a pedal grindstone on the driveshaft end of the transmission. The setup was used for a speed reducer to sharpen mower sickles and butcher knives without having to pedal the stone by foot or hand.! I still remember that on drive clutch end he had the pulley centered with nails driven into the splines/gap/ to center the pulley hole/shaft/ and had the gap poured full with babbit or lead, not exactly sure of the filler he used but suspect it was babbit from rod bearings/caps. Low gear was a good sharpening speed for the grindstone. High would make it run much faster. As a young kid I took it and many other things apart to see how it worked. I was young but I learned all about gear ratio and leverage from that old setup.Also learned that that kind of grease was hard to wash out of clothing(: Nice Job on the videos!
Mr. Pete, yes the trans was a dark green as was the engine. I would paint the inside of the trans case white to contrast the gears. Just my 2 cents on that.
It's really amazing to me that Ol' Henry and his overworked employees were able to make such a wonderfully simple, yet complicated and precision assembly, at a very high volume at such an early point in the industrial age. People don't realize the complications involved here. It is also amazing that after 90 or so years, you could put that transmission back into service with very little effort or expense! Good stuff!
Very interesting so far. I have never seen a Model A transmission. I stayed for the extra credit because I figure with enough extra credit I can probably pass the course eventually.
That is exactly the kind of videos that I look for. I'm happy that those transmissions found you. Your truely an inspiration and make me want to go play in my shop. Thank you Mr.Pete.
As a kid on the farm, we had a wooden one hole corn sheller driven by a small engine through a Model A transmission using low gear. We used it to husk black walnuts in the fall. It was always fun to put the transmission in reverse and watch the machine put the husks back on the walnuts.
Awesome Sir! I did that with a Triumph Spitfire transmissions from about 1968-- used a large hole saw to make several view points. This is a great way to teach power transmission--plus, kids love playing with it and seeing how the ratios work!
Okay, that was fascinating! Two things: (1) My machinist grandfather had one of these connected to a band saw for speed reduction. Most likely it was a wood cutting saw and he used the transmission to slow it down for metal cutting. (2) This part is a testament to the entire craft of machine shop work. Every part was made on the shop floor. NO CNC. NO COMPUTERS. All made by Ford machinists who most likely learned how to do it in the Henry Ford Trade School in Dearborn. Mr. Pete has showed some of the Ford text books used by the apprentices in their education. Can you even imagine a factory set up today to produce these? They made thousands and thousands of them. Can hardly wait to see the next parts!
That trans stand is very slick. I will use that idea for future trans projects. Green is the right color. The rear shaft is the main shaft as the forward shaft is the input shaft.
Extra credit was awesome Mr. Pete. In HS I attended far more shop classes than my schedule showed due to inattentive teachers of "unimportant" classes...so yeah, shop class extra credit is cool.
Thanks for sharing! You know we had a lot of cut aways in the Army. Thankfully for knot heads like me who can't understand things unless I see them working.
Everyone I've ever known to repair one of those old model A transmissions has replaced the rivets with sheer pins. The hollow rolled steel pins with the split down the side. Their plenty strong enough and don't easily work their way out. Especially with some lock-tite to help hold them.
Thanks for the extra credit, without it I would never have graduated from high school. Another project possibility, A parts washer made from a recycled stainless steel kitchen sink.
Lol "reinforced learning" catchphrase for everything so somebody could write a book, which no one wanted to read....You crack me up Tubalcain, not only do I always learn something new in each video, you always make me laugh even on a tough day. Thanks for that.
More great memories. We did a lot of auto part cut-a-ways at my first school. I made a 24" bow saw from a Peerless power hack saw blade and the kids would take turns sectioning the larger cut-a-ways. Great video
You could make a fortune exporting these things - even unrestored, a transmission like that would be several hundred Euros in Germany - and this one looks to be in pristine condition! Amazing how simple it is to take apart with nothing but a socket and a punch. I realise many say to paint the inside white for better visibility, but I've always liked cast housings to be red on the inside - for no particular reason.
Excellent presentation and timely .Thank you so much! I just bought my first Model A (1930) upon retirement from my 52 years of employment and also from working on antique tractors. I noticed a nice little puddle on the machine shed floor where my car had marked it's territory under the transmission over the past week. Hoping it was the wrong gear oil from the previous owner. Oh, by the way. Someone played a trick on you and put a Cubs logo on your t-shirt. :-)
Oh wow, this is fantastic! Cutaways are amazing - it's always a delight to find them in museums and such (the Udvar-Hazy center has a wonderful collection of aircraft engine cutaways). Brilliant pedagogical tools; if our schools were functional students would have access to these sorts of things...
I remember years ago reading a how to article in a old car magazine on how to make a flex beam torque wrench using a shift lever from a model A Ford transmission.
Great video. It's amazing that something so simple has gone to the wayside. Modern technology has made things next to impossible for simple mechanics to repair. One thought. It may be worth while to paint the interior of the gearbox white to make it easier to view the interior of the cutaway once complete. Maybe even install a few small led lights inside.
Another fun video, Lyle.... I always enjoy seeing how these old beauties were made and put together. Looking forward to the remaining parts to come... Russ
Hi Mr Pete ☺ the old box is in pretty good nick for its age, I guess they didn't build redundancy in it , not like the junk we have now,lol . This is going to be an interesting series, looking forward to the next one, stay safe mate, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart.uk.
Mr.Pete you do multi part videos correctly in my estimation, I've noticed that lately many youtubers copy your or attempt to copy you technique for video production. What they are doing is taking a something that could be done in one part and dragging it out into multi parts I guess to have content where there is none. Thanks and greetings for the NJ Bayshore.
What a cute little unit. In essence, the same as now, without the loose needles and hardened thrust washers and the constant-mesh gearing and synchronizers and all the other things that higher horsepower requires. Should make a darned good cutaway. BTW, the detent "bullets" not only help secure the gear in mesh, but lock the adjacent shaft to keep the unit from going into 2 gears at once. A bit of nomenclature: input shaft, main shaft, counter shaft/cluster, reverse idler and shaft. 1st, 2nd and reverse are gear drives, 3rd is a spline clutch. All of the gears, input and main shafts and cluster are steel forgings, castings would not stand up, even at the reduced loadings of the day. These shafts make excellent sources of alloy steel for fabrication.
Great content as usual, thanks again Mr Pete. All your extra credit parts are super interesting too, I always watch them which I guess means that four decades after leaving school I finally became a teachers pet.
I rebuilt the T5 transmission in my 1990 Mustang. Even though it's 60 years newer there are many similarities between that Ford 3 speed and my 5 speed, especially if you ignore how they tacked on the overdrive 5th and the syncros. I had no problem in following along. The T5 has a similar cluster gear, similar reverse idler shaft, input shaft, output shaft, and shifting forks. Looking forward to the next in the series.
Thank you Mr Pete. I really enjoyed this video and shared it with someone that has a model A. You also made my wife's day with your comment on educators. Have a great weekend.
Thanks for this excellent video! Extremely interesting to see inside a gearbox like this, particularly as I've always regarded gearboxes as something too complicated to get involved with! Now for the first time in my 60 years I can get some understanding of how gearboxes work. Thank you so much :-)
In all the manual transmissions I used to work on, the needle bearings where free. Held in place by just grease to reassemble. Almost always, some fell back out making one want to say, never mind. I never seen needle bearings like them on that transmission. Makes me think that they made a change to just rile me. Much preferred to work on automatics back then.
The heavy spring on the shifter “handle” held the handle in position. While driving, the driver could lift the handle out of the detent and rotate it out of the way to allow more leg room for the center passenger.
Thanks for this video, very interesting. I have driven a few Model A's, but never had one apart. I think Dr Elden Lichty, Dept of Ed, IS(N)U, wrote one of those books you referenced, that nobody read. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Hi Lyle, I have been told that the dark green paint was specified because it perfectly matched the color of dried and aged oil and grease. There was little chance of having no leakage, so why not camouflage it!
Thank you for another great video! I wonder if one of these transmissions could be used as a reduction drive for the bandsaw you were trying to convert for metalworking a while back? Wouldn't it be cool to have a stick shift on your bandsaw?
I have one of these that came with the bell housing. I'm going to use mine for a garden tractor somewhat like the Popular Mechanics pow'r pup tractor. I also have a '49 Plymouth transmission I want to do the same with. It was a column shifter, and I'll need to make it a floor shifter to make it work. It too is a 3 speed, but it has a very long pilot shaft.
I keep counter shafts and old kingpins to use as large punched. Ive been beating on an old ford kingpin for over 40 years and haven't made a dent in it yet.
Simple but yet effective design from that era. Thanks for the tear down. Been through a few of them myself. Now lets see you do a modern automatic! :) I am sure you can. Did a four part video on a 2003 Ford 4R70W for my mustang last year. Was very fun. Thanks Mr Pete.
Mr. Pete, great entertaining video. I have a request. Would you consider making a how to video to make a splined hardened shaft. Non hardened would be OK if I'm asking too much.
You can get replacement rivets at Rivet World. At the outlet center on the old bypass. Between Batteries R Us and Lucille's Lampshades and Chandelier Emporium. Just found out they are running a sale on #4 copper rivets. If you buy over a pound the burrs are free! Read less
@uncle reeler Yes! That whole outlet center is great! I usually stop for lunch at Sammy's Only Sammiches. Their weekday special is usually an open face refried beans and onions. Monday I have a noon appointment to get my trailer hitch ball polished and calibrated at Shiny Balls.
I saw an old South Bend lathe on Craigslist last year that had a manual car transmission rigged into the pulley system, I think he had a 12 or 16 speed lathe. Without the quick change gearbox.
Quite true about patent inventorship. Up to about the 1980s we were expected to include our boss' name on the patent, even if he had little real input to the invention. It was a courtesy, sometimes a suck up, depending on attitude. Then the USPO said that a patent could be invalid if inventorship was misrepresented. So ended those with 300 to 1000 patents falsely attributed to their name.
Couldn't agree more. I have four patents that have names on them that had no input in the design or invention of the product. Countless other patents that should had my name on them as the inventor and others took the fame.
Good morning Mr. Pete, I see you are fixing to repair your first car's transmission rite after that horse died that you keep beating. I heard you when you said you bought them at auction. Every young man wants to tear into the unknown of the mechanical things. Have plenty of hand cleaner for cleaning hand after class. Good luck on your project.

Flash back to things I did in my occupation. That's a small one compared to the 5 -16 speeds I did so often.
Thank you Lyle .

Excellent as always! Thanks!
Wish now that I had taken the old trans with my "30" when I bought it. Would have been fun to disassemble along with you.
It looks well designed and extremely rugged. I would be surprised that in a model A that they ever broke. Did they?
Us Aussie mechanics call them the input shaft or spigot shaft, the output shaft or main shaft, the cluster gear or counter gear or lay gear.
Thanks
Quite true about patent inventorship.
Up to about the 1980s we were expected to include our boss' name on the patent, even if he had little real input to the invention. It was a courtesy, sometimes a suck up, depending on attitude.

Its unbelievable that these oild transmissions are still around after 90 years.

Housing could be painted Oliver or Forest Green. Be a close match.
