Great video. Few people understand these early electrical systems. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, Steve. Your vids inspired me.
Glad you found it helpful. I appreciate the shout out too!
I've picked up a number old Model T generators for parts over the years, some came with a cutout still attached. I decided to open one up to see how it looked. The weight of the old cutout was twice the modern one I had on my T. I found the one I opened to be perfectly good still and I've been running it for almost a year.
I have a little experience now with the old cut-outs. They seem to be well-made. I like using them, if I can, since they are maintainable and fixable, and I just like running the original stuff on the car when I can. Thanks for watching!
Hello ! I very much enjoyed the video ! Very informative and I’ll be using it to help me along .
I have a 27 TT.
Be great to connect with you .
I’m from Manitoba .
Great music you have also !
Great. Glad it was helpful. Your TT sounds interesting. Is it a Canadian truck? If you wish to drop me a line, my email is FlivverChannel (at) Gmail (dot) com
Super helpful, as I didn't realise that's what was in the box and will keep an eye on the gauge when I switch it off. Also just ordered a battery isolator. Thanks
Great!
Great explanation One point though, you should remove the positive battery terminal first for safety on a positive ground system.
That is excellent advice for Model A. Very correct. Model T is Negative ground, so opposite.
@@flivverchannel I didn't know that the T's are negative ground. I had assumed they were the same as the later models. You learn something every day. 🙋♂😉
@@MatthewBerginGarage bizarre how the T is Neg ground, the the As were Pos ground...then sometime quite later all the cars switched to Neg ground again. Maybe I should research that and make a video!
@@flivverchannel I heard that the positive ground system lead to less body rust, but the wiring connections would corrode more readily. Corroded wire connections on my 1953 Ford with only 7 wires on the engine is not a big problem. My 1997 Lincoln Mark VIII with it's 4" bundle of 20 gauge wires heading for the engine is an entirely different matter.😱
Awesome video. Here I thought my cutout was draining the battery and that isn't the issue. I appreciate the step-by-step instructions. Any idea how a guy can troubleshoot where an electrical drain would be?
Have you found your electrical drain? Sorry I wasn't any help.
@@flivverchannel No. The generator wasn't charging so I had it rebuilt. The battery still goes dead over time.
@@classicalvintagecollector I wonder if my battery would drain slowly too, but I don't notice because I use a master battery switch. Wish I could be more help.
I am rewiring a 29 Model A, 6v pos ground. As soon as connect power to the cutout the safety fuze blows, if I bypass the fuse the wire smokes as does the wires to and from the ammeter. Bad cutout?
Charles. Would need to know more detail to try to help. Are the situations you describe with the engine running and the generator turning, or engine off?
