Nicely restored Ford T... Lots of dusty cast iron, fun and easy to machine but dusty as hell... Here after 20 years of driving in Winter weather and salty roads the whole car needs no litening, salt and corrosion do the job, just need to be patient... lol
Hi there, just found your channel, watched all your videos and thoroughly enjoyed them. Thank you. 'liked' all I saw and have subscribed. Look forward to many more Jerry, across the pond in Hampshire England. Hope your shoulder is much improved.
Thanks, Jerry. Shoulder is coming along. I won't know for sure how well the surgery works until a few weeks into physical therapy, which starts in about a week.
Thanks for sharing, Joe. I used to balance engines when I had my automotive machine shop. Never did a model A. We used to lighten flywheels for race cars, cut them on the big brake drum lathe.
Good morning Joe, happy to be here. spring of 1962 I was on my way to be born summer 1963:). We love the stories and enjoy you sharing them, thank you. Who is that good looking man next to that car WOW you have the first car you ever had what a memory lane event. 29 pounds that is like a whole major car part of a modern car, interesting. Thank you Joe, Lance & Patrick.
Thanks for the video Joe. My dad talked about how he had to back up hills in his Model A if he was very low on gas or the hill was very steep because he couldn't get gas to the carb.
Thanks, Bob. I think your dad would have been referring to a Model T, which had the gas tank under the seat. The Model A has the gas tank in the cowl, right above the carb.
This was great!! I love watching lathe work and having it explained as you go was an awesome addition. Thank you.

Be patient and let the salt work...that's funny. Fortunately, in Northern Calif. they use gravel instead of salt.
`That looks like fun Joe. Glad it was your shop and not mine. LOL. Cast iron had to be everywhere.
Thanks for sharing.

Wasn't as bad as you might think, Dan. Chip deflector and inside-out machining helped a lot.

Thanks for sharing. My first 'car' was a 1958 IH 1/2 ton pickup. Fond memories. Wish I still had it.
Take care,
Mark
I know what you mean...I had lots of cars after the A that I wish I had back.

I can see how a big drum lathe would work quite well, Steve.

Thanks, guys--glad you liked the story. I was concerned that I might be rambling on too much.
Great video. I want to lighten my flywheel for a stock clutch. About 10lbs. Nice to see that you address the little details.
Nice car Joe. Nice work on the flywheel. Lots of chips.
Thanks, Randy. More chips coming soon.
So when people "redesign" the balance design of a Ford model A engine, does the performance and response of the engine go up or stay the same?
Thanks for the video Joe. My dad talked about how he had to back up hills in his Model A if he was very low on gas or the hill was very steep because he couldn't get gas to the carb.

Good story about first car. Mine was a little newer it was 47 Plymouth coup flat head 6 I bout for fifty dollars just before my first trip to Viet nam
Mine cost $125. That must have been about 5 years before yours.
DAD'S 1ST CAR ---- NEVER TOOK A DRIVERS TEST , BACK THEN YOU DIDN'T NEED TO !!!
That depended on where you live. Some states started testing very early, some as late as the 1950's.

Uncle flew a stearman cropdusting in Texas early 20s, no license needed.
EVERY WINTER MY GRANDFATHER WOULD GET MAD BECAUSE THE CHEAP MODEL A WOULD START &
HIS PIERCE ARROW WOULDN'T :-)
Now that's funny. My Model A was (is) really good in the snow because the narrow tires cut through and got a bite.
