Lovely Ford model t.i love those old models

Thank you sir for showing it done the correct way! So many folks spin it like imbeciles. Ratchet it, its the right and smart way. 👌🏽

Just wow, from when cars were simply a tool, what an amazing piece of history, to see it work is awesome. Good for you my man.

Glad you enjoyed it. No cupholders, navigation, bluetooth, air conditioning, electric windows, seatbelts or airbags! Just basic transportation.

Normal cars had electric start by the mid teens. Only the Model Thrifty was a hold out

thanks for posting this video we need to see more stuff like this more often

The Model T is a great car. I would like to get a Model A someday because they can keep up with modern traffic. The T is a little slow for the highway but it's great for the surface streets or back roads.

I have a 1919 first year with electric starter but I always hand crank her. Great video and car. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for watching! I replaced the ring gear on the flywheel and the starter drive so that I wouldn't have to crank it. Still, it's good to do once in a while. Everybody gets a kick out of cranking a car.

I have had my 1918 Model T Ford for 77 years. For the life of me, how does one crank a cold Model T Ford with the left hand and pull the choke control with the right hand at the same time? Number 2 to keep from having a broken arm, ALWAYS hold the crank with thumb and all four fingers on the same side of the crank. If one always remembers to retard the spark, (lever up) they will not kick. If you forget, it will take the crank out of your hand when it fires and the engine will try to run backwards. That is what brakes arms. Trust me. I am 92 and KNOW how to start a cold Model T engine.

Thanks for all the great info Philip. 77 years with the same car is really amazing! A friend of mine and I are working on a 1918 Model T touring car, getting it ready to run. You will see that in an upcoming video.

Phillip Gardner, yes, good advice. My father-in-law, now passed, had a 14 T for 53 years. I never got to drive it, but he let me start it, especially as he got older. The first thing he taught me was the proper thumb position. He kept the car in good condition, it usually started on the first or second pull.

Maybe you should do a tutorial on how to start a normal car

Key, push button or remote start? LOL

In every video with a car of this era, they always seem to start on the first or second crank. This shows you that that's not what really happens

Sometimes it does take a few cranks. Other times it will start just by turning on the key! It's just a good thing that I have a starter!

Can’t you break your thumb gripping it like that? What if it kicks back?

Good question. The main danger in getting a kick back injury is in using your right hand to crank start the car. If the timing is too far advanced it can cause a kick back so, never use your right hand once the ignition is turned on. Using the left hand is safer because when the engine kicks back the crank will be pushed out of your left hand giving you time to get out of the way.

Maybe you should do key start on a normal car?

If you wanna really crank try a 16 cyl caddilac has a crank but hats no what it's for 🤗 I don't see a ruxtell there its ford original.

The good news is that I don't have to crank it. It has a starter. The only thing that has been changed on the car is the paint color. When it left the factory it was green. No Ruckstell axle.

Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station fuel pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime :-(//

I know what you're saying. Our EPA is making it impossible to modify any vehicle with a VIN in any way. They are really pushing electric cars. I think the cost to the environment will be much worse than anything the automobile has ever done on gas or diesel. It's really sad...

They will ban the sale of ICE. Whatever was bought before will be grandfathered and phased out when scrapped. Those historic vehicles will mostly be allowed for auto shows. Those cars arent used for daily drivers anyway.
