Hello readers, how are you? I want to tell you: THERE IS A GOD WHO LOVES YOU AND HE WANTS TO SAVE YOU. The proof of His Love for you was on the cross. This God has a law, we do not keep it, we sin, our sins condemn us, but still, even if we are imperfect, God is merciful, because this God sent his Son Jesus Christ to this earth to save the world, Jesus is the Son of God, Jesus was the one who perfectly fulfilled the law of God, HE pleased God. When Jesus was here, he did good to all and healed those oppressed by the devil, he performed miracles, signs and wonders, the blind saw, the deaf heard, the dumb spoke, the lame walked and the dead rose again, because God was with him. Jesus was a man who stretched out his hands to those who had fallen and did not step on them. Jesus came to save and seek what was lost. Jesus is the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, this Jesus was rejected, offended and condemned to death and death on a cross, but this is where God shows us his love, in that Christ died on the cross for our sins, he died for us, it was an exchange, he suffered condemnation in our place, and after three days God raised his Son Jesus Christ from the dead, because death could not stop him, for in him there was no sin. Jesus Christ conquered death, He conquered death and today we have hope, God now announces repentance to all men. JESUS ​​CHRIST is the Judge who will judge the living and the dead, what GOD is now announcing to all people is repentance. Repent of your sins, turn from your sins, believe in Jesus Christ, you cannot be saved by your good works, only Jesus can forgive your sins and save your soul, believe in him today, repent today.

I think this is brilliant getting all those old vehicles to run again. It goes to show how good and reliable the early internal combustion engines were, not like the nightmare modern engines today. We done up a 1977 Zetor tractor here in Ireland a couple of years ago and we appreciate the amount that goes into getting a vehicle running again.

My granddad pieced three tractors together from car part, sort of a mix & match in 1942. Sold the first two He kept the last one. Had an Oakland frame Model TT rear end, Model AA motor & trans, and ultimately a huge Twin Cites tractor radiator to help with overheating issues. He ran it for about 40 years. I used to drive it when helping out around his little spread. The Model TT brakes were shot and were simply disconnected so you didn’t want to let it get up a head of speed, which it easily would. He even rigged up his own 3-point, power takeoff and sickle bar mower. Great video! Stirs up memories.

Hey Jennings Motor sports! I had just happen to stumble across on your youtube channel not to long ago and I got to say, I really am impressed on your knowledge on old cars like this 1930 Ford model A doodlebug. Maybe in the future you could potentially make a second series in your youtube channel that deals with restoring such classic and beautiful cars like this car. Like maybe you could show us your whole restoration of not only the entire engine of the car, but also the chassis and maybe even the transmission. Or maybe you could even show us on the putting of the frame of the other model a that you state that you possess at the moment. Heck I may even want to see you in some other restoration projects once you are one with the model a doodlebug. Whatever is the case of your choice to restore first, I would like to see you make another series in your youtube channel. I really would enjoy it. P.S I just subscribed.
