Thanks for checking out the latest episode of "Will it Run?"! This time we'll see if we can get my old Model T to move under its own power for the first time in 50 years! This episode picks up where part 1 left off, and then we'll go for a ride with our guest my good friend Peter Anderson of Australia! He flew all the way to Canada to hang out and wrench on a few projects with us while he was here! I thought it would be fun to see what he thought of the old "T", and so we went for a drive and then I let him at it! Many thanks to Peter for surprising me and sticking around to help out!

My Grandfather always started his T with the crank because he said that it provided more electrical power to the engine from the battery because he wasn't pulling down the battery at the same time he was trying to start it. I never remember his old Mod T not starting on just one crank every time even in the dead of winter. I'm 66 and this was a long time ago when i was a pre-teen. He would take us on a trip into town and he would often go around 50 mph but that was really moving out for that old tin Lizzie. It is a wonderful memory.

TBull Cajunbreadmaker All 6 volt cars start better with the crank.....as my Dad used to tell me, crank it over two turns ignition off to build compression then turn on and give it a sharp jerk....with the thumb not wrapped around the handle! Do not ask me how I know about the thumb thing.....

@TBullCajunbreadmaker

4 жыл бұрын

@@jamesanderton344 Yes that's true about the dead cranks and the reason you used your thumb is because the crank could bind up every once in a while no matter how well lubricated and cleaned it was on the shaft. When you wrapped your hand and fingers around the crank handle, if it binded up and the crank started turning with the engine your hand could be broken big time. So by using the thumb your hand would not get caught up on the handle and the thumb would be simply pushed away from the crank instead of your hand being wrapped up and twisted around with the crank. PaPa said he had seen a lot of people with broken fingers and wrists. I'll bet a lot of people had to learn the hard way back in the day.

Three years ago, I missed this episode, was a good to watch and see Pete Anderson.

Seeing that old model T cruising around is so wonderful and the best part it's original not all butchered up and turned into a hot rod I'm so glad you got this one and saved a part of history

My condolences to the Anderson's for their loss. It was strange but entertaining to hear "Same ol' shit." in an Australian accent. The T looks and sounds like so much fun! I hope some new tires are in its future. Thanks again for taking us along for the ride!!

Worlds collide! Drone footage of a model T tooling through amber waves of grain in the sun set.

A drive like that is why we take on the challenge of getting an old car like that running. it's history and a feeling of better times gone by.

LOVE SEEING THE WHEAT!!!!! As a kid in 2nd grade, we learned about Alberta, and the massive wheat crops. I would love to see them in real life.

Great to see Peter Anderson with you enjoying your beautiful Model T, what a delight. Annie was such a sweetheart, bless ‘er.

That really is amazing that you got that to run and drive with minimal work. They really built those cars to last and to find one stored for 50 yrs and in untouched condition is even more amazing. Thanks for the great video and sharing with all of us.

Like Agent Jim said " That's a very nice car ! " totally agree, a great design that still works almost 100 years later :) Cheers from Australia to Scott, Frankers, Tom, and all the Agents :)

It's Sunday morning in Australia so that can only mean one thing; the latest from CWM. I eating my breakfast and watching a beaut old Model T going for a spin. Good to see Ando there as shotgun and observeor. Those Model T's had a wierd driving set up but you would get used to it pretty soon.

After watching the latest episode I just had to come back and rewatch this masterpiece. The last 10 minutes is pure cinematic art!

I love the setting you used to showcase the T. Wheat fields, Parked in a pole barn, hand cranked complete with fashionable farmer clothes!! Just like It was back in its day. Thank you CWM for the time travel to another millennia when life was a whole lot simpler and moved a lot slower!! Francine look lovely in her seat watching over things.

Mr Anderson....I've enjoyed following your '57 Plymouth videos, A beautiful car sir. We need to see progress on it though. And Scott's model T....unbelievable that a car that sits that long fires right up. Absolutely stellar!

Very much enjoy the banter, education, and your appreciation of all mechanical parts that you have reconditioned for use in this series and the straight 8 series. Nice to see someone recognize old school quality of a bygone era. Of course all would not be the same without Frankers gracing the scene. Cheers from Southern Alabama.

Thanks for taking us for a ride through the wheat fields that was super cool looking like it belonged there. This channel never disappoints.

Be nice to Peter! His videos are so satisfying.. don't corrupt him. You gotta love KZread.

Wow. You just took me back to 1978 and going for a ride with Sophie, Mom, Dad, me and Penny the dog. A mid summer night and we go to the drive in for ice cream cones and a drive around town and out in the country on some gravel roads before dark. Damn you Cold War Motors for getting me misty eyed! Good job Agents...Carry on!

ALWAYS SO KOOL TO HEAR THE SOUND OF LIFE IN A-LOT OF WORK TO GET A PROJECT RUNNING, THE REST IS GOING TO BE ICING ON THE CAKE SCOTT............................

Such early autumn beauty in Canada! I love the Model-T through the wheat fields! I live in the San Francisco, Ca area, but grew up in Buffalo, NY, just across the border, reminds me of the Autumn.

This one brings back sweet memories of a '25 coupe my dad had . Purchased from a guy about 1949 who was collecting vehicles considered "old" at the time (20s, teens, and earlier) for re-sale. These were very plentiful in the late 40's. Ours was a one-owner - yes, an old maid school teacher had it and stored it until the re-seller removed it from her garage. The interior was totally original, complete an 'A' sticker from WWII on the windshield (US ration that would maybe get you to the grocery once or twice a week). There was a Model T club in Rochester NY at the time with over a hundred members and owners. As about a 12 year old, I helped my dad take the engine/transmission (not really separable) down into the basement where we did a complete disassembly/assembly during the winter. Even lapped the lead bearings with a knife. That engine absolutely purred like a kitten when complete - would idle down to well under 500 rpm. In fact, if you could get it to stop a the right location, it would spontaneously fire upon switching to magneto - no starter required!! Thanks for the memories.

What a cool channel. Never thought I'd run out of content but KZread is starting to get old just like sports and TV. This channel is so entertaining. I've had 5 black Labs growing up and Ill always have one, but that poodle is awesome. What a cool dog.

Great job Scott on the old girl, another car put back to good use, can’t wait till you paint her black and have her looking beautiful

Ninety years ago in my mind I can see a couple with a picnic basket off for fun day out The T driving pass the old red barns looks like she was home. From another Aussie thanks for sharing 👏👏. She’s a keeper Scott

Canuks in cars having radiator tea. Nicely done!

Such an honest design, the T Model Ford..one gets the feeling that its default state is 'ready-to-work' - dust 'er off after 60 forgotten years and drive to town! G'day Pete...that was some fancy wheel twirling, there (and I'm jealous as all shit.) 😊

Scott! What a blast you are having with the model T! Wow! A little more TLC and you have a driver! The simplisty. To bad cars aren't built like that any more...

I like the Gary Cooper "High Noon" filming angles at the end. Well done.

Let's see if the new junk sold today can still drive through a wheat field 95 years from now. Nice old Ford !

I love it, "These tires are really bad" I kept going too with a green one owner 1965 Galaxie two door hardtop with dry rotted, bias -ply two-stripe Nylon tires from Stockton, California to Reno Nevada at 70+ mph on Interstate 80 back in 1991. The car sat for years before I got it for $800 and drove it to Nevada. Winter made it like an ice rink all the way , fun times in a great old car :)

16:50 There are some true daredevils in the Agency...The absolutely LAST thing I would do is reach over a spinning fan, even if I was following the radiator connection, but you guys are like "Hey - look at this!" And I liked the camera set up for the ridealong...people say "I wish I was the fly on the wall" when referring to eavesdropping, but in this case, you're more than welcome to come along. This is just too cool for school!

The results of Henry Fords competitive spirit and he liked money , but he put the average American on the road for $260.00 at the peak of the T. Great show, learned a lot about a T. Thanks

Scott besides my love amd fascination with the late 50s and early 60s cars I had loved very early cars, the model T touring especially and it is so fascinating to see an actual 100 year old piece of history that was built so simply and so well. Getting used to the order of starting ant the different pedal arrangement and function reminds me of first time driving a stick and after the learning to drive an on the column. I had read in the book Cannery row of how a borrowed model T pickup need a few parts borrowed and then when going over a steep hill the boys had to finally back it up over the hill as the forward band was worn but the reverse not so much, thinking of your car and that book is a trip into a simpler era, when every man had as much as another, be it very little and shared willingly, this reminds me of good friends I have, and of you and the guys who do the same, not working extra hours at a job for money, but forthe fun of an interesting project and just hanging out with good friends, as one the best ways to spend time, sharing it with people you like.

That's a stunner of a Model T, very few left in Australia. Love your understated production style, there's obviously shed loads of action and repairs happening between shots but you just glide right on over it.

Its amazing that these still pop up in such original condition still, will there ever come a day no more are found

Back in the past ... a successful video. Thank you for sharing and thumbs up.

My crazy neighbors to the North. Gotta love 'em.

That Model T wants to live! I love how it starts on one sharp turn of the crank! Also enjoying the field shots and the sound of the trains, very evocative!

This pure lovely Model T is way before my time but gee, i can not see any modern vehicle sitting for 50 years and then running again with minimal effort. As this vehicle doesn't have all the drivers aids modern vehicles do, it was back when you had to use judgement, and know how to drive them. LOVE these old vehicles.

Great fun, I watch Peter Anderson on here all the time. Surprising to see him in Canada.

That Ole Girl is amazing! For her to have survived this long, and still perform her Duties! WOW!

Closing shots...Perfect.

From The Deserts of California. The shot at 20:45 to 20:57, is the very best of all! Could have been used with a fad out at the very end ! Absolutely WONDERFUL!! Also, would like your approval to use a couple of screen shots for oil paintings, please! Hell, I'm gonna use them anyways,...mate!

Your 100 percent correct, just get it working as it should and don't change a thing within reason. This time capsule could and should go to any car show in the world as is. There might not be another one like it and as a Canadian, I'm sure proud it came from Canada.

Sad to hear about Peters Dog passing away . Awesome videos , always looking forward to see what the CWM crew has been up to .

The radiator is just a big teapot with cooling fins on it. It isn't a pressure radiator as you already know. In the old days shade tree mechanics used to crack a few raw eggs into the radiator and as they poached they eggs would temporarily seal the leaks. Lots of chickens so lots of eggs!!

you just can't not smile. really smoothed out after ~15:30. Loved the drone video footage and music at the end. Well done !! Thanks.
