Test driving 100 year old cars! (I’m buying one)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 лют 2024
- Ever since I went out to the Ochoco mountains to rescue the T-Bums after they were caught in a severe thunder storm, I've been wanting one of these old cars. This is without a doubt one the coolest and most fun ways to go off roading that I've seen, and I want to join in. Since I know nothing about these cars and the differences between them, Dennis invited us up to go over a few different models, and take them for a test drive. After driving both a Model T and a Model A, I'm even more hooked and on the hunt for one!

Ethan is a good sport to allow filming of him learning. There is enough stress learning but doing it so a quarter of a million people can watch it is a heavy weight. Glad you can shrug it off.
He learned the same way Casey did with all the experts watching
I like how Ethan respects your equipment. He's a good sport as well.
"The most random episode ever" on one of the most random channels I watch is perfect. I love that when you post a video it could be anything from product reviews to family outings to heavy wrecker jobs.
As someone who used to drive trucks and train others I've got to say you're calm deliberate vague instructions were great. If you just give the trainee all the info without having them learn by doing it, it just never seems to work. Good job Ethan and Casey. One word of caution though buying cars and trucks can become a habit that's hard to control.
AND casey wants a big schoolbus
Reminds me of teaching my girlfriend and future wife how to drive a manual transmission. It got into that repetitive lunging forward-almost stop that happens before you learn to modulate the clutch. She was about to cry but I told her that everyone does that when they are learning and it may take a few tries but she will get the feel of it.
@@dyson9422 It can be a very punishing thing to learn to drive stick. I remember my Mom teaching me in her old Honda, same deal as your old lady. Damn thing tried to buck me off!
That was neat to see you driving a 100 yo car in clear country. Where you can see 100 mikes from horizon to horizon.
Thanks Ethan, you managed to push me back into the year 1988, driving lessons in a truck. Having the best of times, including the stressed look I see on your face, and your brain in overdrive.
I was learning to drive the truck and back up a trailer all in the same day lol, right around the same time...Dad was in the passenger seat containing his laughter quite well. Within the next 6 months I had driven each variety of truck on the yard hooking up and swapping out doubles - 70's internationals with air starters, 6 speed sidewinder Macks, twin screw volvo sleepers - yeh, backing up a converter dolly with one of those is a hoot and a half!!
@@philn9813 My brain hurts just thinking about doing that last part. I'd have it all twisted up in no time.
@@--_DJ_-- It was all fun stuff. A driver might be coming through keeping the front load and picking up a new rear, so, he'd drop the rear trailer, keep his dolly and we'd spot the new rear behind the dolly - sort of a parallel/90 degree parking job backwards...The reality was you could show up for your shift and drive anything from the yard switcher with a hydraulic fifth wheel or a tractor of some flavor. The variety kept you on your toes for sure!
I can so see Casey off roading with the Model T club soon, he had so much fun helping the club when they needed it. 😊😊😊
'The Cascade Crew's Steampunk Adventure!'
There was a kit that added a third axle and tracks in the rear and skis for the front for rural mail delivery among other users.
Sort of a track pickup .
There some really cool photos of those early tracked conversions. A quick search for "ford model t track truck" turns up some fun websites.
Good morning Casey I agree that a series of teaching Ethan stuff would definitely be a good idea.
The reason it would be a good idea is because it helps Ethan but you also educate your subscribers about things that may not know
Ethan needs to get more confident in my opinion learning from you is a true honor because you will teach him the right way and not just the short cut tricks.
Are you running low on power steering? When he was turning the wheel backing up sounded like you may need to add some power steering unless that is a normal thing.
Talk to Merlin @ old school garage he usually has some hanging around.
Random subject videos are always entertaining. With Casey, you never know what kind of mischief and mayhem he will get into. Great stuff.
The original cruse control on those old Model T Fords. You did so much better driving that old car than I would have done for sure.
Original cruise control u mean the case of beer on the gas pedal👌
Casey just gave a new meaning too "dump trailer" 🙂🙂
Good job with the "dump trailer" Ethan. 😄😄😄 and the Zacklift.
If you are gonna buy one, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE MERLINS OLD SCHOOL GARAGE ON SPEED DIAL! HE CAN JUICE THEM UP AS WELL
This was my first thought too, Merlin's got the parts and knows these machines. Remember seeing a video from a while back of him teaching someone to drive his and I was thinking "aint no way I'm doing that well..."
Ol Merlin is a ttump disciple id stay away from him
@@derrickodyes1934you ever learn to type/write English, or no? I can tell who you support lmao
There actually is a very active, skilled and knowledgeable Model T club locally in Central Oregon. Need engine rebuilds, pour the bearings in the block, whatever; it is all available locally.
@derrickodyes1934 I'd stay away from you just for avoiding someone for their political views.
That steering wheel looks 'safe'. They moved the steering wheel ring further down so it won't stop/slow you down when you are going to get impaled with the steering axle.
Nice, I would buy the truck. My Uncle used to buy these, fix them up, drive them a bit, then sell them. My Dad and Uncle used one of these trucks with an old hood tied to the back to clear and dig the hole to the half sunk basement for our house. They bolted two 2x4s to each side of the hood and my Dad held those while my Uncle drove the truck.
It’s great to see you teaching Ethan how to use the Zacklift. Fifty years ago my brother-in-law taught me how to drive his 1921 quarter ton model T truck. This really took me back. Thank you.
Hi guys, i think Grumpy is going to love taking it for a spin.
Ethan is 🫅!
Off roading that old car first thing ! 😂😂
I love how I went through CDL school and have been driving for well over a year and nobody has explained the clutch brake to me. Not to mention I'm driving a dump truck and nobody even suggested I use the clutch to engage the pto until roughly 6 months ago 😢 as to which one I would chose depends strongly on whether or not the jeep still has a blown front diff
Grumpy would have loved this!
Ethan, great job! Ya, learn something every day! Casey, you are a great instructor!😊
You need to look up "Galloping Goose". They were a model T or A school bus that was converted to use on mountain railroad tracks. Used a lot in Colorado mining communities to haul supplies, people, and the mail. Several are in museums.
Just think of the look on some ones face if you pulled up to recover a stuck vehicle. You could leave that car in a high theft area and no one would drive it away, theft protection built in. Great video thanks for sharing.
That was a fun trip in the past. Thanks for the shows Casey.
Well done Ethan. You have a great teacher who is patient and fun to be around
“Teaching Ian how to do new things” 😂 genius idea for videos.
FYI Ethan 😁
Thanks for the catch I didn’t even notice it.
You're a hell of a teacher. Watching you teach Ethan is fun. I recently used knowledge gained from this channel to unstick a Hino 700 at the worksite next door to the office that got its front drive axle in the air. I have no idea where the power divider switch is in a Hino... but I do know how to chock a wheel...
Perfect car for you…no chrome to polish 😎
Interesting , Thank You . Good luck finding a worthy Model A or T . Using the horse trailer to store garbage , good idea . Using the Zack lift to unload into dump trailer, tool for job. Teaching Ethan how to drive and operate Zack lift , Brilliant.
Thank you for teaching him about the clutch brake! Now is he going to get his CDL with the flatbed or the wrecker?
Ethan! Good job bud. There’s a lot more to driving a full manual semi than most individuals are capable of these days. You did a good damn job for your first time lol.
It’s the first “Self-Driving”
No rider input required after it’s in motion
@nemesis851_ The Baker electric car has questions on that one. A simple lever did the brake, reverse and forward power.
Trail Mater is building Robbie Layton a model T wrecker
Rory and team are great !
It is a Model "A A" that Rory is building for Robbie. Small differences between the AA & the TT
That car is sweet. Must be a trip driving something that old
Look at young master Ethaniel learning the mysterious ways of the wheels!👍🏼
Funny how car makers have spent decades trying to recreate that mix of fun, function, and thrill that the earliest cars offered, and yet have never truely equaled it.
So stinkin' jealous right now! How freaking cool is that !?!?!
Driving was definitely an art form back in the day!
And such a privilege!
This makes up for no track IMO. I’d love to see one of these made into a recovery rig for outings with the club! Something tells me you don’t want this to remind you of work though.
But imagine the DOT having to handle a 100 year old vehicle as a commercial vehicle 😂
FORD MODEL T TRACK TRUCK!!! :) There are photos of model T's with skis on the front, a dual axel rear and tracks over the rear tires. Not new builds but original from long ago. I don't know if they were Farmer builds or some commercial after-market kits, but sure are fascinating! Whatever you decide to buy it is going to be 100% cool to watch it. Oh and hey, when Riley is old enough to learn how to drive ??? Something to think about! :)
awesome thanks buddy
Watching Ethan learn to drive the Western Star reminded me when I learned how to drive a quint axle dump truck. He did great!
I think it's a great idea teaching Ethan how to operate the heavy wrecker front to back. That ability could come in great play if the need arises. Fun video, loved watching you guys drive those vehicles and the owner is a great guy, as are all those guys in the video of them and their vehicles. Great to see sheetrock Grumpy as well.
Another great video of two great guys having fun and getting chores done. Stay safe and GOD bless
The old model T and A were cool. Maybe you can find a person who wants to swap the bus for the horse trailer.
Then where is he going to put his garbage?!
@@kentkirkpatrick7953 in the bus!
@wendy833 True, However he wants the bus for training purposes. So it being full of trash would be problematic! Plus, He's not in Portland so he has no need to practice that scenario! Hahaha!
@@kentkirkpatrick7953 😉, I was being sarcastic.
@wendy833 Ohh gotcha! Sarcasm doesn't show very well in text! But comments help Casey so it's a good thing! Hahaha
The first Model T we bought, we didn't have someone to show us how to drive it and we didn't know anything about the transmission or how it worked. We learned fast! It's so much fun watching someone learn how to drive them. That one looks about the same condition as one of mine. Very cool car!
Somehow was picturing the slowest collision ever as the rig slowly t bones the trailer. Awesome you two can be learning us stuff and in good humor despite the stress of just doing anything the first time. You will be Casey Jr with your own we hate Ethan T shirt line in no time!
This is the perfect example of big toys equals big fun. 😂😂 thanks for the amazing content, an always a good laugh on days that are hard to.
I love my 26 model T. They will go nearly anywhere. I’m located in Eugene if you ever want to come drive it.
Nothing like a Good training day. Keep us up to date on the model T .
Merlin's old school garage purchased a ton of model T parts. By the way, Merlin is the cousin of Paul from Fab Rats.
You don't say!
Never a dull moment on your videos.
I am currently building a 1924 ford model T 4 door sedan with a 2024 2.3L Ecoboost from a mustang with it's 10 speed automatic transmission. The car is 100 years old and it will be a practical daily driver with a 4 cylinder ford power train that is exactly 100 years newer. The car is going to be as stock appearing as possible inside and out. The car is getting modern heating and air conditioning and it will be mounted under the car with vents hidden throughout the interior. Everything will be controlled from a hide away touch screen. It has power door locks, keyless entry and power windows. I am using a 2024 Ford key fob and I still need to find a company to make a custom housing for it using the vintage ford logo and model t insignia. People are going to trip out when they see it passing them at 80+ mph on the freeway on a hot summer day with all the windows rolled up.
You forgot to move the ignition key to magneto from the battery, as the battery is only for trying to start the engine.
A guy at a previous company used to daily drive a Model T. On local roads, it kept up fine with rush hour traffic. He said parts were still easy to find and cheap since they made 15 million of them.
I think Ethan was thinking that the clutch brake would hold the truck. I remember when I was first learning to drive big rigs. Lots to learn and remember. 20 years later it’s kind of like breathing lol! Each truck is a bit different though and they have their own quirks. Luckily I got to drive the same truck most of my career.
Great episode. Love watching you guys do stuff!
Ethan, for me my first lesson was 1973 at night in the rain in a 1966 Autocar with a 5 x 4 tranny. The boss would scream at me every time I ground the gears. Philomath, Oregon.
Oh I love that truck
Good morning. Hope you find one.
First time I ever drove a truck was interesting. I had answered an add to drive a harvester in Medicine Hatt A.B. I met the guy in a pub and drove to a farm. I then drove a combine for the first time for about 20 miles, taking up the whole road. When I got to the farm, I was told to jump into an extended dump truck towing a feeder for the harvester. With zero experience and no class 1 I was told to drive to another town. Shifting up was ok, but double clutching was difficult when down shifting. To make things worse, there were 3 of us in the cab with my new boss screaming and cursing as I struggled to get the truck into gear. Casey didn't seem too bad.
Geologist J Harlen Bretz drive around countryside of eastern Washington during the 1920s looking at ice age flood deposits. He probably drove similar vehicles.
I can mention some videos of a 17 year old girl in Montana learning to drive a grain truck that is full of wheat on I-15. Dad is teaching her. He has no cdl.
Farm trucks dont generally need a cdl. As long as they are not for hire!
50 some years ago, I learned on an old 2 1/2 ton farm truck hauling hay back and forth from the field! I was either 12 or 13 at the time.
As soon as I had my learners permit, I was driving that truck hauling grain to the elevator.
I would LOVE to have an oldy like that!!! My oldest I`ve owned was my 57 Ford Stepside... Awesome truck!!!
Love the way you are so encouraging to Ethan, like a big brother. No idea what he did before, but training someone who is so engaged in a real trade can only be a really good thing for both of you. Also never knew how complicated it is to drive a big truck, always just assumed it was like driving a pick up, just more gears and air brakes. Typical of this channel, I learn something from every video.
"Most random video ever"..
But it was AWESOME
Model A's and T's.. Ethan learning operations and driving the heavy wrecker..
OH MY
You can't beat those views of the mountains... gorgeous
you guys look sooo hilarious in those hats n goggles
Great job ETHAN!😎🤘🏻
I still have my grandfather's skullcap and goggles that he used when he piloted his Jenny back in the 30's and 40's.
Driving the old car, stress relief
Remember that you annoy more people by repeatedly tapping the idle up button
Casey takin’ out the trash. Epic!
Good job ethan! Im sure you were quite nervous but you got a great encouraging community here!
Hi Casey you said you wanted one of those model T's now Merlin's Old School Garage who was at the at the tow truck match tow truck games he has parts for model A's model T's and those just about everything about them the man is amazing with just about anything he does or works on so if you need any advice he would be the man to go to
Interesting mix of content, & chuckles all along! Thanx !
My dad was born in 1913 and learned to drive in a T, but by the time I was old enough to notice, all the T's had been turned into dirt track race cars with flathead V8's, so I never had a chance to drive one. I kinda sorta know the basics, but I think I'd be a mess.
Fun watching you teach Ethan! Reminds me of around 1980 when I spent two summers working for a moving company and learned to drive 10 speed and 13 speed semi's. I seriously loved driving the 13 speeds with no clutch other than starting from a dead stop. Recently have watched youtube videos about 13 and 18 speeds, and my memory of them is accurate.
Good on you Ethan! Learning and expanding your knowledge!
Company training while getting out of doing the chores. Smart move.
Check with Heavy D. about a used bus. He bought a bunch of them.
Casey, Ethan thank you both of you had me in stitches with the Model T driving or not 😂.
Good job teaching
My very first vehicle back in 1976 was a 1929 Ford Model A Pickup truck just like the one here in the video. Everybody at school wanted to ride with me. It was unbelievable fun. Every cop in town knew me then too usually because they wanted to learn about the truck. Wish I had it now. I eventually sold it and bought a Model AA 1 1/2 ton dually truck. That one was tough as nails and it rode like a brick.
Casey, it's good for you to show Ethan how to use the heavy lift truck. If something unfortunate happens to you he'll be a great backup to take care of you and the truck.
4 Runner, It has 4 wheel Drive that works🤣🤣If i am not mistaken The S10/Jeep It was the Jeep part that broke and it was a Toyota that towed you out ! Just had to remind you ! 🤣🤣
I have a 1928 Buick Business Coupe. A beautiful old car that runs like a sowing machine.
I like the random / learning video's!
My first ten years of HGV driving was in a wide variety of lorries with various gearboxes, doing agency driving you turn up at a company and they are going to give you the oldest vehicle in the fleet, when you get in the cab you just hope the gearstick still has the shift pattern on it, when you go to pull away you try to find the clutch point without stalling, the day you think you know it all is the day to hang up your keys. Good luck Ethan it is a great job to do.
To answer the question about releasing the brake... NO, always keep your foot on the brake until the truck starts moving, just enough to keep the truck from rolling backwards/forwards when you don't want it to, then release the brake! Treat it like you are ALWAYS on hill, because the added weight that you have will start moving rather quickly.
Good job Ethan 👏 👍.
Running the winches, boom and driving all in 1 episode..
From model A to model T to semi truck.
I've never met Dennis before but he's gotta be one of my favorite people in this whole world.
8:38 is an amazing shot - if you could just have the car and the mountains in the background - it's like looking at MGM !
Today I learned about clutch brakes. Now when I one day have to jump in a semi-truck without the benefit of any instruction whatsoever, I am slightly less likely to fuck it up.
Rube Goldberg might approve of your trash system.
Around 12 minutes: When you have a Zacklift, everything needs lifted.
You made it too easy. I was directing a friend to a fuel station when he got frustrated and told me to drive an International cabover on narrow city streets. I protested to no avail and found myself having to keep the tractor between the lines and shifting a 13-speed at the same time. The third time through I got the transmission, but shifting without a clutch was an experience.
My cousin has a 1920s model T truck that was made in Canada. It spent most of its life inside a mens clothing store. It runs and still has the wood wheels. The reason I know it was made in Canada is that the word Canada is on the radiator cap on the running boards on the engine block and on the tail gate.
Good job Ethan! You did great for your first time! Casey never said he was good at this! 😂😉
Great episode Casey! You better know how lucky you are to be training Ethan. I trained a couple dozen crane operators (for a big aircraft manufacturer up north of you) and having someone with intelligence and the right temperament is a huge plus! Very different, but very similar.
Worlds biggest Tonka Truck! 🙂
Seriously Casey you might even want to check with Merlin's Old School Garage just because he might have something with running in good condition so you might want to check in on that bud he even knows how to hot rod is 4 cylinders so have a great and blessed day
Omg! Dennis and I were roommates back in 74. Tell him bonzo sends greetings. Good to see him.
Small world!
Bonzo, It's good to see your still alive and I hope well.
