    I always thought the model T ford was a very primative machine, i have changed my mind , it actualy had some very inovative remarkable engineering.

    I love the way Eric's spanners lock onto bolts and nuts. People who have only used a "crescent" wrench cannot imagine how good they are....

    Looking good! You lucked out on the spring perches - usually they are frozen into the axle. If you haven't already, wire the two wishbone ball joint nuts together, if you use cotter pins the studs can still back out of the pan socket. Same thing for the two universal ball joint bolts that thread into blind holes, safety wire them together.

    I noticed on the passenger side front wheel, the hub threads are lefthanded. Could drive you crazy if not careful. BTW, Chrysler for the longest time had lefthanded threads on both wheel lugs on the right side of the cars. You had to be careful that you didn't mix up the lug nuts. haha

    This project is so fascinating, Jared! I don’t know how you can do this. There’s no recommendation on torque settings, etc. Absolutely old school and “lost” technology. Crossing my fingers that the magneto works perfectly.

When I saw it last I remember it having a rag top 2 door model T . Maybe if its still around wonder if He would sell it . I was told not to tell anyone about it for who knows why.

    Is it possible the spindles are reversed? I thought the left handed thread should be on the left side so the rotation would tend to tighten the nut not loosen. Just sayin'.

    • @Jerod_Helt
      @Jerod_Helt  3 роки тому +2

      Good eye! I noticed that too when I watched it back. I’ll have to check to see if they can be reversed 👍

    • @Jerod_Helt
      @Jerod_Helt  3 роки тому +1

      I looked into it and the spindles are correct as they are. On a model T you want them to work them self loose not tight. The cotter pin prevents them from getting too loose. If they are the other way around then they can become too tight and lock up the wheel. Another example of how a model T is different from every other car I’ve worked on.

    Did you safety wire the mounting studs for the radius rod ball cap? Cotter pins will keep the nuts and springs on the studs, but the studs can/will vibrate out of the pan mounting. Be sure to safety wire the 2 studs together.

    I’m interested in getting a 1926 Model T project car. However, the owner put in a front leaf suspension that wasn’t long enough, and they made some extra long shackles for it. The model T now sits lopsided because of it.
    Do you know where one could get the correct front leaf springs?

    An axle suspended with nothing but a single leaf spring.
    Suppose with the featherweight of the Model T compared to later cars that you can get away with that, but I can't say that I expected the front suspension to be this simple
    Oh and by the way, what are the gear/gears on the front axle for? I seem to remember this car never had front brakes so it couldn't be that

    • @Jerod_Helt
      @Jerod_Helt  Рік тому +2

      The gears are actually wooden and they’re for an aftermarket speedometer. I don’t have the cable hooked up but the gauge is still in the dash.

      The aftermarket pretty much began with the Model T.
      These cars have been modified so many different times and ways, if that's your bent, it's almost hard to come up with something new.
