Great video! Brought back memories of first start of my 28 Fordor I had in high school. Going through all the systems was a good idea, especially dropping that pan.

To me it looks like the truck has had a nice restoration and to have that much sludge in the oil pan it has been neglected for a long time.I really enjoy watching Your videos.mike

I assume the engine is no different than the one in passenger cars--so any needed parts should be easy to come by

Yep, identical engines, just lower gearing in the transmission and differential.

Back in 1973, right after college, a friend found an AA dump in upstate CT--$150 and he drove it 70 miles home!--I used it after cutting up trees after a storm-- with a ton of green wood and hills, those mechanical brakes were awful! Wondered what happened to the truck
@FlatheadTerry
Жыл бұрын
WoW. Thats quite the adventure. I can attest that the mechanical brakes are scary in these modern times. The good news is its' geared so low I never go above 35 mph with it. I always start braking well in advance so I don't destroy the plastic modern cars with its "I Beam" front bumper.🤪🤪

Actually, I pulled the Choke a few momentary times before and then I pulled it and held it until it fired. Cut me some slack, this is my first time starting a Model A engine ever.
