This was a treat! Oh, the old TT is wonderful, especially preserved in its original farm condition, but it's our host who steals the show. What a friendly, welcoming delivery. His amiable hospitality and humble tone makes for a captivating watch. I have been in love with TT's my whole life but have never owned one, and it's the inviting personality of this man that makes me feel like it's almost my truck. Thank you for drawing us all in to your auction treasure and sharing the story behind it with us. I will look forward to your next screening.

I"m really happy to know you were able to save this old truck. But it's sad the family was selling off the family farm. We are loosing way too many family farms these days.

@unconventionalideas5683 2 ай бұрын

That's true. There are real efforts to revive and maintain them, but a lot of families simply are no longer interested, partially because of how difficult it is to maintain a going profit but also because of many people simply do not appreciate the trade. Farming at that level is very much a labor of love and devotion. Not everyone is up for it.

I have a '26 TT. Its all steel cab was cut down so it would fit under trees in orchards. Mine is a flatbed for hauling fruit crates. I did get it running, but haven't been able to restore it. I am the second owner and bought it locally. Mine has a two speed rear end, plus an auxillary Chicago transmission, so I have two shifters. I haven't yet learned how to drive it utilizing the additional gears.

@oldmodeltguy Жыл бұрын

Sounds nice. The auxiliary trans is tough to shift on the fly since its non-synchro. I just pick a gear before I start and stick with it rather than trying to bang shift.

wanted to reach out to you in regards to this truck & a Project I am working on. You se, I don't see that is ( legally blind ) or not as good as a modern driver should. I plan to give up my driving license when it comes due next, & with my age my back has been all but gone for some time. So knowing what my future holds I have found a very nice Afikim C4 handicapped mobility scooter . It is mint for both inside & outdoors use. It isn't the most beautiful buggy , So the crazy idea of customizing it to look like a TT C Cab came to mind. And I am in the process of designing, obtaining materials, & getting to know these trucks inside & out as best I can. Hens my comment. I was a customizer from back in the day during the mini P.U. & Van days so I'm not a total newbie. I chose the CCab design 1rst as a ode to the hot rod era 2nd because with that curved top & split body lines it will give me the lines I need to have a couple needed custom features I need. by doing the headliner of that curved top I can include a set of tracks for a set of progressively darker tinted plexi glass windshield & side sunshade set up. then with the body split just behind the cab I can include a custom trick that will allow me to have a detachable cab & front from a stand alone rear box & Carrie axle or axles not sure just yet. I will accomplish the removable back box by useing a standard size grocery cart to form the base structure .By backing the scooter up to what is the rear or handhold end of the G. cart & using the accessories mounting point, I can get either design. to the G. cart I will add body panels, interior panels, light extinctions, rear doors, as well as bicycle wheels, so anyway when I get it done I'd like to build a custome Mobility scooter club so I can offer older folks a added activity to get us out for some fun & air, maybe set up roard trips for charity, I've just startted a non profit to buy, refurbish & re home used mobility scooters for low income people The " Friendly and Thrifty Mobility" we just set up a F.B. page to get the word out & provide a contact point for potential clients, scooter sellers, scooter donator's friends with Ideas. Any advice or ideas you might have to offer will be received gratefully. feel free to reach out.

@oldmodeltguy 3 ай бұрын

Well, I certainly see potential out there. We all age and many of us reach that point when we can no longer enjoy our cars in the same way. I've seen my share of modified scooters and golf cars moving around at shows and swap meets over the years. Heck, I've even got a late 1950's Cushman Minute Miser in the barn waiting for the time to work on it. I would contact the major club sites and see if they can sent the word out to members the your group exists . Feel free to reply to this with the link to your Facebook group in case anyone reading here is interested.

Hello! I have 2 questions about the truck. 1. Can we see it running? 2. Do you plan on modifying the truck with more electrical stuff? Also, the fact that the magneto is the only thing that powers it reminds me of a moped that i own myself. It's a Tomos Automatik A3 ML. The model that i own was Made in Yugoslavia in 1987, still runs with most original parts. It runs a headlight, taillight, brake light and a horn all with a magneto. Fascinating machine, i still like to drive it from time to time. I really didn't know much about the Model T's, only minimal stuff. Hopefully i can see more videos about this truck!

@oldmodeltguy 2 жыл бұрын

I’ll try and incorporate shots of it driving in future videos. I probably won’t be adding additional electrical equipment to it, I want to keep it as original as possible. Sounds like an interesting moped

@sandish0 2 жыл бұрын

@@oldmodeltguy The moped is kind of intresting, because the model that i own, Model Lux, has chrome fenders and two speeds. Also, it had a aftermarket ignition coil made by CEV from some chainsaw or some other moped, which was more powerful than the standard ones. It has the original red paint and stickers. Only thing is, the original fuel tank is on the chasis of the moped, so rust inside the tank is a pain in the rear, and it's hard to get rid of. That's all the info i can tell you about it. If you need more info about these old Yugoslav classics, ill pop up in the comments to tell you about it. As far as i know, it's not well documented in the US, but it was exported there!

I’ve always been curious about the worm drive rear end. Generally, in any worm drive mechanism, the worm drives the wheel but the wheel can’t drive the worm unless the gear angle is at least 45 degrees, which I wouldn’t think practical. Therefore, a TT with worm drive won’t roll, not by gravity nor can it be pushed to crank. All of which makes that weak parking brake a moot point, you could conceivably stop on the steepest hill and it not roll. Or am I wrong about this?

@oldmodeltguy 3 ай бұрын

Not certain about the worm mechanics you mentioned, but I will say that I've never had any difficulty pushing or pulling the truck when it was in neutral. Early on, when I first got the truck, I was working on the engine and towed it around the yard in gear quite a bit to get it to start. (turned out most of the problem was a rust hole in the vaporizer plate, rebuilt the carb and it starts like a dream (most of the time))

@oldmodeltguy 3 ай бұрын

Add to my last comment, my usual way of taking it off the trailer is to get in in put it in neutral, then have someone give is a little shove. As soon as the back wheels hit the slope near the back of the trailer, it rolls right off. Much easier than cranking it up on the trailer.

@sparkplug0000 3 ай бұрын

@@oldmodeltguy thank you for clearing that up for me! As I mentioned, I have always wondered about it and while I’ve run across several Model T’s at car shows, I’ve never had the pleasure of seeing a TT and talking to the owner. What a great truck you have there.
