Default OT: It's the simple things that often bring a smile to our face....

While this features a Model-T "going to work", it could have just as easily been a Model-A instead. Enjoy.....

Great video, thanks. I'm confused. My '25 T pick up requires me to get in from the right side, not the left. Bill

Cool video, thanks for sharing. I assume you used a bigger truck to move to your new building!

Not OT at all. A very nice little film and remembrance.

Safety glasses would be a good idea for starters!

What a great video.

The terrain looks exactly like ours at the foot of Pikes Peak. This inspires me to get the truck out into the back country, after the snow clears.

Thanks for sharing!

Neat video. We still have the old buzz saw, and belt, that was mounted on the front of our IH A tractor. Dad and I cut many hedge posts into firewood. The tractor is long gone and have never missed it, surprised I made it through my teen years having used that thing for work.

That video was shot in Canada. Canadian model Ts had a left door.

Real nice. Also real safe. I hope he does not get his paints in to the belt or his fingers in the saw blade.

I like the contrast with the background "modern" traffic, just when he starts backing at about 1:30.

Nice! But why remove the belt from the pulley?

He is keeping it out of the weather. Leaving it out in the weather would be hard on the belt.

I also enjoyed the video. Thanks Brent.

FYI: Just a guess, but removing the belt from the pulley may offer less resistance, needed when starting the motor.

I thought removing the belt was a safety feature.
