For some reason nothing is ever said about the Ford family before Henry. I have been aware of him for over 50 years and do not know if he had siblings, just assumed that since he was from the Dearborn area he was born and raised on a farm with only basic education. Who were his parents?
Back in 1896; there were some who looked at this as an "interesting" if woefully impractical toy, and there were others who saw its potential to revolutionize the world. With the benefit of 127 odd years of hindsight, guess which group was correct.
You can really guess the age of a car if you have to spin the flywheel to get it started! Those are some neat oilers! Are those custom made spark plugs????
Beautiful, Beautiful workmanship. I would love to build a 1/2 scale model of the engine. Would you mind sharing the bore and stroke of this engine, as well as the flywheel diameter? Thx & Rgds... Chuck
The quadracycle had no brakes. So one of the first things Ford learned from building this vehicle was that you probably needed brakes in order to stop. He learned a lot from building this vehicle first!
Damn, more than 120 years of excellent engineering. Ford must have been a genius from a family of geniuses. 🤔

@@rogerc.roberts4705 in the autobiography it is sad that the parents were farmers.

El principio de todo un imperio y de una revolución.
Well done video. For a gearhead like me, no commentary was needed.
One of the neatest things I've ever seen run
A beautiful machine! I really like the sound!
Middle East have a bad sieves with ford I respect and love ford technology
max 4 ps
Como esse vídeo não tem milhões de visualização. Enry Ford era um gênio. Por isso a Ford é o q e hoje em dia
It looks like there are some off-the-shelf plumbing parts used on that engine.
Interesting use of gate valves for the atmospheric intake valves.
Wonderful to see; thank you so much. : = }}
lovely footage..detail engine is good
Wonderfull! I love the simplicity of these early engines. I take it it's using trembler coil ignition?
Ten years after Benz!
@PerezEngines well its only suppose to go 20 with a 4hp engine and a 2 gear system

As i listen to this for idk,, more than once,,, my mind drifts to Top fuel or NOS on a turbo.. or maybe, a '04 Marauder 😊

Just to keep it local I think these quys will next have to build an early Hispano-Suiza. :-)

Its made in Gamonal City
Excellent video, could you tell me where you got the plans? I would like to build one for myself, thanks and greetings from Argentina.
@Scottdude21 at the rate we're going I sure hope so, this will be all we can afford to drive...

I think that if they put vertical direction is better more. Nowadays I watch the cars like that make sense.
nice running engine. is it possible to get more info about the carbutator (simple drawing). i am building it in scale 1/6. txs.
@Scottdude21 Sure- as long as it has "antique vehicle" plates and 'slow moving vehicle' reflectors lol
25 mph
So nise
So whats the MPG on this bad boy
Where were the brakes and how did it operate????
It doesn't have brakes
10 years after Karl Benz
Sometimes I wish the development of the car stopped at this level.
where can I get directions/plans to build one?
how much would it cost?
is this allowed on roads?

No smoke
Not double clutchin like you should
Радиатора ни где не видно
