Model T Ford Forum: Forum 2012: TT High-Speed Gears

A year or 2 ago, Mike Hartman made several sets of high-speed rear gears for TT's. He sold out of those some time ago, but he has just made another run of them. His ad is in the Classified section of this website. I know some of you go directly to the Forum without reading the Classifieds, so I'm mentioning this here as a public service. :-)

What kind of speed can you expect if this is installed? I seem to recall top speed around 25 MPH for a TT with a stock engine.

Amazingly the first run were 600.00, now on the MTFCI site they are 1600.00 plus why?

I get 25 mph from my 7.25:1's. I would expect closer to 35 from a set of 5.17:1's.

Price of everything is going way up. My tool maker told me 3 months ago that the scrap price for carbide tools was over $5.00 lb here. He can not get the stuff. Dan

It's too bad the idea I had when this first came up was not pursued. I would have been very happy to pay 70/80% over the original price to have a new ratio made, say 4.10 to 4.60 to one. With this size and over size tires the truck would then be close to a stock pass car. No need for on overdrive transmission.

The price of everything has gone up as wages and employment go down. It is a double dip recession with no plan to fix it within the current regime.

Remember, your vote this November counts.

Not much over a year ago, the orange juice I buy was about three dollars for 64 ounces. Now, it is five dollars for 59 ounces. Quality toilet paper was eight dollars for 24 large rolls. Now the same brands are fifteen dollars for 24 rolls of much worse quality. I could go on for a dozen items. My wages are the same as they were nearly two years ago.
I am sorry, I really don't like to rant on this site that much. But it does need to be thought about, and talked about.
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2

Wayne - while you're ranting, consider what ethanol has done to the corn prices - through the roof. Well, maybe not that much, but still very good. High corn prices = high bean prices. Both of these high = high meat prices. High meat prices = higher food prices in general. It really "ain't" to hard to figure out - if you want to look at the facts and not the media's spin on everything.

When you vote in December, remember who caused this mess, bailed out the greedy banks, and bogged us down in two wars in the middle east.

Sorry to be political, not really, but at least I didn't start it.

Ted - if you wait until December, it will be to late! :-)

If you are for Romney drive with your lights on in the daytime.

If you are for Obummer, drive with your light off at night.

Quoting our dear Governor Perry, "OOPS!"

Thanks , I will try to be a little more prompt.

Ted
