When you are driving along at speed and then put the Model T in neutral, so that it's coasting...the engine is turning but the rear wheels still going at speed, and this does not hurt the car?

Can't we flat tow the Model T in neutral with the engine running?

Yes. & you can tow in gear with the spark plugs removed.
The point is the engine needs to keep moving/splashing oil into the bearings.

"Coasting" in "neutral" will do no harm, AS LONG AS THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. There's no point to it though, unless you want to go very fast down a very steep hill.... which is a very bad idea. The Model T does not have a ball bearing throw out bearing... just a little fork-like thing. I don't think it was designed to be held in "neutral" for extended periods with the engine running.
