Did Model Ts ever get self starters? If so when? Was it an option? How did they engage the engine to start? My dad remembers that some Ts had 'Hotshot Batteries' that would turn the engine over if the flywheel was in the right position.
Also did the engine and transmission share oil and did the housings bolt together and seal with a gasket etc.
Dad said the my grandfather bought a new T in 1921 and later had a 1927 model that is the first one he remembers. They got a Model A Ford in the mid 1930s. Dad was born in 1925.
I figure there must be several with T model knowledge on this forum or maybe one of the others.
Thanks, as always.
