many years ago, I was in contact with someone who had some really tall rear gears for a Model T, for use towing in hilly country. The ratio was 5-ish, don't remember now. I copied it, and will look through my "archives". If anybody has info on anything like that, please let me know. thanks

Back when,they made 5:1 and 6:1 gears. Would love to see a set of those.

Don't have any, but are you talking about TT or T? Without a Ruckstell or such, that would be real slow in low.

I am referring to the T, not the TT. Not sure if any other types of gears will work in a T rear end. Some food for thought.
