I don’t know much about the Ruckstell, I’ve never driven one. What I was told was the Ruckstell geared it down so The T could have enough power to make it through he mud and up steep hills. Maybe there was a Ruckstell that geared it up too? Here is also a three speed add on transmission that goes behind the regular transmission that was used on the TT trucks. He owner of the T coupe I am working on has a TT with that transmission setup. He said the dangerous part about the three speed was its effect on braking. The T’s brake was in the transmission and if the three speed was in neutral it had no brakes at the pedal but the emergency brakes lever should be pulled if the driver had the presence of mind to do so.
With almost any old car or tractor the labor bill from a restoration can eat up the value of the vehicle real quick. A complete wood kit for a T coupe up until 1925 is in the $3700 range. Then you pile the labor on top of that.
