I recently bought this old T fairground racer from a collector's estate, in which is stayed at least 62 years. There is not pedigree for this car, as most homebrews were used up and left in fields to rot. More pics in my profile.
Often these cars were assembled with parts from various years, as is this one;
- 1920 chassis and motor
- 1913-1915 hogshead
- Rajo C-35 overhead valve head (1925-1927) with original intake/exhaust manifold
- Brass radiator (1912-1916)
- Early cast-iron Warford auxiliary transmission
- Ruckstell transaxle.
- Rocky Mountain-style brakes
- Ford 9N tractor hairpins
- Hayes demountable wirewheels
- Wooden buckboard body
- Stock steering
- Stewart speedo and oil gauge
- Stock gas tank
- 1931-1939 Bosch high-tension magneto from Autocar, J.D. Adams, or IHC heavy machine
- Pressurized lubrication
- 'A' crank or drilled 'T' crank -- haven't cracked it open yet
This car runs like a dream.
