Model T front axle
I have a model T front axle from a 1917 touring car that has been sitting in my shed for a number of years.
Just wondering what the going rate is, if I were to sell it? Thank you in advance. |

Re: Model T front axle
This is one of the parts that about any one with model T's have at least 3 or 4. If the axel is in perfect condition, with good threads and good spring perches with good threads and bushings, it might be worth $50.oo. If not it might be worth $5.oo. Shipping might cost more than the value of the axel.

Make a small trailer with it and put it to use!

Re: Model T front axle
Thank you for your replies. The three Model T front axles are going to the scrap yard.

Re: Model T front axle
While what has been said is true for the most part, the early front axles are worth more. Can you post a photo of the spindle ends to about the spring perch hole? Also look for "DB" as part of the forging in the channel.

Re: Model T front axle
why not just advertise them for FREE...recipient pays shipping, or give them to a Model T buddy to give away at the next swap meet in your area.
or put them on Craigslist for free. I just hate to see any original parts scrapped. Nothing like an original part. |

Re: Model T front axle
Jim donate them to a vocational auto class, when I took the engine & automotive class @ the spring point SMVTI one of the first steering and front end topics was the Ackerman type front axle.
What about some need through your local Model T club? |

Re: Model T front axle
Please try one of the other options before scrapping. I'd even like to have on to make a trailer if we could work out a deal

Re: Model T front axle
I'd want them. But i'm no where near you. They don't make them anymore and i can't get any.

Re: Model T front axle
Wow, I need a good straight front axle. Every one I see at a swap meet is twisted like a licorice stick, but I am in NY

Re: Model T front axle
Ford started to have the Ford script on axles in 1919. There is typically also a maker's mark like TW for Transue Williams as an example.

Re: Model T front axle
I'm thinking about making a bench for my yard out of unusable T parts.
Three axles is a good start. I have a two piece crank, bent rods, wishbones and a lot of other rusty stuff. |
