  1. Don't fool yourself and your family into believing that your car is an "investment". You will put far more money into it than you will ever get out of it. It is a fun hobby that can be quite expensive when the time comes to actually sell the car for its true market value, or for when your heirs sell the car for its actual market value and you or they find that the selling price is only get a fraction of what you put into it or even what you had it appraised for. If you want an investment, go find some good stocks or bonds or such. If you want an expensive but loads of fun hobby - buy an old car and fix it up.

    Everyone needs to print this out & be sure your "significant other".........or children.......read it!!

  2. Perhap's it's from a small Alco "yard" or "pusher" engine?

    I have a 1913 Alco car catalogue and there's nothing remotely similar (including logo) to this engine........

    By the way, in 1913 Alco bragged they were the most expensive auto in America!

  3. You could have the other axle welded. My Grandfather broke an axle in 1949 and had it hammer welded by an old prairie blacksmith, It is still in the car (which now has 499,000 miles on it) and runs straight and true. The axle has outlasted three crown and pinions.

    Amazing!
