Here is a Bosch DU4 set up for a 1917 White car........its the best option for any four banger magneto.

#1 Proves you're not too smart..... #2 Proves even more you're not too smart. #3 It's not possible for me to think you're a bigger idiot than I already do..........😇 #4 There is such a thing as a hand held belt sander.

I fix all of AJ's cars......yet he won't let me help him with the goats. I grew up in a town that's 70 percent Portuguese .......all a goat needs is butter, garlic, and a nice spit. Good eating!

I'm a nit wit? At least I don't have a goat shed that is heated and air conditioned. City Farmer! 😂

It's closer to 3/4.

Impossible.........worth it when new, but impossible. I would be surprised at anything over 8k.

Yup, but the goats are warm and toasty! 😛

I think Peter donated the car with the provisions that it be used and shown. Which it was fairly active till the failure. I think it was just a convenient excuse. Peter’s grand son recently died from Covid if I am not mistaken.......he runs the website dedicated to his grandfather. I’m guessing it will now fade away.

Is it electrical? Looks like a transmission lock out to me. 🤔

Fun reading for you...........

Im guessing it doesn’t have a starter from the factory, but adding them later was common. That was a very expensive truck when new........very expensive. You family must have had a successful business. Any early photos? What did it have for a body when new? That’s the correct carb for the truck. It’s a 45 horsepower model. Should have a four speed trans.......with the usual weird shifting pattern.......Dandy Dave where are you?

Nice truck........looks like a 3/4 ton unit. Rare and unusual.

It was certainly a special.......one of the most unusual cars I had ever seen as a youngster. My guess is that It was an earlier chassis with a 1928 body on it. Sold new in Connecticut as memory serves me. The entire car was bespoke. Owned by a world class collector who has passed on. He only had fantastic stuff.....a 90 hp Simplex was parked next to it.

Also please post the serial numbers and the chassis length, as well as the tonnage if you know it.

Number 7 may be the missing Loco Floyd Durham car with the custom radiator with the large S on the front shell. It’s been forty years since I have seen it. I think it’s a 1928.

No parts are available for the Zenith but they only need fiber washers.....otherwise they are 100 percent serviceable.

Due to the war they switched over to American Bosch and dumped Eisemann in mid 1916. The published information in the catalog was still listed as Eisemann in 1917 but from my research they were all Bosch DU4 units. White made their own carburetor as well as using the Zenith White unit.....one just sold here last month and Dandy Dave bought it. Post a photo of your machine and under hood please.

Ponce De Leon’s water from the fountain of youth is rather brackish........this water was the best, the best tasting water on the planet......no better.....good stuff! 🤪 It was delicious! Best I ever had......and I have had them all!

Over the years I have learned how to get into a lot of events by “helping out” other collectors. I refuse to pay to get into any of the big shows.......since I usually drive a car on the show field at 6am no one is checking that early. The Cavallino show today was 475 per person.......if I didn’t want to eat the lunch I wouldn’t have needed any passes or tickets........so I could have been in and out for free.........knowing the system makes working around it easy. That said, we were displaying a car and thus you receive two tickets for no charge.

Today sets will run 5-7k each for a single one off set. Multiples will be less.........last I knew the most popular places that have been doing them for years are all closed. It’s not getting easier today.

The upper Bakelite unit, or the lower electrical clum switch?

Not sure......I won’t and don’t pay. Last week at the CCCA dinner it was fillet mignon and lobster tail for 350.....basically decent hotel banquet food. 3600 gets you more than dinner......but not much more. Interesting crowd and people watching was fun.

One could guess, the Donald does as he pleases...........😉

Donald brought his car……

The photos I posted were taken at 8 AM. Ticket to get into the Cavallino is 3600. It was sold out. As was sports car Sunday. Participation looks identical to me for the last five years.
