In need of an engine made by the Diamond Engine Works Co of Minneapolis, MN. This is a large 70 horse power 4 cyl engine made around 1910-1912 for the American Gas Tractor. Diamond also built these engines for powering saw mills, pumping stations, electric plants, hoists, shovels and dredges. A smaller version of these engines were sold for use in large hauling trucks. The engine looks a lot like a Holt 75 crawler engine except the intake and exhaust are on opposite sides. It is likely that some of these engines were re-badged by other companies or the Diamond Iron Works tag could be missing altogether. Any information or leads appreciated Thanx, Wallace 702.644.1945

Alan, what parts are you in need of? I have brake shoes and rear axle housing.

Looking for a right front fender for 1910 AA Maxwell. thnx!

Looking for top bow sockets for model 4 Willys Overland (1920 - 1922) Leads appreciated. Thnx!

Rear shackle supports are Columbia or Pope Hartford 1910-12 era. Radiator and hood look Columbia. Hubcap appears to read: ELECTRIC VEHICLE CO. around the circumference. It looks just like the Columbia hub cap on the hub cap collectors web site. I was reading where Columbia was using their Electric Vehicle hub caps even on their gas cars up to becoming the Columbia Motor Car Company around 1909-1910. Previous to that they were the Columbia Electric Vehicle Company. So I would say 1910-12 Columbia.

The rear shackle supports are forged round and bent into a loop to hold the shackles... kinda unusual. What cars used round shackle supports? I noticed the license plate: District of Columbia 26

Looks like snow to me.

Found something else in my pile of parts. It's either from a 2 or 4 cylinder engine. Casting number is 1RA19. Any clues? Thnx!

Yeah, your right, totally missed that Fleek got it. I just saw the picture of the 35 and cruised right past Fleek's post! Thanx, you guys are good!

Dave, you nailed it again! The column came with a bunch of early Chevy stuff. Definitely looks to be the "35" Ford! Thanx!

Last thing I have that I'm not able to id is what I think are top bows sockets? The sockets are pretty long measuring close to 26". The socket is nearly 5" long. Any ideas what car (or truck) may have used these? Thanks!

Any ideas on these parts? The gas tank measures 30" long x 13" diameter. The head light bar is 44" long and has 8 mounting holes. Thanks!

Still going through some old car parts. Unable to id steering column. It has an "on" & "off" switch near top of column along with the original Briggs & Stratton key still in the switch. No part #'s. Thanks!

Wow, that was a fast response! Thanks Dave !

I got this hood half with some other car parts I purchased. Looks to be from the late 30's to 40's. Any ideas to what make of car this may have come from? Thanks!

I did a little searching and found an earlier post looking for info. on a T88... I think it was out of a Studebaker. It would be interesting to find out what make of vehicles this T82 was mfg'd for.

Recently picked up this transmission in California. Can anyone identify it? It has a patent date of 1917. Also has W. G. Co. cast into the side along with the model: T82-1 Also shifter and brake lever has remains of nickel plating. Thanks

Is what's in the pictures all the Maxwell parts? Also where are the parts located?

Do you have pictures of the top side of engine? Thanks

Ben, I think you're right... the rear end seems awful light for a truck. The frame appears to be a large passenger car. Also, had a few minutes and measured the wheel base and it measures 130" NOT 103" as I previously thought. I guess my dyslexia's kicking in! Frame sure is a puzzle!

1937hd45 and Lozierman seem to be right on about the frame being from the 1910-1914 period. The cars I found on the net seem most similar to that era and the spokes are oval and the wood felloes are rounded which also seem early. I also thought about it being a truck frame but didn't know if trucks had platform style rear springs? As I remember, the wheel base is 103” but will measure it again today. The frame is located in Iowa and really haven’t given much thought about selling... have to sleep on it. Sharp eye! I studied that frame a few times and never noticed it being right hand drive. What cars used right hand drive in the early teens here in the states?:confused:

Thought I'd bump this again... still trying to identify. The drilled piece in front is riveted so is certainly stock. Any thoughts?:confused:
