Picked up these twin coils today and would like to know what they fit. Quick search turned up the number 1854015 fits a 1934-1937 Cadillac V16. This set hs the number 1854011 on the diecast bottom which I think might be a Delco number so maybe this fits an earlier V16 > Thanks for any help, Howard Dennis

Soo...., No Switch ?? Howard Dennis

Thanks Pat, I have the pedal and mount just need the switch. Howard Dennis

Possibly. This is what the whole thing looks like. Howard Dennis

Pat, since this is an accumulation of Maxwell parts would you have any of these 1916-1917 starter switches? Thanks, Howard Dennis

That makes it a mid year 1917 engine. Howard Dennis

Aftermarket Atwater-Kent but appears to have the wrong coil. Howard Dennis

Check out the break-in routine on the new 1918 Maxwell: Howard Dennis

From what I could find the majority of Rayfields were aftermarket, would depend on what the model is as some were factory mounted on a few cars. That may be an original coil as 1918 was the first fully 12 volt Maxwell's. My late 1917 has 2 6 volt batteries, starts on 12 runs and charges on 6 volt. Howard Dennis

That Rayfield carb is not the original. 1918-19-20 all show a Johnson carb. I'm out of town till next week but know I have some, might make you a package deal to take them all. Howard Dennis

Supercub, forget about looking for a Jaxon rim. If I'm seeing correctly your carhas the odd wheels held on by 3 bolts. I can't seem to prove or disprove if these are factory mounted. I can't find any literature that mentions them other than aftermarket listing of the period. So they could be factory or dealer or owner installed. yours is about the fourth car I've seen equipped with them. Howard Dennis

Great! Glad to see another Maxwell rescued. Get any spare parts with it? Howard Dennis

Definitely Maxwell engine from 1916-19. What is the motor number stamped on the boss just behind the water outlet? Howard Dennis

Judging by the gas tank filler and windshield mounting post I'd say this is a 1918-19 Maxwell. Check the serial number to find out exact year. Howard Dennis

I'm not seeing anything?? Howard Dennis

Rims should be Jaxon and turn up occasionally. I have used Model T Ford rims by knocking off the lugs in a bind but they lack the anti-spin indentation. Howard Dennis

From your picture I can see the carburetor is not original but they come up on eBay often. Howard Dennis

Some 1916-17 Maxwell's left the factory with over hardened ring gears and started shedding teeth almost immediately. It took me the contents of 10 differentials to get enough good parts to restore my rear end. The dash panel with cutout and regulator, starter/generator and starter switch are more complicated than most period cars and replacement parts for these are very hard to find. If your car has a Simms magneto look inside the frame rail next to it to see if the intensifying coil is there. I have only ever seen one. If your car is missing the coil I'd reccommend replacing the magneto with the later Atwater-Kent distributorand coil. There is one on eBay right now. Yes the spare is a clincher rim with tire installed. There are some Maxwell's that have an odd complete wheel that is held on with 3 bolts and require a complete wheel and tire combination to be carried. Howard Dennis

Since he hasn't been back after the original post and hasn't responded to my suggestion to recheck the serial numbers I'd say he expects anyone interested to call the number. Glad he's not handling MY estate. Howard Dennis

Bob, I don't know the make of car but might this also be a car with a factory installed Kellogg tire pump? Howard Dennis

You need to check the serial numbers as both are 1922 or later. Howard Dennis

Nice find! Looks just like mine. Howard Dennis

Most brass era adds for aftermarket cutouts tout them as both performance and testing devices. Howard Dennis
