Accessory hand crank accessory rare any ideas on what these are for
Layden B replied to FATMANS's topic in What is it?
First 3 pics are part of an accessory hand pull starter for Model T Ford. -
As a kid I remember going thru one of the drive thru trees, the 1956 Buick was dragging the bumper on one side and the cooler on the other. One of those cylinders that mounted in the roll up widow, it cooled by evaporating water. Papa was too bull headed to take it off! He knew it would go thru there.

Many cars had these rear window frames in a distinctive style, you could recognize the make of car from a distance, good advertising.

Large brass era car at the Wawona tree in California.
Layden B replied to nzcarnerd's topic in What is it?
Am thinking 1912 and definitely a Model 48 Yosemite Big Trees Auto Company had quite a fleet of Pierce cars three are in these pics. A 1910 and a 1913 followed by another pierce. Note the logo painted on the air shocks. It shows the Wawona tree and a horseshoe for the Horseshoe Route which was from Raymond to the Mariposa Grove, Glacier Point and Yosemite Valley. -

Layden B replied to nzcarnerd's topic in What is it?
Pierce Many if not all of their tour cars were purchased used in the Los Angeles area and driven to Yosemite. When/if they developed an expensive to fix problem they were off on the way back to LA. -
Wanted: Splitdorf Model D Type E Magneto or Parts
Layden B replied to Eric Hylen's topic in Parts Wanted
Due to their fragile potmetal construction, very few usable ones have survived. They have been reproduced in brass/bronze but I have no leads on by whom. -

This pump looks very similar or identical to 4 cylinder Chevrolet. The Chev pumps have but reproduced but I do not know if any are currently available. -
Artillery wheel straightening- split rim
Layden B replied to 147 Franklin Airman's topic in General Discussion
First picture is a real artillery wheel that carried around a cannon. Second picture is called artillery style because it even though it is made of steel it looks like wooden spokes. Third picture is of 1930s era steel wheels also called artillery. They are not really a disc wheel and certainly not wire wheels. Like so many words, the items morph over time and the name lives on. Note that in the second and third pictures the wheels are center demountable. -
Artillery wheel straightening- split rim
Layden B replied to 147 Franklin Airman's topic in General Discussion
Detachable rims have a ring that holds the tire to the rim, see first picture. Demountable rims allow an inflated tire on the rim to be removed, see second picture. This allows for a spare inflated tire. Technically this is a rim demountable wheel. Some early rims are both detachable and demountable as in third and fourth pictures. Wheels that come off the car with lug nuts at the hub are called technically center demountable. Pic 5 and 6. To ease confusion I will address artillery in another post. -

This Stutz hubcap is for 1926 thru 1928 Series AA and BB cars that have wood wheels. All body styles. The earlier bucket seat Bearcats ( 1912-1916) with wood wheels used a similar hubcap but it is slightly larger ( will not interchange) and has a hexagon for the wrench.

Locomobile wheels, rims, tires and related issues
Layden B replied to Ittenbacher Frank's topic in Locomobile
Q.D.C. means Quick Detachable Clincher. A detachable rim has a ring to take the tire off the rim. A demountable rim comes off the wheel with tire inflated. This allows for a 5th rim ( spare) with an inflated tire. Some wheels are both detachable and demountable. 1915 was about the cross-over time that Dunlop ( straight side ) tires became capable of carrying heavier loads than clincher or Fisk types. They were cheaper and easier to use as well. Cadillac is a great indicator of this. Earlier they have clinchers, then they have "universal" rims that can take either clincher or straight sides (by reversing the bead rings), then only straight side tires can be used. -
As one end is hex and the other a similar size octagon, I suspect this is an aftermarket hubcap wrench. Part of a group that an auto parts house might have to provide universal replacement.

Aftermarket Model T Ford ?

The hubcaps and threaded rings are NOT left and right hand threaded. See the cut from the catalog.
-
This design came to Buffalo (Wire Wheel Corp of America) in a buyout of Ash Wire Wheel. The caps and threaded retaining rings are the same ( interchangeable) on both sides. All the A5 are the same but there is an A4 that came in 2 types that will not work for you.

This design was made for Buick only.

Please ID 1915-ish 25" wheel rim, and a cautionary note
Layden B replied to PFindlay's topic in What is it?
Absolutely Firestone type E These were made in different widths so be sure you get the right replacement. Not only are they different between the beads for the tire but the 2 wedges on the inside of the rim ( your 1" measure) are different. The other widths will not mount to your wheels. -
What year Overland car would I find this speedometer in?
Layden B replied to Sardog357's topic in What is it?
Jones speedometer ceased production in January of 1916. The angled input to this head is typical of instrument panel mounting rather than firewall mount ( it kept the cable away from the occupants feet). I would say this came from a 1915 or early model year production 1916 car.
