That is a great idea! Thanks for posting the photos!

You might be looking for a Tillotson MS-1A. Is that an Overland model 91?

Thanks for posting this! I like the chains around the tire. Beats building a cage. My '26 has lock rings and was considering inflating the tires in my pet's "Dog House". 😁

A half a million. I have seen 475,000 and 522,000 so I assume the second number is after the juice from the auction company.
I need to loan my car to a director.
If you loan your car to a director, hope it's a movie worth watching, wait 76 years for the value to increase, you will be how old?????

Still have time to purchase before Christmas!!!

John you never cease to amaze me! Within 3 hours you not only identified it as a horn button but also included a photo! I'm guessing you have photos of every single Dodge part made from 1914 to the present!

Don't be shy! Make an offer!

My late '26 coupe is set up the same way with white faced gauges. Dodge didn't have a keyed ignition. I guess they figured the trans lock was sufficient.
Nice Coupe!

If it helps Doug my 5th Edition (July 1st, 1921) still shows the "Universal Joint Assembly" as 2506.

In 1914 the first engines were black. The color of DB engines after the first months was always described as "gray." The paint used would develop a green tinge when exposed to heat and oil over many years. This is seen in certain Packard and Hercules engines, which start off medium gray.
Romar is a good company, but has innocently misled hundreds of engine restorers with a little misinformation.
Recent Dodge TV adds perpetuate another error showing an early DB car with varnished wooden wheels. The varnishes available a hundred years ago were not very durable. Hence the wheels were painted blue, with zinc-plated rims. If Chrysler Corporation cannot get the facts straight, we should not be hard on fellow restorers who get things wrong

Hello Everyone, Here is an updated picture of the Dodge Brothers Victory Six Gas Gauge. The are work is now done and just waiting on the round metal disc that they are going to be Sublimation/printed on. Should have them ready to ship very soon. Just let me know how many anyone wants. They will only be $15.00 each. The three dots you see in the center are where I will be putting the holes for the two rivets & dial stem to come through.
Beautifully done! Count me in for two please.

I guess we can start with: "Did it have a nut on it before you started?" If not then it sounds like someone hammered on the end of the axle shaft and slightly mushroomed the end. One way to verify is to use a micrometer or a dial caliper and measure the outside diameter of the threads on the end and then measure about 1/2" from the end and see if there is a difference.

'23 and earlier after 1916, driveshaft is 2" shorter. '27 got a splined driveshaft and there are 2 different lengths for '27. '27 also has some odd "flats" on both housing tubes that I have no idea what they were intended for. '24 and earlier had the arm that sticks out the back pretty much straight back. Somewhere around '25 they dropped those down at an angle like yours. I would say it is '25-'26 and not '27.
Hello Dave!
I'm glad you chimed in. I have a 1927 Rear that I haven't checked yet (Laziness) and will take some photos. I am also going thru some DB owners info manuals and seeing what differences there are. Mine has the coned drums that 24' thru 27 have. I will confirm the splined drive shaft. I will also look into the arm that sticks out. Do you have photos of this "Arm"?
Nice to hear from you!

Looks identical to my 26/27 with disc wheels. But my car seemed to be made up of different bits and pieces like it was the end of a run.
Thanks Matt!
I might list it as a 1924 thru 1926 only because I'm not sure about 1927. I still have some research to do....

My ‘23 has wing nuts to adjust the brakes. I reckon yours is ‘24 +
That's a start John! I dated it a 1923 because it came with an engine with primer cups. The date on the engine was 1924 but everyone stated that 1923 was the last year for primer cups on the head.
Thanks for your reply!
I still have that engine somewhere...........

Decided to clean out my barn and discovered a long lost axle assembly. I believe it to be a 1923 set up with disc wheels.
I want to list it for sale but I want an accurate description first. Any experts out there that can help me out? Any identifying numbers I should look for? More photos needed?
Thanks everyone!
