Guest Silverghost Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) WAS/is there such a high-weeler as a Jaeger ?My buddy in MD knows of one in storage shed ;but seems to think it may be an early homebuilt on an old horse carriage ? He says it's engine is more like an old farm "Hit or Miss" which drives the car with two leather belts.I have not seen this contraption!Will try to have him get pictures.Brad Hunter215 947 4676 Edited November 5, 2010 by Silverghost (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad in Wisconsin Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 The Jaeger Machine Company made cement mixers about 1920, but never manufactured their own engines. Their engines were manufactured for Jaeger by the Hercules Gas Engine Company. I know the spellings different but they are pronounced the same?? just a thought.......

Restorer32 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I believe I know this car. Used to be in York, PA and is definitely a homebuilt around a Jaeger "Hit or Miss" engine. I was asked to look at it with an intent to determine its authenticity maybe 12? years ago. Likely was sold at auction along with other homebuilts (including several Packard open cars!) when the owner passed maybe 5 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Silverghost Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Thank's Restorer 32 !My MD buddy said it appeared to be quite crude in construction. He thought the engine was really a "Hit & Miss" farm type. The MD owner claims it is really an authentic old "Antique" Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
