Guest djsn1 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 The attached photo shows an ORIENT buckboard rear axle attachment to a leaf spring. Does anyone know how the spring was attached to the frame with the bracket shown? If so, can you send or post some pics of the brackets attached to the frame. Someone informed me Maxwell's may of used the same setup. ThanksDoug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidMc Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 The 2 cylinder Maxwells have full elliptical rear springs clamped to the axle and they each pivot on a single pin attached to the chassis. Long radius rods running forward restrain the the back axle. Hope that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozstatman Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 In reference to David's post, here are some pic's I took of his 1912 Maxwell a few years back, not really specific but may help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seldenguy Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Doug, I found an old photo of the Maxwell rear spring attachment we discussed.You should be able to fabricate and rivet to your frame. Send me a PM with your address and I will mail it to you. --Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
