Guest broncodriver2 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 My family has been farming for four generations and my parents are retiring so it's time for a farm sale. This has been around forever and was a horse drawn wagon at one time when my father was little. Hate to send it to the scrap yard but don't have a clue as to what it is. Thinking maybe a late 1920's something? No markings on it other than a letter D on the rear differential or maybe I just don't know where to look. It also has 4 mechanical brakes. So far now one has been able to figure it out. They say not a Ford, Dodge, Nash or REO on other forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest broncodriver2 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Looking like it's going to the scrap yard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I don't see enough there to even try to identify car or truck it came from, which I'm sure is the issue resulting in no responses. You know, sometimes, as hard as it might be to let any piece of history go, some old iron really is useless and worthless except to a scrap dealer.

nzcarnerd Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) If you can extract the wheel bearings from the front axle you should be able to cross reference them in a very old catalogue. Maybe if the rear axle was stripped and measured there might be some clues though it is possible that the rear axle is not original to the chassis. If the brakes are hydraulics it is possible that it is a Chrysler product as not many others had hydraulics at that time. My guess for a date is either side of 1930 by not more than two years.

Curti Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 It appears to have mechanical brakes. The rear diff is the best clue. I'll bet some one is looking for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viv w Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Willy's used a diff similar to this on the mid 20's Overland. It could be late 20's or early 30's Willy's. What is the tire size? it may help to ID the year.Viv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28 Chrysler Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I was thinking Whippet but only as an uneducated shot in the dark.The wheel base and tire size would help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
