Dave Mellor NJ Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 The International Auto buggy went from about 1907 to 1916. The box on the one in the picture makes it an Auto Wagon of about 1912 like this auto buggy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLynskey Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 With solid rubber tires why did they need a spare? Broken spokes? Don 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) With solid rubber tires why did they need a spare? Broken spokes? DonWell, if you notice the tires on the front have about run their course....that would make for an even bumpier ride.

Dandy Dave Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Yup. These were made all the way up to 1916. They came in both air-cooled and water cooled versions. The engine was a 2 cylinder opposed mounted under the mid section of the frame. Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Dave Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) The Amish can do it in one of their tire and wheel shops Wayne. Some Carriage's also used a similar tire. It actually has a steel rod inside of it and they stretch the rubber back enough to weld it to the correct diameter. After welding and cooling they just release the clamp and the rubber springs together. I've seen them do it years ago when my dad use to get buggy and cart wheels from them. Dandy Dave!

60FlatTop Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 The spare tire spoke at 12 o'clock has a shiny ring at the top. I think that is the cup holder bracket.Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Dave Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 They do a breakneck speed of 16 MPH wide open with a good tail wind. Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 In 1916 scientists claimed the human mind and body wasn't capable of processing information at speeds over 15 MPH to be able to operate a vehicle. One hundred years later and they are still trying to prove those scientists wrong.The financial people also said that people receiving Ford's high wages would spend it foolishly.And during the Revolutionary War one could be elected leader of a Minute Man group if they could afford rounds of rum at the tavern. I remember doing close to that breakneck speed of 16 MPH when we hitched my cousins to Grandpa Jim O'Brien's high wheeled buggy. Bernie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
