mikewest Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Id bet those hubs were retrofit into those wheels . Factory wheels never had the hub flange plates larger than the center where the spokes bolt to the hubs. Would make nice wall hangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Albright Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I agree with someone else who said they appear to be 1908-10 Two cylinder Metz wheels. George Albright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Not from any Metz I am familiar with.There may have been an odd model from about when Charles Metz took over the Orient. Most of the plan cars, other two cylinder, and early model 22 had multiple disc brakes (like an old New Departure Bicycle brake) inside the hubs, which held the sprockets about eight inches inboard of the wheel. The brakes changed to a standard shoe type brake (very similar to a small drum model T parking brake) for most of the model 22, with the sprockets still about eight inches inboard of the wheel. The model 25 (1915 for a few years) changed to a single chain drive, and was a totally different setup. Fourteen spoke wheels. Very unusual. But I don't know what they are from either. The '10 Fuller I used to have had fourteen spoke wheels. However it was a standard rear end (Mott). I got to looking for that a lot and didn't see many. One possibility I can think of could be an early Brush? I know that the early semi-high wheel Brush had fourteen spokes. It is also possible that the wheels could have been modified by a local wheelwright for the pneumatic tires. I have run into that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john ullrich Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Not an early Brush, I own an 07, the chain drive although attached to the hub is a very similar manner, also incorporates the brake drum and bands and the ones in the photos have no brake drums.

Gunsmoke Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Most wood spoke wheels I have seen have a bolt pattern that is a symmetrical division of the number of spokes, A 12 spoke could have 6 bolts (typically at joint between every second spoke), or 8 bolts ( bolts alternate in center of a spoke and then at next intersection. Common location was always at center of a spoke or at intersection of 2 spokes. These wheels appear to have 5 bolts for 14 spokes, making for a completely random pattern of bolt holes, and likely weak spots. But who knows, could be a retrofit? . .
