wheelwright Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 (edited) I seen this rear axel in a 1907 Deere sales manual, the company calls it a “Clutch driven, floating type” REAR AXLE. The brakes look like a Weston Mott type axle. Is that what they are trying to display in this picture, and description or would it be a different brand ?

Guest Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 It appears to be a live axle with full elliptical springs and certainly could be "full floating" although we can't tell without seeing the nubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 It does not look Weston Mott to me. Can you post the whole photo ? What is the Deere { John Deere?} connection? Was this a road vehicle they were marketing in 1910? Greg in Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelwright Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 Yes it is a road vehicle made in Moline IL by Clark Motor Works, I will post a picture. I am not familiar with full/semi floating, or clutch driver axles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Yes, Deere made a car in 1907. Here is a die cast model of one.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
