DFeeney Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) Hello, I have been trying for a long time to find information about the early chain drive differentials. The one shown I believe has the transmission mounted with it. It must be a kind of limited slip and not a locked differential to drive both chains. Can you explain more. thanks, Don Edited September 25, 2021 by DFeeney (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc1122 Posted September 5, 2021 Author Share Posted September 5, 2021 Have finally got equipment ready for harvest and have been able to afford some time to the speedster. The wheels will be 23” Buffalo wire wheels. I have machined hubs to accept the axle and wheel I am using Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrhd29nz Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Love your build . Keep us updated. Out of curiosity….. what’s the car in the background? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc1122 Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 Thanks. the car in the background is a 1924 studebaker. It started life as a 4 door. it was owned by a young man in Clearwater Florida. In 1930 he was working for John roebling. Grandson of the roebling of Mercer car and the Brooklyn bridge. they did the modifications at roeblings. Which included the swept back top . They called a duck tail. It was covered with airplane fabric. The car has dual transmissions. The original studebaker paired with a willys. Giving it 9 forward speeds. It has oak lowering blocks under it. truly an engineering masterpiece for 1930. I spoke with the original owners son. It was parked in the family garage in 1932 when his father went to work for standard oil. Sat there till we got it on a transport to Indiana 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
