sagefinds Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 (edited) It's located in Northern Colorado,I may get the guy traded out of it. Hoping someone someone has an idea what it's out of. That brake rod behind it is kind of odd. Straight end axle shafts with keyway. Thanks for any help.

mikewest Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 It must be light duty . In the pictures it struck me as larger than a Model T . Is it about the same size and weight?? It sure is unusual... Layden butler my know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikewest Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 The more I look at it Im changing my opinion. Straight shafts on the ends. Why do the drums always have to be missing>?? at least the brakes are there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagefinds Posted November 21, 2023 Author Share Posted November 21, 2023 I'm thinking it's more like 1908-10. It has dual brake shoes,one for hand brake and one for foot brake in the same drum. A friend has a Stutz and a Mercer and either one or both have brakes like that. I'm pretty sure Stutz had transaxles,Mercer started in 1910,maybe that's what it is.

JB1913 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Looks like model 20 Hupmobile, 1909-1913 JB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not the best on google but there was one rear shot that showed enough of the rear axle to confirm it. Any ideas if these are rare and in demand or if every Hupp guy has a spare in the garage? Thanks much! Edited November 21, 2023 by sagefinds Needed to thank the contributor (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB1913 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Fairly rare in Australia in that condition, you should have no problems parting with it, put your pictures in the Hupmobile section of the forum. There are other pictures in the Hup forum as well. I have two restored model 20s in Australia. regards JB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMac Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Hupmobile Model 20 1909-10. This is the early straight axle variant whereby the wheel hubs are secured by tapered pins. In mid-1910 they shifted to a tapered axle with retaining nut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
