Full floating rear axel, 5 bolt lugs front and rear , front brake drums in-tact, , and the number makes me think it was created across the pond somewhere ..

Your right Larry, I'm sure it would have originally had 5 lug nuts on that right front instead of 4. LOL

Is that a headlight between the oil filter and the belt pulley? Why would it point to the side?

| I was thinking noisemaker of some sort too. Good eye on the lug nut Charlie. Necessity is the mother, looks like she lived her days in a cool wet world. Is that a Ireland registration? |

Very interesting little rascal there. Coke, I noticed the full-floater too. I also see what may be a leaf spring perch sticking out from under the edge of the cab in front of that axle. Suspension too? If so, I would be very interested to see what was under that cab. The fact that it has a horn, windshield wiper, street-legal tires, and possibly suspension makes me think it may have some very different gearing options than what it came with originally. ------------- I didn't do it!

Breeze, it could be a rumble seat. Most likely a trunk for tools and such. Also, look just under the belt pulley. Looks like a steering link rod, but that would really be in the wrong place. Wonder what it is? Link rod for a front suspension maybe? At any rate, i'd love to have it. Would be like Johnny Cash, i'd have the only one there is around. LOL! ------------- I didn't do it!

Yeah, I don't think the color is quite right either.

This was a tractor from a Tullamore, Ireland tractor display....
"One tractor that stood out was Sean McRedmond’s Allis Chalmers WC tractor that was converted for road work in the 1950’s. The TVO fuelled tractor was fitted with front and rear axle suspension to allow it to be used at speed with comfort on the roads."
TVO is British for distillate. You can see the small tank for gasoline starting on the right side of the hood.

Many similarities to Marian Klutzkes jalopy. Wonder if that one big headlight pivots with the front steering (remember the Tucker car). |

I believe that is the gas tank. The Waukeshaw WC's had the starter tank in that same position. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |
