Those are the best. We had this one in Pocatello years ago. They claimed it was 1 cylinder. I would have thought 2. I was smitten for several years by the 2 cylinder REOs and gathered parts for one until I bought my Buick.

Leo, you might get the intention of this. Dale used to run the Jeffrey quad truck thru his four wheel steering paces in the parades.
Smooth four cylinder, Wisconsin? engine. Dale at the controls, me on the mic...
There's a Jeffrey hiding close by. :)

Duey i really like those FWD and Quads, there are a small number of them around still on our side of the pond, left behind in 1918, most are FWDs, a Quad is rare as hens teeth,
The FWD is a more 'normal' truck technically speaking with differentials and axles sort of like we still use today, but the Quad is a very interesting piece of original engineering for its day, it has 'dead' axles with the differentials on top delivering power to the wheel by an early 'portal axle' concept not unlike todays Unimogs.
I never saw one up close in real life and i imagine i could spend a whole day under one 'looking up its skirt' to find out the details of that drive system it i ever get the chance :D
Here's some footage of one that is in the collection of the Texas based Pioneer Flight Museum:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ux-PBa-HQgg

The very few times i found a Quad that was for sale it was WAY above my budget, and buying a wreck is not an option as you will have to fabricate every missing part because the sparepart situation is nonexistant :roll:

American LaFrance and others built tractors to pull steam powered pumping engines previously pulled by horses. The first photo is one I saw in parades during the '60s. I was impressed by the chain driven front wheels and the ingenious design to drive and steer them.

I posted this photo elsewhere of the line-up of Ahrens-Fox trucks at the Richie Clyne museum. Their "chromed sphere above the pump held air and smoothed the outgoing pressure fluctuations from the piston pump". (Wikipedia) As I recall there were 6 or 7 but I didn't get them all in the picture.

We had a couple of those Autocar truck chassis in our area in the 60s. They had been made into wagons. There were no engines but we often thought of trying to piece one together. There must have been hubcaps or data plates because we knew they were Autocar.
When did I do that?

Well I got to thinking today and I thought about revisiting this story about my Grandfathers truck:

http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/50 ... 1448119649

It turns out that I found out more since the story was told the first time.
I told my uncle who had sold the truck to the family I bought it back from that I had it. He replied that he was there the day grandpa bought the truck in 1948. It was bought used about a quarter mile up the road from where I live, from my dad's uncle Hubert Iffrig. It is now from both sides of my family.

That is such a great story. Thanks for reminding us.
My Grandfather had a 1935 Ford truck that was kept in the family for years. I had custody of it for a time. I'll see if there are any photos around of it.

Perry, if you drove a truck that ugly would you use your real name?

I believe the license plate is a Cal 1920. (Com)

Those are some crazy wheels aren't they?
Kenworth 1920 +/-. The KW on the radiator might be enhanced for the photo.
I see where Kenworth celebrated 90 years in 2013.

The fenders resemble these. A larger version of the slip on bed.
These are from 1922 MP catalog.
The old truck looks well used.

Wow! What a great photo. Some of my favorite things.
I didn't feel the Quake. Joy was on the phone talking to our Daughter in Boise at the time and she (our daughter) was feeling it.
The White truck has acetylene light forks with electrics adapted to them. Typical for those years. Probably a Model 20 White.
The motorcycle is probably an Indian. The front leaf doesn't show well here but it's brace does.
Cool photo, perhaps 1924 or so.
Thanks
Rich

These were my first venture into the truck world.
MyWhite1.jpg
MyWhite2.jpg
Yep, that's me in the Chevron uniform on break. I purchased the pair for $250, half of my Summer salary, in 1966. The previous owner wanted the wrecker frame back for scrap. That is a TT rear end that winds the cable via a Ford ('36?) transmission mounted behind the White transmission. Idling both in low the vehicle barely moved. The wrecker had been Bus 199 in Yellowstone Park in 1923.
When did I do that?

Well I spend plenty of time in the back yard dreaming.
As parts are where you find them I picked up a 3rd Monster which had been made into a buckrake. It came in handy as it had been a Bus too. In particular the rear axle shafts were good in this one. The shafts had been twisted in the wrecker and the bigger truck had a different axle.
MyWhite3.jpg
Some traveling fabricators passed through the Dillon, Mt area and converted dozens of White Park Buses and big Buicks into these machines during the depression when farm equipment was hard to get.
I thought I had too much stuff until I visited a guy in Northern MT that had 22 of these chassis. Half or more were from the Dillon area. At one point he offered them to me. :o
Nope! Not me!
When did I do that?

I borrowed this from the Tenwheel site. They were sometimes a little bit more bronze than this. The YPC rotated them through the paint shop almost continually I am told. The thickness of the remaining paint on mine wass proof of that.

Nice restoration Bob. It looks great!

I ran across pictures of our local Nash Quad. Joe was encouraged to go recover this abandon truck. It was frozen to the ground but we managed to free it. Joe did quite a bit of work on it. Finally another fellow took interest and claimed it had been in the Family since it was new. The new owner did a nice restoration on it and it has been to several of our shows since.

That's a really net looking rig. Why do each of them have 3 axles with one in the center? For that matter, why are the center wheels larger than the others? Seems odd to me but I suppose there was a good reason at the time.

The large wheels with lugs are drive wheels? Maybe the two rear units are unfinished trucks? They appear to have the same setup. Wonder if front and rear wheels are steer axles? Very interesting !

Shorpy photos are the best. This one is clear enough to see the striping on the frame. The Adlake side lamps and radiator shocks are typical of the White Trucks.

Yes, it looks like it's ready for the spare tire.
Enjoy!
When did I do that?

Herb I,
I would say that your three times Three axle monsters are electric powered.
You will notice two steering wheels one on top of the other, one for direction and the other for the voltage / current control into the electric motors of each of the three wheel unit.
you car also see cables hanging between the first and second unit.....N.

Neil I too wondered about what looked like two steering wheels. Thank you for your input.

It certainly is. The TT chassis looks familiar but I can't tell what cowl that Ford firewall is grafted into. Buicks and Overlands had rounded ones but the windshield doesn't match what I have seen. It looks a lot like a Maxwell windshield but not the cowl. I'll bet that dump bed got a lot of use.
When did I do that?
