Front Axle and Halladay Bumper
I picked up the front axle pictured with some other T parts. I noticed that the axle has some differences to the other T front ends that I have, the way the wishbone mounts is very different. The straight mounting bar connected to the spring has a tag on it as pictured. It is made by Halladay Bumper of Streator Illinois. I did find some information about that company but any information about the axle or bumper would be appreciated.

Missed a picture in the first try. This is the label on the frame piece attached to the spring.

Re: Front Axle and Halladay Bumper
The wishbone was mounted above the axle, as shown, on the early teen Model T's. The spring shown is a later T spring as it's leaves are not tapered. It is a late spring. The Halladay part suggest that is is an aftermarket, non automobile application. Perhaps it was for a wagon body of sorts. It would not mount to a Model T frame as shown. What you have in my opinion is a "bitsa" of parts.
I like the label, I have Halladay shocks on one of my cars.

Re: Front Axle and Halladay Bumper
Jack, thank you for the information. I wanted to make sure I did not ruin some rare parts. I think I am going to use the Halladay bumper part for the front of my speedster. I like the little vintage tag!

I'd like to know how they connected the drag link to the connector ball!
