The Speedster in Montana.
This is the Speedster in the upcoming Montana auction. I know it is of interest to Speedster guys and some would like to see these.
I hope these are enjoyed.
Rich
I asked the auctioneer to send them to me so we could share them. I have no connection with the sale. He felt there might be complaints if he posted them. It is sad if we miss out on wonderful things we like to see.I hope these are enjoyed.
Rich
When did I do that?

Re: The Speedster in Montana.
The auction flyer has photos including some of these. Some folks have had trouble accessing them.

Re: The Speedster in Montana.
Thanks Stan. The video was a treat not to mention the great music. I know many that can't make the auction and are pleased to see those items and the beautiful Montana area.
John, The flyer says "North & East of Shelby, Mt 40 miles or 25 miles North of Galata..." That would be close to the Canadian border as I see it. Stan mentioned 500 miles from Helena.

Re: The Speedster in Montana.
In the third picture of the dash bottom left corner ,what is that switch with the T handle. I have found a unit like it but I can't figure it out other than I would say it's from the 20's

Re: The Speedster in Montana.
Shelby is on I-15 about 35 miles from the Canadian border, south of Lethbridge, Alberta.
The auction is on highway 343 which turns off the Interstate at Kevin/Oilmont 15 miles north of Shelby and runs east and south until it meets highway two 25 miles east of Shelby.
The auction is a little over 235 miles from where I live in Helena. It is a 500 mile round trip, not 500 miles one way.

Re: The Speedster in Montana.
There is also a Model TT truck, another TT to rebuild and quite a few fenders, radiators, several engines and a big drum ruckstell still under the wagon it's been under for who knows how long.

Re: The Speedster in Montana.
I'm not 100% sure, but it looks like one of those chassis made into flat bed trailers has a Ruckstell in it.
My grandfather, who was born in Montana, said if you go to places like that (shown in the video), you better carry a picture of a tree with you so you'd have some scenery to look at.

The welds on those headers look like some of mine.

Re: The Speedster in Montana.
Colin, I'm thinking it may be a type of circuit breaker. You press down to complete the circuit. If you get an overload it trips and cuts power. Better than a fuse.

Re: The Speedster in Montana.
I spent some time looking for information on the above switch. I couldn't find anything about it. There is lettering or a logo but not clear enough to read. If anyone knows what that is or could take a better photo at the auction I would certainly appreciate it. It's one of those puzzles that would be nice to know more of.
Thanks
Rich

(Nitrous switch)
Thank you for starting this Rich. Neat speedster!
I thought Colin was asking about the tee-handled one below.

Re: The Speedster in Montana.
T handle! I was on the wrong track as I often am. Sorry. Maybe I should be in the ejection seat
I have become obsessed by the toggle switch though.
Thanks for the comments.
