Please, can someone educate me on this axle and spindles, stole the image from FB, owner believes this front end is correct for 1911? is it so?

No NO NO. Weird stuff here. Best of my sight. Chevy spindles to lower the front end. Later axle with outer bends to raise the front end. Reverse diego job.
Front axle is normally a straight line along the bottom edge. Some one was confused & drunk?
No guess why.
Love to hear from other's why anyone would do this.
Why the firewall cover? to keep water away from the coil box?

Looks British to me !

Doesn’t seem like the ‘24 GB dropped axle. Here is pic of that.

The owner has posted on FB that the T was looked at by Greenfield Village inspectors and claimed to be factory!???

It is NOT a Ford Motor Company front axle.

It is an Overland front axle and front spindles.

Additional details:

From the posting at: http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/59 ... 1456127187

A similar one was discussed.

The front axle is Overland. I'm guessing 1916-22. It is not a model 90.

Speedster guys like to use these axles in place of a stock model t, the spindles are off set and lower a model t. (submitted by brasscarguy )

The photo below from: https://topclassiccarsforsale.com/willy ... g-car.html and it shows a 1921 Overland right front axle & spindle.
So yes, it is a factory axle and spindles but the Overland factory and not the Ford factory.

And the Overland wire wheels look great on the T.

Respectfully submitted,

Look like you nailed it.

Agreed, thanks all.
