B1B Keven Posted March 2, 2017 Report Posted March 2, 2017 Just got a pic of one. They are the same as the '48-'50 B series truck with a slightly different face. 5 Quote

MBF Posted March 3, 2017 Report Posted March 3, 2017 It looks like the speedo is 2 1/3 off (mph and odometer)- probably due to the gear reduction caused by the size of the sprockets driving the tracks. They're not much larger than the brake drums. Quote
B1B Keven Posted March 3, 2017 Author Report Posted March 3, 2017 Powered by a Dodge flathead also. And they use the '48-'50 gauge cluster. 5 Quote

They're not much larger than the brake drums. You're right, the gear in the pontoons is only about 10 inches in diameter and there is further reduction in the transfer case. Dividing by 2.33 is for the odometer. Quote
B1B Keven Posted March 5, 2017 Author Report Posted March 5, 2017 Welcome Greg! How about some pics of the '48 Dodge too? Quote

B1B Keven Posted October 4, 2018 Author Report Posted October 4, 2018 Cool! Looks like a mid '50's gauge cluster and speedometer. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 4, 2018 Report Posted October 4, 2018 those companies (individuals) did back then just what is done today...take an drivetrain and associated parts easily obtained from a parts supplier/donor vehicle and build something in the manner they wished.... 1 Quote
Young Ed Posted October 4, 2018 Report Posted October 4, 2018 Dads Worthington Chief lawn tractor is the same way. Mostly dodge truck parts some house made stuff. Crosley gauge cluster. Seat probably from some tractor line. 1 Quote
