My friend found some photos and this was in it. It is her great grandmother doing the wash with the t. She says that there is a photo someplace with her grandfather taking up the bearings while the t is on its side by the barn. If she finds that one I will post it also.
That's a great photo! The Model T was the most utilitarian vehicle ever produced.
Back in the day they belted the T's up to just about everything- either like that with a pulley of some sort attached to the wheel or with a fixture that picked both wheels off the ground and the tires rode against two small rollers that were attached to a jack shaft that had the flat-belt pulley attached. And I've seen a photo with some guys cutting wood on a buzz saw and they had the belt going right around the back tire- no pulleys or devices of any type!
They sure were work horses.
Got this rear end lying around, might need to make some yard art. Thinking it was once on a larger model T truck, and the large drum ran a belt.
I'm pretty certain that's not a one ton (TT) Model T rear end. However, there's no telling how many vehicles were set up, or modified, to run an implement with a belt. They also had units that went on the back of a T engine/transmission for a flat belt. They used the engine for a powerplant after the car itself was "retired".
It was sitting on the back of a truck, and truck was sold and I came over and moved the rear end off.
Am curious about what it was on. I just assume it was to drive a belt.
It only has the large drum on one side, other side could have been removed.
The springs actually spin around and why one is opposite the other.
Couple more pictures of it. First photo above shows the wide 5 bolt pattern, I guess it is Ford
