Re: Conversation Pieces - T Frames
I would say, the reason it is so clear to see. It said to not have had a body on it for over 50 years. Which makes it not hold moisture, preventing some of the rust. I would really like to know the meaning. I cannot believe someone out here doesn't know.

Re: Conversation Pieces - T Frames
The shaft is attached to the gear box that was powered by the PTO in front of the trailer. Then the chain attaches to a large blower. That is why I think it is some kind of seed cleaner or dryer. It also had a shoot on it. All the hardware was still there for the bed. But all the wood had rotted away.

Scott, you are correct on the contacts. I just tried the drive gear, and it screws right on the end of the T camshaft. This fits perfectly on the end of the T timing cover. And why would they have called this a super eight? This also has a patent pending. So, I have no date to research the patent.
