That is a great use of a front axle. Who thinks of these things? Art

Yep it’s got a T axle and maybe a few of T leaf springs but not sure on those. A T front axle is probably the most durable T part thats survived over the years.

I deducted 10 points because of the chrome instead of nickel plating. :lol:

I wonder how that machine is licensed and titled. Since it has four wheels, it's no longer a motorcycle as far as Michigan is concerned. I'm guessing other states are similar.

I'm hoping that axle doesn't make it a 1923 Ford.

Ed,
It was selfie day. I tried using my left hand to hold my phone. Like everything else, it’s designed for a right handed person.

It took me about eight seconds to spot the front axle! Then I had to laugh! Neat!
