The rear end you refer to is a Ruxtell axle-2 speed-controlled from the driver area by a vertical handle and a long rod back to an L shaped rod sticking out of the housing! I know they were used on the cars, but not sure of a truck type rear end. Maybe the later ones had them! Is this a home-made tractor? And are the parts lightly made? Some of the tractors were made by folks who needed a tractor and couldn't afford to buy one. I had several home-made T tractors, with heavier wheels, a stronger frame, and one had 2 transmissions in it, along with a TT truck rear end! The truck wheels had much heavier spokes and rims than the lighter car wheels. As for the manifold, I'm not familiar with the "hot-spot" type you mention. Most homade tractors used regular car engines for motive power, and i think the truck engines were the same as car engines. And, the parts were, too. If i have time tomorrow, i'll check my old car manuals, to see if there is any info in there about Ruxtel axles, and Hot-spot manifolds! (Too late tonight--the mice are playing in the storage area, and i don't want to disturb the cat on her hunt!) As for finding one---well, go to the antique car and tractor web sites, you may find one there! Also truck and tractor swap meets. by: rustyj

There were kits available from Sears and a myriad of aftermarket suppliers to convert Ford Model T's to farm tractors. Those kits contained rear wheel conversions, front steel wheels, and everything to do the conversion. Some even had a kit to mount the differential on top of the frame, and the dead axle below it, and the rear wheels were driven by chains to the inner sides of the wheels. This was similar to the rear wheel drive on the Mack Truck of the era! In the internet, look for antique cars/ parts/ sellers/clubs. They will most likely have many areas you can search for info. Let me know how you make out on info. Or if i can be of any more help. by: Rustyj

the ruxtell axle had a sliding gear arrangement inside the housing. When you pushed or pulled the handle forward or back, it slid the gears over to make the truck go faster or slower, thereby reducing engine speed on the level or down hill, or giving you more pulling power on hills! The only exhaust manifod i ever saw seemed to be the standard manifold. The hot-spot intake manifold may have been sold by after-market companies, of which there were many! They sold equipment for Model T Fords, so you could use the car or truck for many things that needed power around the farm or home! You can still buy books with those advertisements in them, in fact, there is a book out that is nothing but ads for converting your Model T car or truck into most anything, including a Snow Cat! Sears, Roebuck had lots of stuff in their catalogs back then! There is a business in New Springfield, Ohio that sells Model T and A parts, and they have all kinds of books on those subjects! The place is: "Snyders Ford Country". They may be on the internet. I haven't looked for them, since i don't have my old Ford T car any more! I'll try to get their address, if they are still in business. There are other old ford parts sellers, too. Try an internet search--may turn something up! by: Rustyj
