The Ford Barn

Well, you learn something new every day! I was looking at the picture of the banjo and noticed the flange where the T.T bolts, unbolts from the rest of the housing. This must be how they delt with the Mercury driveshafts that had the pinion gear integral with the end. And the "history" printed about the chassis mentioned it was a Mercury. I have seen the driveshafts but never the banjo that went with them. Everything about this is interesting. My Regional Group restored a cut away engine that is now in the Early Ford museum in the midwest. I was in charge of that project and completed it in my shop. It had the original stand that held the cut away transmission too. There are some poor pictures of it in one of my albums. There was some bracketry on the stand that indicated it may have been driven by an electric motor.
