I have what I think is a jeffrey quad, though somewhat diffrent to what I have seen online. It is 4 x4 but not 4 wheel steer unlike photos I have seen the axels are kinked rather than straight with the diffs on top the wheels have a dimand cast into them. any imfo would be of intrest.
Hi Tim, there is know engin ; gearbox or transfer box or radiater I have got the guts for one diff and shafts complet with pinons (rear diff only ) the front pinons are complet with bearings and short shafts. Do you notice the axels hang on shakels each end of the springs but there is know torque rod system. thanks
I still dont know about this. It would almost certainly be of US build as quite a number of US trucks survive in NZ and the British were not well known at this time for 4WD. It does not appear to be a Militor, Jeffery/Nash Quad or FWD which were the only 4WD trucks used by the US Army in WW1, so something of slightly later origin perhaps?
I notice there are blanking plates where the shafts would fit so could this be some kind of heavy trailer as opposed to a truck. Just my thoughts on it !
Paul
