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

He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
