Running Gear ID

[ronhf]

Can anyone identify the brand of this running gear?

Kind of hard to tell from the one photo but it looks allot like the Lindsey Brothers
running gear my Dad had once upon a time.

A good clear photo of the front end is most likely to help with ID. Spindles, steering linkage, pivot, etc. Rear end, not so much.

Here are two more, one of the front and one of the rear.

Good photos, but I don"t have a clue. Could be home made or small independent shop, or short line mfgr. Simple construction with I beam, square tube, off the shelf components. Rocking bolster dates it back some decades.

I had a gear about like that one some years ago and it was a Grove 5 ton gear. I will say it also looks like an old IH I've seen before. Bandit

 

[Larry Davis]

Not a Lindsey like Dad's but Grove and Badger used I beams at one time.

So did Knowles, who built for Gehl as well.

I had an old Farmhand gear that looked very similar to the one in the pic. The Farmhand was from the 50's.

Could be a Gehl (Knowles), but the steering looks a lot like some New Idea gears that I have seen.

Who ever built it also built for David Bradley ( Sears ). I have a hay rack with a running gear like that with plate on rear axle David Bradley ( Sears and Roebuck ).

I was thinking maybe new idea. It sold for $525 at auctiin today.
