I need to get a copy of the pictures my company has ran. They went into business in 1902 and started with 2 horses and a wagon.

A couple of the photos I saw on the wall were amazing. The trucks looked basically like a horsedrawn wagon, but with a tiny engine, no cab, wood wheels, etc.

And an "OVER-GROWN" motorcycle CHAIN DRIVE on the back axle.

Exactly!!! Not to mention the HUGE side-mounted flywheel looking thing.

Are you talking about the "BAND BRAKES"???? I suppose it could look like a flywheel. More like a pulley for a flat belt with a band most of the way around it. Tighten it up and you put the brakes on.

I really need to see a photo of one to know if it's what I'm talking about. It's possible that's what it is, though.
