1917X

1917 Model T driving around in several feet of snow. This Model T has an accessory Livingood four-wheel-drive attachment, otherwise it is stock. It is dressed up to look like a WWI vehicle. Jesse Livingood is sometimes credited with inventing 4WD. His first patent was issued in 1912. He started selling conversion units in 1914. There is no evidence that the US government used 4WD T's in WWI, that I can find.

does it wear out the clutch bands faster?

I don't think so.

It would be interesting to see how the convertion was done , is the transfer system single speed ? With the front drive so far to one side does this affect how it powers the front wheels ?

[tacarn]

The transfer case is in or out. The front wheels power nicely. It drives just like a T! It has room for a Warford, but I haven't installed one.
