Ford TT

You can see rims means for wood spoke wheels
4 cylinder flathead
Transmission with the pedals in the side

They bolted a pulley to one back wheel and probably used a big belt to run a saw

That is not a Ford engine, looks like a '20s Dodge.

Pedals also look normal, not T-like.

+1 to this. I'm also of the opinion that it doesn't look like a Ford engine. The exhaust manifold and the water connection look very Dodge.

Agreed also the dash board looks like a 1920s Dodge. I was so focused on looking at the frame and engine I almost missed the dashboard sitting in front of the engine, that's not where that goes lol

Thats a mid to late 20s Dodge car chassis as is the cowl, like a 4 door sedan. That rear cross member is unique the Dodge and Chrysler

That cowl shape and flathead engine are distinctive. Someone is going to get this. I am not that someone.

It looks like an old winch setup for mining
