the ruxtell axle had a sliding gear arrangement inside the housing. When you pushed or pulled the handle forward or back, it slid the gears over to make the truck go faster or slower, thereby reducing engine speed on the level or down hill, or giving you more pulling power on hills!
The only exhaust manifod i ever saw seemed to be the standard manifold. The hot-spot intake manifold may have been sold by after-market companies, of which there were many! They sold equipment for Model T Fords, so you could use the car or truck for many things that needed power around the farm or home!
You can still buy books with those advertisements in them, in fact, there is a book out that is nothing but ads for converting your Model T car or truck into most anything, including a Snow Cat! Sears, Roebuck had lots of stuff in their catalogs back then!
There is a business in New Springfield, Ohio that sells Model T and A parts, and they have all kinds of books on those subjects! The place is: "Snyders Ford Country". They may be on the internet. I haven't looked for them, since i don't have my old Ford T car any more! I'll try to get their address, if they are still in business. There are other old ford parts sellers, too. Try an internet search--may turn something up!
