Re: Broken Axle

On my father's one-month 10,000-mile trip to 48 states in his 1930 speedster, his left rear axle broke near the end of the trip in Alabama. Before a new axle arrived, the axle had been welded at a farm machinery repair shop and installed. A delay of about a day's time during the trip. The repaired axle is still in the car after more than 10 years, with many more miles put on it.
