Hello again. Here is the answer to your question:
This link looks interesting.
http://www.home.no/norron-mytologi/
Most of it in norwegian, som links in english.
This is what is written I Norwegian about Tor and the he-goats:
Tor kjører i en vogn, og når den ruller er det torden, dvs. Tor-dønn.
Vognen blir trukket av to bukker, Tanngnjost (den tanngnissende) og
Tanngrisne (åpne mellomrom mellom tennene), og den kam Tor slakte og
spise og igjen få levende når bare alle beina blir samlet i hudene.
Translated:
Tor drives in a wagon, and when it is rolling there is Thunder (Tor-
dønn (old norse)). The wagon is pulled by two he-goats, Tanngnjost
(the tooth-rubbing) and Tanngrisne (open space between the teeth),
the he-goats Tor can slaughter and eat, and again bring alive, as
long as the bones are collected in the hides.
