Title: 1935 Harley Project
Post by: Dennis on July 22, 2022, 10:12:39 AM

On Tuesday we looked at some parts needed for the 1935 Harley project.

I told Keith I would look for two things, but I have not had much luck yet so I am putting this information out for anyone to search the WWW (or wherever) to try to find the parts needed.

Valve Guides.  This is a picture from Keith's book.  Note that there are two wide parts on each valve guide.

Oil Pump Part.  These are photos of the part; its cracked.  Keith's book discusses how the cracking was a common problem, so a thinker casted one came out to replace it.   Keith gave me some part numbers which failed to store on my phone so I am going from memory here:  original #695-35 and the improved #695-34B

Keith told me Hans put him in contact with a parts supplier in Sweden.

Peace & Parts, Dennis

Just wondering if a 3D printer could make that oil pump part?

Pat will make one out of aluminum billet on his mini lathe/mill. 

3D printing would work but the cost would not be insignificant.  3D printers that produce oil tight aluminum or pot-metal parts are expensive.  It would also be necessary to produce the part image in 3D CADD/CAM--which is also costly

So, if Pat wants the job, I'm willing to suspend my operations. Just let me know.

Keep going... pretty sure Olaf was too excited to go riding and mixed up names.

I thought it might be something like that. I've been known to confuse people before.

That post was really just to correct the record.

It's not an identical part but functionally suitable (I think). If we're working on the '35 next Thursday, I'll bring it along.

Excellent work.

Be careful Theo, you may become the nest "go to" machinist.

Peace & Grease, Dennis

Harley Davidson Model 32E:  6 volt, 3rd brush type generator in pieces. I had to fabricate a small adapter part for my puller to remove the drive gear - other than that, disassembly was straight forward. Now it needs cleanup and examination/testing. It's quite oily inside so, hopefully, that hasn't done any harm.

sorry im late with this but if you want it testing take it to Bater Electric 22nd Avenue
Steve does all that sort of stuff.
I took my Fridge fan motor down there and he had a replacement on the shelf, saved a $1000 for the new fridge the repair guy said I needed.
