l posted this a few days back on the workshop page but didnt get a bite,

ill give it a go here...

Trying to work out what  pinion shaft  l have suits what motor? its a big twin ....

its on a set of flywheels ive got, mocaso60's . ive got nothing to compare it to, but looking at it id say its probably 1971ish to late 70's.. it just looks that bit to long to run on a pan motor,

it measures 145mm from the end of the shaft to the flywheel,

any body got some of these lying around??

or if you know the corrct lenth for a 58-63 ish pan motor sing out.....as well.....

part numbers wont be any good to me ...cause theres none on it....

Thanks........

 

No?? No one?? Not even a sniff.!!

 I,d be trying Harley Tech Talk or www.hydraglide web site in the US, hope this helps.

l shall 8080..ive been member on that site for a few years now,,its not urgent more curious than anything..

Thanks Dave,

if reboring & honing is something they do there,

l could drop off a set of 80ci barrols for boring & have a chat about pinion shafts then as well...

is there a site for SER, l havnt heard of them, always looking for a quality joint that can set up flywheels,

bore, hone, weld alloy, e.t.c. for early bike motors  ...

 

 

 Hi Kickinon,

Pinion shaft.  Larger size 1.250" diameter from 58 0n. Earlier models 48-57 used a variety of different ones. 

2 types for Big Twin 58 on,

1- # 24006-58  Fits 58 to 72   Oil feed on the side of the shaft.

2- # 24006-73  Fits 73 on.  Oil feed on the end of the shaft.

Hope this helps,

Cris.

THE DON , A big help..Thanks....From your imfo its a 58-72 shaft which would be correct for this flywheel assembly l have here, l needed to check before proceeding with it since you can never be sure if someones mis matched parts,it was sold to me "as is" & "dont know what it fits" its a gamble purchasing parts lying on the grass at swap meets,this ones payed off, for the price of a slab.. l can feel a build coming on!!!
DAVE,, Great stuff.. A Big Thanks...ive noted down ser's number, very handy ...& since they do THEIRS!!! it will be quality work.....i've been collecting parts this year again to build from scatch, probably wait to start in the new year now...

 on the early shovel & pans from what i remmember the oil feed hole is on the side of the end of the shaft that goes in the cam cover pinion bush  about 1970 up the oil feed is in the end of the shaft  if it's  & aftermarket pinion shaft the oil  feed hole will be in the end only original early were  the side oiler 

putting 2 sets of wheels together at the moment , a set of 66 gen shovel in case l need them one day, , and a set of 74ci to suit a set of 1973 cases l picked up a while back ,i'd kind of remembered this thread lucky, a big thanks to THE DON!!
for your tec imfo on the pinion shafts...o.k back to the shed!!
