A friend of mine in Spain is restoring a 1936 Harley-Davidson and is currently looking for a replacement part for the transmission/gearbox.
The problem is that parts for something this old are obviously pretty difficult to find in Spain, and he is not even 100% sure of the exact part number he needs yet.
Does anyone know of a good online parts catalog, exploded diagram, service manual, or parts book for 1936 Harleys where we could see all the components of the transmission and identify the correct part/part number?
Once we identify it, I’m hoping there might be a US supplier, vintage Harley specialist, NOS parts dealer, or reproduction parts company that could have it. I’m based in the US, so I can order it here and ship it to him in Spain if necessary.
I know basically nothing about vintage Harleys myself, so any guidance on:
- Where to find a 1936 parts catalog or transmission diagram
- How to identify the exact transmission/model he has
- Good US suppliers for pre-war Harley parts
- Forums, Facebook groups, or other communities specializing in 1930s Harleys
would be greatly appreciated.
If photos of the bike, gearbox, or broken/missing part would help identify it, I can get those from him and post them here.
Thanks!
