Help identifying and sourcing a 1936 Harley-Davidson transmission part for a restoration

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!

Looking for a knitting group for my wife

I know this is a long shot. We recently moved to Fort Lauderdale and my wife used to be part of a knitting group in France and she made a few good friends this way and it was great for her to socialize.

Honestly, the knitting was more of a bonus, what she enjoyed was talking with the other women. She is actually 29yo but enjoyed the older crowd and all the stories!

Please help me help her and tell me if you know of any such group, even informal, or slightly different from knitting.

Thank you!!

$18 bottle of water in Las Vegas hotel room

It was cheaper to pay a cab to go to the nearest gas station and get two gallons of spring water.

First time making pizza!

This was supposed to be a 12-inch pizza but I didn’t stretch it enough and also I left too much of a rim since this is supposed to be NY style.

Delicious nonetheless! This was at 550F using a 3/8” steel preheated for an hour.

Grilled Irish Grass-Fed Tomahawk

this was a leaner cut (100% grass-fed grass-finished), could have used a sauce but other than that was perfect!

Smoked tri-tip, seared hanger steak, with grilled pineapples and peppers

I made a few mistakes, which will be corrected by the next 4th of July!

- Set up the reflectors on the left-side but my charcoal was bright red all around the basket so flames would actually creep up on the indirect side and it was just too much

- I charred the hanger steak too much

- I completely burnt a few of the pineapple pieces (cleaned them up to remove the burnt surface)

All in all it turned out Ok! Guests loved the Tri-tip.

Ribeye on the Kamado Joe

I know it looks a little dark but it wasn’t burnt I swear 😂 that being said, how does everyone avoid flare ups when grilling fatty cuts like ribeye?

I keep vacuum this and it comes back. I also tried filter aid.

Hi everyone, months ago I had the water turn green and I took care of it but the result was some dead algae at the bottom of the pool.

I’ve tried vacuuming probably 5+ times already and after 1-2 days it comes back to the bottom of the pool. Last time I was told to add some filter aid (cellulose) in the skimmer and that might have helped a bit but again, can’t get rid of a few tiny piles at the bottom of the pool.

I wish I could vacuum to waste but I don’t have that option.

Any miracle solution please?

PS: yes I’m sure the algae is dead.

Brisket flat Pastrami and Reuben

This was so incredibly delicious and my only regret was smoking such a small amount of meat. Next time I might have to do a full brisket.
