Thanks


Does Snap On make any Harley specific tools, or sets targeted at Harley work?

I have a 3/8 wench I got at the pawn shop a few yrs. back for a Buck that I believe is a Snap-on with a Harley name has a #of HDX12 and has a date date stamp that looks like S.O.'s 2001. Do these come with a HD? I've always wondered. Check E-Bay etc.. but I'm pretty sure SO did make some. Sorry about the 1st pic. I'll post a better one.

These are not to be used as "tools". They are to be displayed in your Harley Davidson toolbox in your Harley Davidson themed den with you admiring them sipping a Harley Davidson beer in your Harley Davidson robe.

I know you are just pokin' fun at HD's and I don't mind, but did you know that HD's in the early days were designed to drip oil. It was the way they did it back then. They had a lose lube system that oiled the primary chain from the engine to the transmission. It was pressure fed from the main pump and there was a weep hole in the aft bottom side of the primary cover where the oil was suppose to come out. Since the Evo and the Twin-Cam there is no losed lube system and mine doesn't leak or even weep a bit of oil.

On Duo Glides and early Electra Glides they had a full(top&bottom) rear chain guard option because of the mess the chain oiler made.

If you look at old big twin Harley's the ones the had a drip oiler for the primary chain and dropped out to the ground had sheet metal covers. Any big twin Harley the has Aluminum primary covers did not have oil drain holes in the covers the dry sump oil system had a pick up line at the bottom of the cover. Alot of companies make special tools for Harley's but Kent Moore makes the special tools that are in the workshop manual by part numbers. I thought the Harley branded tools s-o sold were first made and handled by Williams division then they moved them over to Bahco division for support.

I got this wrench at a flea market last year. Made by Williams with a Snap-On date code.

In my younger days I had a BSA motorcycle and a few English sports cars. I would worry if I did not see oil on the ground, because that meant it ran out of oil.
