For the desert campaign in Africa the US Army contracted with both HD and Indian to build a motorcycle with telescoping forks, rear suspension and a drive shaft. It was 1949 before HD put a telescoping front fork, 1958 for a rear suspension and never a drive shaft on civilian production motorcycle.

I had the same problem, it was the plastic line from the hand pump to the engine pump. I removed the line & put a brass plug in the pump, no more problems.

I have 2 817s, I cleaned out an old 5 acre pond on my farm 2 years ago, hauled out almost 700 loads. Now with the deeper water its holding up good this summer. Since then I crank them monthly.

Just completed donating. I need as much info as you can provide to help me obtain a correct SF 97, I don't know the manufactory or year of MFG of either truck. Also I would like to know as much history that is avaliable.

3 KW Gen

I have two of them and several years ago I tried to run my 220 volt deep well pump off of one. It would pump until the pump recycled with head pressure, then the Generator's circult breaker would trip. The same...

As for your funds being tied up, GL will send you a e-mail advising you and you'll have 5 days to pay. I think this happens often. My credit card was rejected because of the expiration date. I received a new credit card between the dates of the auction and my EUC clearing.

I had the same problem, mine turnrd out to be the fuel system was sucking air through the primer pump. I disconnect the lower line under the dash and pluged it with a brass fitting. This solved my problem.
