1937 Spare Parts Catalog

[jstraker]

Morning, folks. Looks like I am picking up a 1937 U, and I could use an older spare parts manual. The oldest one I have right now is 1939, I think. I know this is now a 90-year-old book, with maybe few aftermarket reprints, but if anyone has one they would be willing to sell me, or 1938, I'd be grateful. Image is from Robbie Knight (thanks for sharing these, Robbie). I can't read enough to see if they covered the big twin flatheads, but given the early year I would assume they cover everything.

Thanks very much!

I'd go with a repop manual if you are going to be fingering it regularly. An OEM one will likely come apart and get destroyed.

There used to be a nice manual that was printed in Germany. I would think it would still be available.

Great--thanks for the tip, Jerry!

Don't know if this was the contact Jerry referred you to Justin. But, here's a reference anyhow. *Good Luck Justin.

To my knowledge the 1937 has not been reprinted. However 1he reprint 1939 will do everything you need.

The Jan Willem Boon spare parts books appear to be a culmination of several years packed into one large book. One good point is that they're inexpensive. Here's a few on eBaY, reprinted from the old Antique Cycle Supply.
