    Saying hello and some question

    First off let me say hello to the club.
    I just picked up a 28 JD motor that is fair condition but missing some parts. I'm trying to get my hand on some shop and service manuals for the JD motor itself. So I can find out what I have and also what I'm missing. I'm also looking for reliable parts sources and services. I will try to be as helpful as I can. I'm located in the Detroit aera.Thanks for letting through the door.

    Welcome Dale,
    That's a little early for me to give qualified help. I suggest you visit
    We are a motorcycle shop, a manufacturer and a mail order parts house dealing in American motorcycles from 1903 to present. While specializing in the 1930 - 1936 models

    Good luck with your project.
    Bob

      Welcome!

      Welcome, Dale. You'll be able to find anything you need for your JD. Here's one: Competition Distributing, Sturgis, SD. Phone 605-720-1903. It's also vendor 'flyingbanana" on Ebay.
      There are other sources, too, for just about everything JD. If you have the $$$ and a little patience, it's about as easy as putting together a present-day bike. It's all being remade in repop.
      Another good source for information is:



      That's a bunch of people from all walks of life just into old Harleys and Indians. It's pretty congenial and well-controlled, like this forum, just a little different.
      Either here or there, if you ask a question, you're pretty well assured of having a response within about 24 hours from someone who knows what they're talking about.

        Hello Dale,

        You'd be welcome at the Yahoo J/JD Forum http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/harleyjd/
        which as the name implies caters solely for the J's & JD's.

        Kind Regards,

        Martin
