440 tool box

Thanks for the link !

Greg H.
On the Big Skirt 4 of 1940 the tool box was mounted below the exhasut pipe on the rear fender.
It is a different tool box and lock then the one used on the Chief. Turned 90 degrees off of the Chief tool box, with a hinged lid opening the End of the box. I don't recall if lid was leading, openning forward or trailing, openning to the rear. Inside of the lid are a pair of clips for holding a wrench.

The lock mechanism is a round, push button type with a key slot in the middle of the push button. It fits thru a round hole in the side of the tool box. That round push button is all that is visable of the lock, the rest of it is hidden inside the box.

Anybody out there have one of those locks ?

I think the new company is trying hard.

I'm currently scanning all of my "Indian News," "Indian" (magazine), and "Pow Wow" for the AMCA. This is slow work. I have a couple of 20s issues and a few 30s issues, and all issues from 1931 to the bitter end with "Pow Wow" in the late 50s.

Howdy William,

Here's one on my crusty old 440 known by Robin and Elmer as the "candy store four" from PA. Still has the dealer decals on the rear fenders, the r/s one right behind that box from the Indian dealer in New Cumberland, PA. Saw police duty before civilianized and then joining a Stanley Steamer in this chap's candy store shaped like Noah's ark built into the side of a mountain.

440 tool box

PRG,

Thanks for the picture. It makes sense that the lid would be at the leading edge, to help keep water out.

The lock mechanism is not a push button as I posted earlier , but a simple rotation to release the lid. The tool box mounts on a pair of brackets that wrap around the frame below, it doesn't require any holes in the fender.

I have seen Restored machines where the tool box is painted to match the fenders.

Again, thanks for the picture. My printed copy will make the search for the Lock easier !
