  • 45" Gearbox Side Cover Conversion

    Can the 45" Gearbox Side cover (p/n 34821-41, casting # 33-41; see photos) w/ steel blind bushing (in counter shaft location) for electric start be easily converted to kick start (i.e. remove the steel bushing and install a bronze through bushing for the kicker arm)?
    Thanks,

    William,
    It can be done, but I'm not sure if I'd recommend it. The cover for the kicker trannys protrudes approx. 5/8" more on the outside in the area where the bushing would fit, providing more support for the countershaft. I have plenty of the correct covers, I'm sure I could spare one. PM me if your interested.

      Ralph,
      Thanks for the intell. I've read more in Palmer's and asked a few local friends. The friends say no to the mods and mentioned the kicker boss/protrusion off the cover face as needed support.

        William,
        What did you intend to do inside the case where it is not machined for the tripper bolts and kicker gear?

          Robbie,
          A friend is locating parts for a 42 wla build and I wondered if this (his) cover could be converted for kicker use - this was my intent. He has the '41-'63 3-bolt case (old # 2258-41 / new # 34702-41 w/ casting # 121-41) and it was determined the collected parts do not worked together. Does anyone have a photo of the '64 & later electric case from the gear side (since I'm use to OHV scoots & palmer's only discusses up to '63)? I'd like to compare this case to the electrics - just for my knowledge!
          Thanks,
          William
