    Sidecar identification

    Hello, I am trying to find out exactly which application this sidecar frame was for. I can’t make out any numbers on it. I posted this here because I suspect it may be for a JD.

    It is about 19 inches between the mounting plate holes where the leaf springs would go. I don’t see one exactly like this in my parts book.

    The sidecar itself I found a tag on, it’s bottom is rusted out completely and I’m hoping to weld in steel and use this setup on my 31 VL eventually.

    thanks

    JD mounts and the tag appears to be for a 25LT, a standard width J Series sidecar.

      You should be able to find the chassis numbers on top of the axle tube about 4 to 5 inches in from the rear mounting.
      Here's 3 of mine that should give you some idea IMG_20240629_0001.jpg IMG_20240629_0003.jpg IMG_20240629_0002.jpgThe first L denotes a lefthand side fitting sidecar chassis. American chassis numbers will just start with the year numerals.

        Your chassis looks like the wide two person style in the pics.
