Oil Pump bodies

[Chris Haynes]

We are in need of three 1941-1945 Knucklehead oil pump bodies. These are the ones where the housing for the check ball spring gets smaller as it gets close to the main part of the body.

I have something like that in my stash, I'm not sure if it's exactly the same though, it's hard to tell from the picture. If you want I'll e-mail you a picture of it, it's not complete but a lot of it's there.

[Jerry Wieland]

Chris's picture is actually a 1941 early 1942 pump. Later 1942 and up has the primary oil adjustment screw angling up at 45 degrees instead of horizontal.

[Chris Haynes]

Agreed Jerry. That is the only photo I had that showed the check ball spring area. Actually both the '40/'41 and the '42/'45 are needed. I have lots of the later Knuck and Pan bodies.
Here is the other pump body we need.

Chris, I checked in Palmers book and the one I have isn't what you are looking for.

chris i have about 15 or so but i'm really busy. will try to get time to go through them. i know i have one or two with the straight screw. how many of each do you need? i think they are all complete and oily or nearly so. i'd like to just send them to you and heve you look them over and make me an offer if that's ok. maybe we can do some trading too. email or call me but i probably won't be on here again for a while. just don't have time anywore.

Along with the straight in screw they need to the check ball & sprong barrell that gets smaller as it meets the body. The pumps where the barrell stays the same size are for 1946'/47.

The ones we are looking for aren't listed in Palmer's.

We need everything we can find. BTW cover plates with damaged nipples are just fine.
