Took a while to work out what you were doing measuring the end float, had to watch it two times but I got there. Nice job and well done on the home made tools. Great work
Another awesome video, seriously enjoy watching you build this engine and share all your tricks, keep up the great content can’t wait for the next one!
Good simple stuff. I have a 1988 hugger 883 kitted to 1200. Where do you get all the bearings from for a total rebuild. Is there a kit or buy separately.
You should have bought a extra bearing and use a sanding drum on a drill or die grinder and sand the ID so the setup bearing slides over the shaft. When you get the proper end play then press the other bearing on. Been doing this for rear differential pinion gears for years. Just use the same brand bearing.
You should watch Tatro Machine on RUclips. He is very educational about Sportster and Harley engines. You seem to be doing good. Much very good information on RUclips about rebuilding Sportster engines. I'm rebuilding a 1972 XLCH now.
Harley want you to buy some expensive tools, or get one of their engineers to do the work for you. I just try to find a work around for these "specialist" or "bespoke" tools that you apparently can't do the work without. Appreciate the comment 🖤
Hope you put the spacer between those two bearings..... Cuz when you tighten down the sprocket shaft it's going to destroy that bearing and perhaps the case. It comes matched to the bearings.... End play on that shaft doesn't mean anything until you tighten the sprocket on the primary side... 😮

If you heat the inner race of the first bearing you put on the bearing will slide right down to it's seat.
That's a great idea. Il try that next time. Thanks for the comment. 🖤
Try putting the in the freezer they will shrink just enough to put it in

Nice work mate

That makes perfect sense. Will remember that for if I have to do it again. Thanks for the comment. 🖤
Nice work
Thanks. Appreciate the comment. 🖤
Put the crank in the freezer and heat the bearing up and it will fall in place.

Thanks for the comment. All spacers were installed where needed. All measured to tolerance.
Why bother, it’s a rattling tractor, nothing can change that 😂😂😂😂😂. Good work though 👍
Haha. Very industrial machinery. Hope you enjoyed it though. 🖤🦾
