Great video ol chap. Is that a V Twin case??? If not, where did you source it

[@itsmytimeletsgo]

I got it from one of my suppliers who has a lot of stuff from V Twin. I suspect that might be the source it came from. Old chap? You turning British on us now? ha ha Thanks for the comment Hip.

[@hippieschoppercorner]

@itsmytimeletsgo lol I actually have a Vtwin case that I used colony hardware and Andrews gears and it's my best transmission man. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

It's always nice to watch you morking. It's all looking to be easy and going all straight. How much could it cost if you have to do the same thing for a client??

[@itsmytimeletsgo]

Thanks. It all depends on what is needed for the Trans that reflects the cost and one never knows what that is until you are in there so hard to say. Thanks for commenting.

Man that was awesome love that new case very good content

Love what you do my friend when I was a kid I always wanted to build me a Harley Davidson that was during the late 70s and early 80s now I’m 62 and my body is shot just a lot of hard work mechanic and digging and industrial electrician work not complaining I enjoyed my life as much as I could thank you like I love your channel keep it up my friend

[@itsmytimeletsgo]

We are all getting older and our bodies are showing are age. I realize that, now turning 70, that we are no longer "bullet proof" lol. Glad you are enjoying the channel and Thanks for commenting.

Loving all your videos so far Ralph, I also like the look of the trike in the background, don’t know if you’ve done any trike stuff but I’ll keep watching. Thanks.

[@itsmytimeletsgo]

Thanks. Hoping to get it at more this winter. I did build my latest trike "The Black Pearl" and have some info on it on my channel. If you are into trikes you might enjoy some of it. Thanks for commenting.

[@jamesnorman7552]

@@itsmytimeletsgo thanks Ralph, I’ll check them out.

[@thedieselpig4448]

Great video. Looking forward to the install. I’m having issues getting things lined up on my 82. See ya next week!

[@itsmytimeletsgo]

Hopefully next weeks video may be helpful for lining up your primary. Thanks for the support. Thanks for commenting.

[@thedieselpig4448]

I look forward to it. I have the primary aligned. I had to file the slots on the plate and move the trans towards the inner. Now my drive sprockets don’t line up. I hope you don’t have the same issue for your project, really appreciate your videos. If you were closer, I’d ask for you to have a look. Not many shovel guys in my area. I’m learning to check and double check everything. Just not used to the solution when it won’t line up.

[@itsmytimeletsgo]

@@thedieselpig4448 The only thing I might add, in that situation, is to loosen up the motor mounts and trans mounts, then bolt the two to the primary. Motor 4 bolts first, then the trans. Often when the motor is not lossened up it can be out of line, thus pulling the primary on an angle to begin with. Just a suggestion and you might have done this already but throwing it out there anyway. Good luck.

Nice video

Ralph new to your channel. Glad you are giving a thumbs up to the V Twin reproduction case. Good job teaching us about the cowpie. 2 Comments: Cowpie compared to rachet top what can you tell us? Also I know Taiwan Ted parts are sometimes all you can get your hands on so kudos to T.T. for sourcing a cowpie case.

[@itsmytimeletsgo]

Welcome to the channel. Hope you enjoy it. Both have their pros and cons. Ratchet top is better if you are going stick shift. We work with what we can get, unless you have an unlimited budget. Thanks for commenting.

[@tld522]

Yes I understand... Put it in a box and mail it to you so you can fix it right..lol😂

[@itsmytimeletsgo]

Thats the ticket lol. Thanks for commenting Tbone.

[@Billy-703]

Great video! Agreed never had a genuine James gasket leak on me?! Gasket sealer is goopy stuff? Many people swear by it?! Do you run gasket & sealer? More the marry-er? Don’t have much experience with the long term? James gaskets only: have been working thus far? Any need for sealer or just to hold gasket in place while bolting on housings? I also agree with NOT batching thread locker on bolts to easy to miss one turning a 20minute job into 2 20minute jobs + burning off thread locker to re-apply? Pain for sure!? Slow and steady! Haha Great videos THANKS!

[@itsmytimeletsgo]

I have always had good luck with James gaskets and am not much for sealers. I do use it in a few spots sometimes to hold it in place when installing. Yes putting bolts back in that have old thread locker on them can create problems so I wire wheel each and every bolt when I am installing them again. Glad you are enjoying the channel and find it helpful. Thanks for commenting.

Purchase a retreading kit. Please investigate. 🙏🏼They are not taps and dies in the normal sense

[@itsmytimeletsgo]

Thanks for the info, and commenting.

[@thomaskirkpatrick4031]

Where did you get a brand new case, and how much did it cost?

[@itsmytimeletsgo]

I got it from one of my distributors. It is an aftermarket case so not sure of manufacture, I think it may be a V twin replica case. They cost about $700.00 CDN up here with taxes in. You use what you can get, or afford, as we all know today. Thanks for commenting.

[@thomaskirkpatrick4031]

@@itsmytimeletsgo wow. That's a lot cheaper than I thought. Thanks Ralph.
