Is this a 29
Hey guys my buddy got this engine a few years ago and I've been storing it at my house so his wife wouldn't see it. I don't know how he acquired it but he's looking to get rid of it now. I see 112-29b on the bottom end and what looks like a patd number ended in 23 on the heads. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Mods please move if I'm in the wrong section https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.hdf...5959455e0.jpeg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.hdf...34e9661a6.jpeg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.hdf...c49618d51.jpeg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.hdf...24440e2a7.jpeg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.hdf...a894f7317.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.hdf...1863e13c9.jpeg |
Early Harley numbering system is - like the 29 would be the first year they used that part and it’s possible depending on the length of time and changes made at some point lets say a 34 was the next and a change in the engine of the same type and size - some parts go until they discontinued it in favor of something else
its a early block the generator is mounted up right on the left side front of the engine - it has a name for that engine but it slips by what they call it right now |
Left side engine block center is the machines serial number - blank off the last couple numbers and picture up what the front numbers of letters are will tell what it actually was
|
All the numbers you have posted are part or casting numbers. We need to see the VIN pad, that will tell the story.

This is the only other number I see stamped on the bottom.

The first picture is your VIN # pad, but with no numbers?!?!?!?
Bottom picture is belly numbers, you should have a matching number on the other half of the case. 1929 it is based on the first two digits. |
He has a hundred year old hot engine lol
|
oem replacement block came blank in that era and the dealer re stamped it when they were not fixable - as far as i now the 20 series engines were never after market re cased - could some one have made one maybe but not likely
its not unrealistic to assume it was bought from a dealer going out of business |
This is a 29 J-D but not a flathead. Still pretty old. 40s were probably the most produced flatheads.
