hey guys the year transmission is 1965-1969..... hope it fits right in my 76 fxe, thanks for info
It will bolt in but don't think the mainshaft is long enough I believe the 65 -69 was a hair shorter that the 70 and later, part numbers are different.
its a shaft change is all you need to do - 70 to 84 shaft is all the same - the case number is the same one seen all the way into the 70 up shaft that number is the start of electric start case not 1965 as the year

I didn't think it anything to do with E-start...I believe the Output shaft on the Generator bottom shovel is Shorter...My '68 was anyway...and of course it was e-start only...
numbers are E7253 and 34703-65 on it, after some Monday quarterbacking I believe it is 1969? and may not work... wtf
Mainshaft length
1937-1964 = 11-3/4"
1965-1969 = 12"
1970-1983 = 12-1/2"
The E7253 is an anti-theft code number. The 34703-65 is a generic cast number they used on cases from 65-76. There should be another case number on the bottom or top maybe by the kicker side, a letter followed by number(s)
What makes you think it is a 69 tranny?

The Generator bottom Shovel had it's own Mainshaft...reflecting the shorter output shaft on the engine...The Cone bottom Shovels all take the same mainshaft.
Your driveline will Not line up if you mix and Match....
Best bet is to get the correct Tranny, plenty of guys out there with generator Bottoms to Help ya Out!!!
