Model 50 TV 1930

Well it is older than 1988 so hope this qualifies for cafe Husky....
Something a bit different, some older company for the 4T mx'ers usually populating the shop. Got the Husqvarna Museum to do a dating cert, apparently made in 1929, shipped to distributor in 1930, then back to factory in 1932 for fitting of electric lighting. Not worked on JAP engines before so will be using some expert help. Wonder what a girder/rigid will be like to ride ?

Oh Ho Man I love that bike!! Your a Lucky Man!!

I'm jealous
That would be really nice to oily rag it and just ride it like it is. It's oozing patina. I have a 1949 Whizzer tandem that is totally original and would be sacrilege to restore that.

Lovely bike , must agree with Grouty, oily rag and ride her! If you live in Great Britain help and info on JAP engines will not be too hard to find.

Hi Grouty, ready for the new season ? Yep, totally agree on the Mod 50. Quite a few mechanical repairs will be needed I think based on initial inspection. Went to see Ewan Cameron last week, impressive JAP specialist and will be taking the complete motor to him for overhaul and test run. Have also found a good place to overhaul the girder forks (dodgy weld repair, plus worn bushes…). Will try to leave the rest as is just get it sound and safe to ride. First job was mounting oil tank, ever heard of UNS threads… 1/4 x 24tpi…neither had I.

Yeah, all ready Steve. See you at the first one in Somerset ??
1/4-24 is a bit of an odd one. Standard is 1/4-28. I think the 24 tpi is an American one.
The 1/4 UNS goes from 24 to 56 TPI !!! Taps and dies are readily available though.

So I found out, Unified Special. UNF is 28, BSF is 26 and UNC 20. Yes I found a 24 UNS tap at Tracey Tools. New nuts made on my very old lathe.
Kilmington yes we are enterered, will do North Nibley week before.
