The drive gears of Harley-Davidson type 32E generators with three brushes are mounted on the armature shaft with four keyways. They are secured with a cotter pin. Type 32E generators were used until 1957. Gear backlash is adjusted by means of shims of varying thickness between the generator and the engine case.
Generator Gears
Generator gears have either 13 or 14 teeth. All models used 14 tooth gears through 1957. The 1958 to 1969 Panheads and Shovelheads used a 13-tooth gear.
All of the 45’s, K models and Sportster use a 14-tooth gear. 45’s require a built in slinger. The gear mesh on 1957 and earlier models is adjustable. It may be possible to use a 13-tooth gear if the proper gear mesh can be achieved. This will increase the low speed generator output by 66%.
On three brush generators (→1957 the gear is held on with a roll pin. These gears have a hole for the roll pin. On a two brush generator (1958→ the gear is held on with a nut.
