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.

The drive gears of the two-brush generators used on Harley-Davidson V-twin models from 1958 onward are secured with a nut. In addition to being positively located on the shaft, this design also transfers the drive force via the oil slinger to the right armature bearing.

Just as on the earlier three-brush generators used on Harley-Davidson Twin models, the later two-brush generator fitted to Panhead, Sportster, and early Shovel engines also uses an oil deflector to prevent oil from working its way past the bearing and seal into the interior of the generator. Oil-soaked brushes and commutators not only stop the charging system from working properly, they usually make a generator overhaul necessary as well.

Excellent reproduction of the generator drive gears for Harley-Davidson Sportster and Duo or early Electra Glide models. Fits two-brush generators, 6 or 12 V.

The classic look of the 32E generator and the more dependable technology of the later two brush generator - you can have the best of both worlds with these The Cyclery 32TC powerplants. On the outside they sport the typical 32E features like rounded brush covers with slotted hardware, riveted-on terminal plate and a bicolor, cast iron/aluminum housing. The inside, however, hides all the bullet-proof tech features of the later 58/65A generators, manufactured for us by Cycle Electric, USA.
