These
are the recommended changes to the FIRST edition of Indian
Motorcycle Restoration Guide, 1932-1953. Near the lower
right corner of the front cover is a white cough-drop-shaped field about
3/8 inch wide and 1/4 inch high, and in the field is a black letter or
letters. If there's a single letter "M" in the field, yours is a
first edition. If there's three letters "MBI" in the field, yours
is a second edition. Go here
for the changes to the SECOND edition.
Unfortunately, the stocks of first and
second printings are intermingled at the publisher, so you can't order
a second printing. The publisher gave me a maximum of 20 pages on which
changes could be made. The second printing has 16 corrections spread over
16 pages, plus three photo changes on 3 separate pages. That's 19
changes, the way the publisher keeps score. Unfortunately, the publisher
neglected to print the 20th changed page, which was a listing of pen and
ink changes the reader was advised to make elsewhere in the book. Since
the 20th intended change page was pretty busy, that means that holders
of second-printings have less than half the intended updates.
A BIG THANK YOU TO ROBIN MARKEY, for without
his expertise during preparation of the book, it could never have been
written. NONE of the errors are of his making.
A BIG THANK YOU TO ROBERT WINTERS of Springfield,
Pennsylvania. Bob uncovered many of the errors, including almost
all errors applicable to the 30.50 ci twins.
A BIG THANK YOU TO ROGER HENSLEY of Atlanta,
Georgia, for additional information on 1950 and 1951 police Chiefs with
large generators and resulting special frames.
A BIG THANK YOU TO ELMER LOWER, STEVE
JOHNSTON, and PETE SINK for their help in adding the colors for 1936 and
1937.
These recommended changes include error
corrections and new material. There are 46 insignificant errors,
consisting of figure reference deletions in cases where one or more other
figure references are correct. There are 208 significant errors.
There are over 15,000 data entries in the
book; details on request. Without corrections, the book is 98.3 percent
accurate on the basis of all errors; it is 98.6 percent accurate on the
basis of significant errors. If all the suggested changes are made,
the accuracy is close to 100 percent.
To make the corrections
and additions easier and faster: download the material, change the font
to small type, adust the margins of each separate correction as necessary,
print, then cut and paste. The following word processing format works
well: 9-point Arial type, top margin = 1 inch, bottom margin = 0.75 inch;
left margin = 1 inch; right margin = 0.75 inch; two-column "newspaper format",
left column width = 3.375 inches, width between columns = 0.25 inch, right
column width = 3.375 inch. Insert space-bar commands as necessary
to avoid splitting portions of entries between pages or columns (except
when sometimes preferrable on long entries or based on the space available
in the book area where the entry is made). When typed in this style,
the cut and paste entries are the same width as the columns in the
book. Manipulate the material, i.e., remove information describing the
location of the entry and insert as necessary space-bar commands, and you
can print and tape the entries neatly in the recommended areas.

you wish to replicate the second printing content, make a photo copy of
the existing Figure 189 and tape the photo (without title and caption)
on page 92. Label the photo "Figure 109B, 1938-1939 headlight.
Enter "Note the head lamp bracket (FN 75171), which is shown in sales literature.
This bracket was used on all 1938-1939 Chiefs and Fours." Draw a

PAGE 174: There's
lots of room on page 174, and you will need it to post the following added
information, courtesy of Roger Hensley, and it is an almost exact quote
of his e-mail messages on this subject to the Starklite list. 1950
and 1951 police Chiefs with the large generator (not all police Chiefs)
have a special frame. The generator was made by American Generator
& Armature Co., and was not a special unit for Indian. It was rated
at 25 amps. It has a cooling fan on the pulley end which requires
a cut-back in the upper flange of the belt guard. The commutator
end was open, and Indian part #333,013 was used as a cover. The battery
was made by C&D, their part number UV-37. It was rated at 45
amp-hours. With this setup, the regulator, Autolite VRR-4001-B, was
mounted on the chain guard. The two main clues to the special frames
are the tilt-up to the kicker spring anchor - it is horizontal on standard
machines, and the spacing of the lower frame cross piece, which is one
inch farther back than on standard frames. (A battery tray from a
standard machine will just fall through the gap.) It is also longer
cross-wise to compensate for the "spread" of the frame. Its front
edge
is actually behind the lower
lip of the rear fender. One of the best tips to identifying most
348-351 police frames is that they used rear wheel drive speedometers as
Indian Stuart-Warner units had no provision or a maximum speed hand.
This required frame modification at the factory when the order was placed.
See Contact Points #756, 12-8-47, for details. Because of the lower
mounting of the battery tray, which is not the same as on regular machines,
the standard center stand would not fit. As a result, the Engineering Parts
List calls for use of the 1940 to 1945 Chief stand - the one with the latch
- with the addition of two "blocks" either brazed or welded to the bottom.
As for the rear fender, the front end is flattened (this refers to the
battery bulge) and blended all around, for additional clearance for the
large battery. Also, two holes are added for mounting Center Stand
Latch Assembly #42906. The battery "frog" for the taller battery
was a block of pine, painted black! If you have a standard frame 46-51,
the spacing from the rear of the frame casting (down where the battery
bolts go), to the REAR of the lower cross brace is approximately 5.0 inches.
In the special frame, the distance is again 5.0 inches but it is from the
rear of the frame casting to the FRONT of the lower cross brace.
With the rear fender in place (on the special frame), the front of the
lower cross brace is behind the bottom front edge of the fender.
The battery tray on the special is different from the standard version.

"This illustration shows two of the three general styles issued under varying
factory numbers (not all details known). Left: short- nosed bucket
or "full pan" saddle with so-called open-edges construction in which the
saddle top was sewed to a separate leather section riveted under the metal
saddle base (pan). With the open-edges construction a knife (careful!)
can be inserted between the upper and lower leather sections without cutting
the leather. This construction was available on 1932-1937 models.
Right: long-nosed bucket or "full pan" saddle with narrower and longer
nose (pommel) and roll-over edge, plus thicker saddle padding. This
saddle features the top leather section completely "rolled" (molded over)
the saddle padding and metal saddle base, so that along the sides of the
saddle there is no exposed or "open" edge. This style was available
on 1940 and later models. Not shown: the intermediate style, which
was a long-nosed open- edge saddle available on 1938-1939 models.

Note 132: "Sales literature falsely implies the full-color indian-head
tank decals were new for the 1939 season. Note 80 confirms, by photograph
references, the availability of full-color indian-head tank decals on 1938-
models. This note further confirms the availability of full- color
indian-head tank decals on late-1937 models. New tank decals with
full-color indian-head (FN 75053 and FN 75054) appear in the 1936-1937
parts book, but do not appear in the 1936 (only) parts book supplement,
the last number being FN 74958 (FN 75000 appears in "Contact Points" Number
458 dated April 1936). Conclusion: The full-color decals were offered
on late-1937 models.

frame, FN 92640, for the Standard Scout and Chief. However, the 1936-1937

1939. Conclusion: extension-spring saddles were available through
1939 even though all frames were built for seatpost use."

is a #2622 Scarlet listed that I am sure is the same. Some years
