Which one to choose for the creeper gear install--Vote?
 

I have only 2 creeper gears, one installed on my completely restored 1000 and one rebuilt and set up for a NF. I would like to put it in one of the following: I have a partially restored original and a workman's original and a workman's 73. The 73 needs some immediate clutch work (teaser spring went to pieces). So, should my remaining creeper go in an original or my 73--which is scheduled for a restore next summer?

Thanks for your time and consideration of my situation.

I picked the 73 simply because I think itd be of better use on it...also original creeper tend to be pricey. To bad ya could get ahold of a nine speed that would be awsome

If I understand your question, you want to put a NF creeper in either an "O" or a 73. There is only one choice as a NF creeper will not work in an "O". :bigthink:

Same as Jon said. I voted the 73 cause a standard NF creeper gear will not fit the original. Original creeper gears are rare and if found are pricey.

Yep,
I think you answered your own question since the creeper will only fit in one of the cubs. :beerchug:

Thanks fellas! I suspected that but did not know. I may be in the market for an O creeper gear. Looks like the 73 will be the recipient. Now I am eager to get to my restoration of it. Someone else had white round fenders on a cub and I really liked the clean look of how that looked (sorry, I don't remember whose cub that was or I would give them credit for that neat idea!).

Thanks for taking time to respond to my thread and educating me on the creeper gear!

excellent choice....I'm glad that is all cleared up now.
I would've personally chose option 3 though and said it should go on my 100
oh well, Life goes on have a good thanksgiving!
