Making new 430/500 auto 1st clutch springs

[everfree]

The best thing is to check with the parts lists between 430 ae and 500 ae.
The main thing I know is the shaft where there are brass shoes , is longer
on 500 ae than on 430 ae.

500 ae page 108 to 128

The freewheels différents parts N° but have the same size.
I think you can put 1st clutch drum , shoes , and springs on
your 430 ae.
Anyway, when there's a new part, there's a N in front of the part number
in the parts list.

Michel, thanks for the info. I'll look through the parts lists. Maybe create a reference spreadsheet of part numbers vs. the models (420,500, 430)...

The first gear drum and shoes seem the same between the 430 and 500. The crank stub is longer on the 500 hence the stuff associated with that are different. The 500 appears to use the same crank stub as the 420 (which has bronze shoes). The 430 has one needle bearing while the 500 has two on that crank stub. It would to me appear the second and third gear stuff is the same. Some or all of the one way clutches have two per speed where the earlier ones only had one. I suspect those one way clutches which most likely are going to be what is eventually needed as a spare are the same.

If possible some how that centrifugal clutch on the crankshaft should be balanced. I can see some drilling on the original stuff. That taper on the end of the crank can kind of fuse. Maybe spun balanced like a tire as that stub and the taper it fits to definitely can go bad and unlike the transmission can not be removed cassette style.

Michael you actually have these springs to sell?

Thanks fran...k,. Yes, I would think 2nd and 3rd gear stuff is the same 500 vs 430. Its the 1st gear stuff that gets the abuse so Husky probably made changes.

Michel,
I'm a noobie to the forum. Was directed here by a fellow vintage racer. I have an '87 430 that I would love to ride, and would feel a lot more comfortable doing so if I had some spare parts, specifically first gear springs! Do you still have any available? Is so what would be the cost and how would I go about it? My email is captainvette@comcast.net if you'd like to contact me directly.
Thanks, Lamar

Michel,
I have a 85 500 AE lower end (no cylinder, no head). All springs and shoes are good.
Will any 500 AE parts work on a 86 430 AE? Springs no, clutch shoes?, drum?

I ask because I just bought a 86 430 AE. It runs good. I'm looking for spare parts. Here it is:

I have an '84 500 AE that is missing everything on the mainshaft (including the shaft itself). I recently bought a complete '86 430 AE from a guy in California. I don't know what's wrong with it, but it's not a 'runner.' I was of course considering grafting all of the 430 parts into the 500, but perhaps you and I could make a mutually beneficial trade(?). You can reach me at home (I'm retired) on 253-277-2514 (Kent, WA). Let me know.

Tx,

Cool, Carl.
I had a running 500 AE that I sold. What a beast. The 500 lower end I have is a spare I had.
Yes, lets talk. I'll give you a ring.
