yea i replayed to it Via forum PM message. .
i have no frame # as of that of its age.
from what ive figured its a 1947
and i have 2 motors.
one is a model M(M22545B) which is the newer engine and the original which is a model H (H15177E)

17

so i was able to fit the 53 engine.it turns out the upper mount was bent down.and i had to bend to fit (and yes i have a mountain bike front wheel )its just to help with the balance. as i still have to get a replacement.

well i have a complete engine. as long as i use the 1953 model M engine.. if i wanted to use the orignal model H motor i would need to rebuild it .as im missing parts.

21
well it may be because its a mixed engine.. its a mix of 47 and 53 engines so i think one is taller due to the changes. but my issue is when i placed my newer 53 engine in the spark plugs hit the tank. in fact i have to replace a plug becuse one got damaged when i was removing it.

22
well what happens ive noticed is since the 1950's motor had a larger diameter crankcase which adds size  compared to the original 1947 engine which has a smaller crank case diameter... .i was not able to fit the 1950's engine into my 1947 frame it hits the tank and does not pass the bracket under the tank

23
well thats good to know for the replacements.
im just happy that the orignal seat is in undamaged and can be used. .
and the damaged rear tire must be orignal becuse i dont think they had repo for it yet in  1975.when my father received this bike and placed it in our crawl space.

24
the motor is set that way becuse ive noticed there is a balance issue with how i have the bike placed. so it falls off.
i have a more complete 1953 motor BUT ive noticed it is taller so i cannot place it on the frame . so im going to have to rebuild the orignal smaller engine.
tho i am amazed that the damaged rear tire is a Servi cycle brand tire. i cant reuse it but its cool non the less. and the seat is still stamped with the company servi cycle logo.

as for the larger bike. that is my fathers 2000 indian chief that he just spend the last 2 years completely redoing and even modifying a 2002 Indian motor .and getting rid of the orignal S&S Harley motor
