Greetings all,

I was digging through a box of stuff looking for a particular piece of stuff and I found this:

Anyone know what this is? (or need it?)

It's a Johnson Rod alright but it is missing the Framus Bushing.

I knew that. How else could it be attached to the ramistator? :roll:

Think we are helping much?

Just how short was the bus you two went to school on?

Mine only had one seat behind the driver...but he was two rows behind the steering wheel. :shock:

OK, I admit I'm a dick...but really. It appears to be from aluminum, a blind bore with a zerk. No bushing in the bore. The handle seems to say "Flap" and the second hole in image three may be a tapped hole for a set screw.

I am confused why you would have a set screw hole to lock the handle on but have a zerk to provide lubrication for something that does not turn.

Sorry, I rode the short bus, remember?

All true - except the part about the set screw hole. There's two holes set up for a #1 taper pin. And there's a part number: 36-52621. Also has a NAA inspection stamp.

That is nothing like I have ever seen on a Harvard 4. Does it have any numbers on it?

Dan Jones · **Posted:** Mon Sep 03, 2007 3:28 pm

Just that part number that I posted.

All you guys are wrong. That's a laptop computer and a fountain pen.
Don't know what that paperweight thingy is.

Handle- Flap Control Rear Harvard Mk.II & IIA, both built in the US I believe. Info from the Harvard illustrated parts manual.

Mk.IIB was built in Canada. Might have had the same handle though.

Harvard 4 has a perpendicular flap shaped feature on the end of the handle that is quite different.
