Hello,
sorry I have to write in English, I do not speak Estonian !
I have a minsk m103 ( 1962 )which needs new gears, gear selectors, gear shaft, and kickstart shafts and levers, Can anyone help ? or tell me where I might get these parts.
If I have to buy the whole engine with the gear and kickstart levers that is also possible. Please help if you can !
many thanks.
mike

Goodmorning Maz, and Kass,
Many thanks for your replies, much appricated.
Firstly to Maz , Thanks for the Osta.ee website I will keep looking on there, its like Estonian EBAY ! do you have ebay in Estonia ?
Now to Kass, Yes I need a man who has these parts, maybe I will need to buy a compleat engine ! What is the Tagadi restauraatorite ? Thanks very much for the drawings of the gears and pictures of the shafts, gears ,and selectors etc. I need to find a workshop manual for the bike, I will keep a look on Osta.ee.
You have BOTH served me well ! I knew that Estonian oldtimer bikers wouldnt let me down !!!
Again very many thanks.
Mike

Goodmorning Kass
I bought the bike here in England, in January, from a man , who bought the bike from another man whos wife is russian, But I do not know them!
It has not yet been registered for the road here in England, and befor I can do that it has to be safety tested by a registered garage for bikes, they will test >>> brakes , lights, suspension, fuel supply ( leeks) tyres , and lots of other stuff. It is this im working on now to get the bike in a condition so it will pass this test.
I Know I need the correct kickstart and gear change levers the ones on there now are not original and are not good the will not tighten on the shaft well.
I think I need new shafts as well and the return spring that "räme sõim" the gear lever back to nutral position, anything else im not yet sure until the engine is stripped down.
In many ways maybe better to buy a compleate engine as long as it has the levers with it.
So im looking on Osta and hydra at the moment and hope to find something.
Regards
mike

Yes. We British used to have gears on the right foot and break on the left, so with BSA bantem they reversed the drawings, and then made all measurments to English sizes, INCHES and fractions of an inch, we also had our own thread sizes, of which there were many, maybe 5 or 6. ! different types. this was to do with number of threads per inch, the pitch ( angel ) of the thread etc etc only in the last 45 or so years we started to use " M " threads.
Also Harley davidson coppied the DKW . Google harley hummer, Suzuki also made a copy and I hered last week the Italians did also !!!
The rain soim ???????? I dont know it translated when i submitted my post, It means anything ????
