Great Depression

 

The Great Depression began a few months after the introduction of its model 45 cubic inches. Sales of Harley-Davidson fell from 21,000 in 1929 to 3.703 in 1933. Despite those figures depressing, Harley-Davidson proudly unveiled its lineup for 1934 which included a flathead with Art Deco style.

To survive the rest of the Depression, the company manufactured industrial electric based on their motorcycle engines. He also designed and built a delivery vehicle with three wheels called the Servi-Car , which remained in production until 1973.

Harley-Davidson WL

In the mid-1930s, Child, Alfred Rich opened a production line in Japan with the 74 cubic inches (to 1,210 cc) VL. The japanese license holder, Sankyo Seiyako Corporation, broke down its business relations with Harley-Davidson in 1936 and continued manufacturing the virtual lab under the Rikuo name.

Harley-Davidson dealer in Texas, ca. 1930-1945

A person of 80 cubic inches (1.300 cc) of the engine flat head was added to the line in 1935, at which time the motorcycles monocilíndricas had been interrupted.

In 1936, the models 61E and 61EL with the "Knucklehead" OHV engines was introduced. problems valve train in the first engines Knucklehead requires a redesign half of their first year of production and the modernisation of the valve train in the engines of new previous.

Before 1937, all of the engines of Harley-Davidson flat head were equipped with the systems of dry-sump recirculating oil similar to the one presented in the "Knucklehead" OHV engine. The revised 74 cubic inches (to 1,210 cc) V and VL were renamed models U and UL, the 80 cubic inches (up to 1,300 cc) VH and BBA to be renamed UH and ULH, and the 45 cubic inches (740 cc) R to change the name W.

In 1941, the 74 cubic inches (to 1,210 cc) "Knucklehead" was introduced as the F and the FL . The 80 cubic inches (1.300 cc) flat-head and models UH ULH were discontinued after 1941, while the 74 "U & UL flathead models were produced up to 1948.

One of the only two american manufacturers of cycle to survive the Great Depression , Harley-Davidson again produced large numbers of motorcycles for the US Army in the Second World War and resumed production civil after, producing a range of large V-twin motorcycles that were successful both on racetracks and for private buyers.

Harley-Davidson, on the eve of the Second World War, it supplied the Army with a military version specific to its 45 cubic inches (740 cc) of the line WL, called the WLA . (In this case meaning "Army"). Already at the beginning of the war, the company, along with most of the manufacturing companies, he went to work war. More than 90,000 motorcycles to the military, mostly WLAs and WLCs (the canadian version) would be produced, many to be provided to allies. [30] Harley-Davidson received two awards 'And' Army-Navy , one in 1943 and one in 1945, which were awarded for Excellence in Production.

Shipments to the Soviet Union under the lend-Lease program numbered at least 30,000 people. The WLAs produced during all four years of war production generally have 1942 serial numbers. Production of the WLA stopped at the end of the Second World War, but was resumed from 1950 to 1952 for use in the Korean war .

The U.S. Army also asked Harley-Davidson to produce a new motorcycle with many of the features of BMW's side valve and shaft driven R71. Harley copied the BMW engine and transmission and produced the shaft driven 750 cc 1942 Harley-Davidson XA . This does not share dimensions, components, and number of design concepts (except side valve) with any prior Harley-Davidson engine. Due to the superior cooling of the flat-twin engine with the cylinders across the frame, the heads XA cylinder Harley ran 100 ° F (56 ° C) cooler than its V-twins. [31] The XA never entered full production: the motorcycle by that time had been eclipsed by the Jeep as the vehicle for general use of the Army, and the WLA-already in production-was sufficient for its police limited, escort and messaging features. Only 1,000 were made and the XA never entered full production. Remains the only shaft-driven Harley-Davidson ever made.
