Seat T Identification

#1

Post by 58bob »

I have a seat T that came off a 59 Pan but I can't identify it.....no numbers apart from a '1' and what looks like the letter 'C'
It also had the 3/8 front bush with a 5/16 bolt in it so none of that adds up.
I have added a few pics so if anyone can identify it I would be very happy, thanks.

Original tee have xe-39 or 51912-35 casting number.
My guess is reproduction or post panhead.

There are two bushings, one inside the other, you are missing one.

I'm not sure I've ever seen one with that much bend before, either.

Thanks for the reply guys, I did suspect it was post pan, early shovel, I think they didn't have casting numbers, but it does have some identifying marks.
That makes me think its not a repo, they have no marks at all and the patina says its old.
Also it had the 3/8" bolt bush which also places it in the later version, '66 and up?? Not familiar with those years.
The friend I got it off also had an earlier xe39 version so i will go back and compare the two.
