Description
The Indian Motocycle Manufacturing Co. began producing motorcycles in 1901 and quickly became the world's largest manufacturer. During WWII, Indian's Chief, Scout and Junior Scout models were drafted into service, with the Model 340 / 74 Military Chief being adopted by the Army in October 1941. This handbook, an exact copy of the original 1940 edition, provides valuable insights into the maintenance and care of the Model 340 / 74 Military Chief. Indian produced over 33,000 motorcycles during WWII, but the company emerged from the conflict in financial trouble. Production was seriously curtailed by 1949, and the company ceased operation in 1953. This original maintenance handbook is a wonderful asset for collectors, docents, and enthusiasts of Indian motorcycles. With its detailed instructions and illustrations, this handbook offers a unique glimpse into the history of Indian motorcycles and their role in military service.
