What part is 929550A.? Correct answer wins a new 903010----------Clarence

Parts Listing for the 92A???
I know, I know, there wasn't such a thing. Or was there?

But what part is it? correct answer wins a new condenser, free shipping. --------- Clarence

Is that the part number for a parts list for a 100 B+?
Mike Hawkins

If you go with the basis that 92550B is a parts list for the 100B, the 92550A would be for the 100A, if it ever existed.

Is if the part # for the Ace 100 parts manual? Not the service manual, just the parts list? Victor

Although I can't verify it, I suspect it might be the # for the special tool for installing the snap ring on the end of the control shaft.

part # 929550A ..... part description says,,, parts list NLA.... which is described as ... parts that appear for NLA or USE parts are those applicable when that part was active...not sure if its a part, just a description or a clarification, maybe...i do have photo documentation to back up my guess........albert

Tool kit?

The exact answer comes from the February 1, 1970 Hodaka price list that was included in the hodaka dealer guide page 35.

Don't worry about it, keep it, may need a favor down the road, square up then.

Clever Thrown! And Clarence - sneaky way to return to the mythical 100A conundrum.

Yup, Clarence seems to enjoy a bit of prodding others on occasion.

As mentioned in the book, there were infrequent references to "100A" back in the day, but my own memories and comments from every PABATCO employee I interviewed about ACE models confirm that no one used the reference "Ace 100A". And historic PABATCO/Hodaka factory documents use the reference very infrequently. So, there is a sort of schizophrenic situation where there are rare references to a "100A", but no common agreement of what a "100A" might be. Certainly there were production batches from Ace 100, through Ace 100B and Ace 100B+, but no clear and accepted definition of an Ace 100A. Please note this quote from the book, "Also, the Owner's Manual and several printed brochures clearly state that the Model 92A is the Ace 100B." (Inconsistent records are apparently the gift that keeps on giving )


Clarence got me once a few years back with a post about the Hodaka Maverick. I objected, stating that no such thing existed . . . and he posted a scan of an advertisement touting the Hodaka Maverick! So far as I can tell, the only ad ever put out with that reference (and you won't find "Maverick" in any PABATCO/Hodaka production records).

i'll happily concede , but what does this mean

I'll take one of those 9301500 std pistons for $8.70 please...

As to the question, "What does this mean?" It means there was a problem with someone somewhere at either Hodaka or PABATCO who used an "A" reference regarding the Ace 100 series (perhaps only once) - which then got picked up and repeated (rarely) on other printed goods. I recall a black 3-fold brochure with orange text which had an "A" part number - but clearly described a "B" model (and I think even contained the phrase "Ace 100B" in the text!)

Ossa were you a dealer? I would discount the retail bringing the price to $3.35 plus today's shipping cost, let me know. Clarence/ready to send plus a new set of clutch savers
