Speedometer cable and drive gear

[BobWolterbeek]

I'm looking to buy a speedometer cable and drive gear (the little gear that the cable attaches to at the transmission) for my 1953 Henry-J with overdrive. Is there any place to buy these new? If not, does anyone have them used for sale? Thanks, Bob

Hi Bob, that's a tough one. It's the one with 18 teeth. I know Walck's 4WD listed one on their site with no picture. I think they may have removed it from their catalog but give it a try. They're at http://walcks4wd.com/drive-gear-speedometer-6-226-s.html

Bob, I know this is an old thread but I thought I'd post this on here as I found a source for the speedometer cable drive gear (pinion). 
I too was looking for one and found this one on ebay so I bought it -

It was brand new in a Willys box which has it listed as Willys part number 644464. I compared it to my Henry J gear and it's an exact match.  I went to Walck's 4WD Jeep site  at
http://walcks4wd.com/
and searched for that part number. It comes up as "Speedometer Gear 18T" so it looks like it's available there.

If you still need one, give it a try. I know this one was a tough part because people pull the cable out, the gear falls off, and it's gone. Good to have a source for this now. A bit pricey but what else are you gonna do if you need one?
