Intermediate wheel spindle
The spindle the intermediate timing gear rides on in the crankcase, part number 70-0375 (also known as E375).
This is the intermediate wheel spindle, part number 70-0375, also carried in older parts books under the E375 designation. It shows up in the crankcase section of the parts catalog, which is where the intermediate timing gear rides on its own shaft between the crankshaft and the camshaft gears.

An intermediate gear needs a fixed spindle to turn on, and this is that shaft. It's a simple, unglamorous part, but if it's worn, bent, or missing you're not getting the timing gears located correctly, which shows up as noise or wear on the gears it supports.
The catalog carries this number across a long span of years, so it's turned up in a lot of crankcase rebuilds over time. Our records don't spell out which specific models it fits beyond the crankcase figure it appears in, so bring your case or old spindle to the counter, or give us the numbers off it, and we'll get you sorted before you order.
