71 parts

[Ian]

I’m a newbie. I have a question. What is it with the 71. I can find parts for up to 70 and then it jumps to 72. Finding parts for a 71 on the online stores and eBay is difficult. Can’t even find some parts for the 71. The 71 seems to be an odd ball. Why?

What parts? 71-72 are probably 90% the same parts, and 73 to 71/72 share like 80% in common

There were some running changes in 71 that carried over to 72 models. For the most part, 71 and 72 parts are interchangeable. To a lesser extent, 73 parts work, too. Be sure to know your date of manufacture. If you have questions about interchangeability, just ask here. Someone will know and help you out.
