illustrations for repairing upholstered furniture * A dedicated
section on turning furniture parts with a lathe * Tips for building

Based on the civilian WL model, Harley-Davidson's WLA ("A" for
"Army") motorcycle was first produced in 1940. It would remain in
production through 1945, and eventually over 90,000 were delivered
for use in all theaters of WWII. Like the WL, the WLA was equipped
with a 45 cubic inch (740 cc) flathead high compression engine and
a rugged frame. Military modifications included blackout lights,
fenders without traditional sides (to reduce mud clogging), an air
cleaner to facilitate off-road use and easy maintenance, and a
crankcase breather that enabled the fording of water obstacles. The
motorcycle typically was also equipped with leg protectors, a skid
plate, leather rifle or machine gun scabbard, an ammunition box,
radio or luggage rack, and a windscreen. This U.S. Army technical
manual TM 9-879 was created in 1943 for the men who operated and
serviced the WLA in the field. In its pages you will find a
description of the motorcycle, and information regarding its use
and care.Originally classified "restricted," this manual was
declassified long ago and is reprinted here in its entirety. Legal
