H-D changed to metric long ago. They had to to compete in the global market. Had to change a tire on my Cub Cadet 0 turn mower the other day. To my suprise, the axle nut is SAE ! :laugh: Had to go back in the house for my other socket set.

Very few Craftsman tools are made in America. I have had to go to vintage tool sites on ebay to find Craftsman wrenches stamped Made in USA. Sometimes the seller will claim they are Made in America when the picture clearly shows made in china. Vendors are not always bright.

I'm sure Sam would have something to say if he were alive. Once his kids took over, it was downhill from there. The smaller stores were much nicer to shop in.
I had a good friend that bought a Harley and he used to brag that his Harley was made in America.... and he used to rag on me, cause at the time I road a Suzuki (Jap bike/he used to call it)
I went to visit him, and help him work on his bike everytime, it needed wrenching... (seem'd like every other day)
I was using a wrench, to loosen up a bolt, when I noticed it was a 12 mm size (metric size) .............I busted out laughing, I said I thought that you had an American bike, then why am I using metric wrenches............From that day on, he never ragged on me again.......for riding a Jap bike....Soooooooooooooooo the moral of this story is that Harley is NOT ALL AMERCIAN MADE..

Over the years I have switched between "jap" bikes and Harleys, usually had Yamahas. I kept all my metrics out but then when switching back to a Harley I put those away and pulled my other sets out. I never had metric bolts/nuts on any of my Harleys that I can remember.
Before my TriGlide I owned two BMWs. Although the motors are "assembled" in Germany, if you turn over almost any other part is says made in Spain, Czechoslovakia or any number of other countries.
Are Urals still made in Russia?
