harley/amf tubular key padlock

[Lowtech]

I collect these padlocks, have some with key, and some without key. I took one without a key to local locksmith (older guy, retiring) . Instead of decoding lock, he took it apart, lost a part and told me he couldn't fix lock. Any information on this lock would help- tips, parts diagram, history. Locks are about 40 years old.

I'm pretty sure these locks are Ilco Unican Herculock padlocks with H/D AMF branding on them

There's a breakdown of one at a friend's forum: http://www.keypicking.com/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=10802

You can look around ebay and once in a while these show up, you could buy it for cheap and raid it for parts to make your HD padlock complete. Or look around for a locksmith who still has some Ilco Unican padlock parts left over from the 80's.

There's a chance yours may have been made by American Lock as well, the body reminds me of the H10 railroad locks.

worst case post what part you need and someone might have it or can make one for you

The lock is American and is identical to the HT-15 American lock. These locks were made around 1975, so parts may be hard to find. There is a moderator or member living in the Appleton, wi area that does Harley lock work, but I can't remember his username.

Buggs41 lived in WI, I believe. He was a spam cop, but never a full mod. He's the only big time member from WI that I can recall.
