The Piaggio differential casing cover 1269255 is the aluminum half-shell that encloses the differential assembly of the Ape P50 (1980-1985), the first series of the three-wheeled vehicle. It is the part that keeps oil in and water, dust, and mud out: when it is cracked, scored on the mating surface, or damaged by corrosion, the differential leaks oil and the gears run dry — a failure that, if neglected, will cost the entire assembly. New spare part, original Piaggio code, readily available from Moon Bike S.r.l. — Cercola (NA).
✓ Strengths
- Original Piaggio code 1269255 – standard casting, with exact mating surfaces and center distances
- Made of aluminum – like the original equipment part, not a reconditioned welded piece
- Stops oil leaks – no gasket will hold for long on a scored or cracked casing
- Restoration part – on the first series Ape P50, it is one of the hardest parts to find new
- Saves the differential – costs a fraction of the complete assembly, which is almost impossible to find for these vehicles
- New product, never mounted · shipping from Italy

⚠️ Important notes:
• The item includes the cover only: gasket, oil seal, bearings, gears, and fasteners are not included.
• Always replace the gasket and oil seal when opening the differential: re-mounting old ones on a new casing means redoing the job after a few weeks.
• When reassembling, tighten the screws in a cross-pattern sequence and restore the oil level: this is the number one cause of seized differentials on reinstated Ape vehicles.
• Ape P50 and first series Ape TM P share many codes but not all: our official reference is the Ape P50 1980-1985. If you have a TM, send us the chassis number and we will check the catalog before shipping.
• For forty-year-old vehicles, it is always good practice to compare the code stamped on the old casing before ordering.

Recommended products
- Differential gasket and oil seal – always replace them together with the cover
- Differential bearings – with the assembly open, it's the right time to check them
- Transmission oil for Ape – the level must be restored after any intervention
- Original fasteners – on a forty-year-old vehicle, the casing screws are often stripped
Who it's perfect for
This is the spare part for those who are getting a first series Ape P50 back on the road and find the differential leaking oil or the casing cracked from a blow received in the countryside. On these 1980s vehicles, the typical problem is not gear wear but a corroded or scored casing, which no gasket can hold anymore: you fill the oil, drive a hundred kilometers, and you're back to square one. It's also the part sought after by restorers because new original casings for the first series Ape are now rare: when found, they are taken. A new cover saves a differential that today is worth much more than the spare part.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly is this part?
It is the differential casing cover: the aluminum half-shell that encloses the Ape's differential assembly and retains its oil. It is not the complete differential or the gear assembly, which are separate spare parts.
Will it fit my Ape?
The official reference is the Ape P50 from 1980 to 1985, the first series. If you have a first series TM P, send us the chassis number: many codes are shared, but we will check the official catalog before shipping.
My differential is leaking oil: is just changing the cover enough?
If the casing is cracked, corroded, or scored on the mating surface, yes: no gasket will hold on a damaged surface. However, always change both the gasket and the oil seal, otherwise the leak will reappear elsewhere.
Are gasket and fasteners included?
No. Only the cover is supplied. Gasket, oil seal, bearings, and screws are separate spare parts: ask us and we will check them in the catalog for your Ape.
Can I install it myself?
It's a mechanic's job: you need to drain the oil, open the differential assembly, clean the mating surfaces, install a new gasket, and tighten the screws in a cross-pattern sequence. Finally, the oil level must be restored. If you have no experience, it's best to go to a workshop.
Is it original or a reproduction?
It is the original Piaggio code 1269255, new and never mounted. For the first series Ape, new original casings are now difficult to find: what is usually circulating is used or reconditioned.
How long does it take to arrive?
The item is available in stock and shipped from Italy. You will receive the tracking code as soon as the package leaves.
