A quick google of that number turns up mention of a mid-1950s T110 crank.

I don't think any T110 model had an alternator, however the 5T and 6T models did (from 1954) when the cranks were still the bolt-up type. According to the 1954 parts book the T110 and 6T had the same crankshaft assembly: E3295

Yes, according to the Sept '54 edition 99-0837 workshop manual, the crank big end journals were 1.6235" - 1.6240 (1-5/8 = 1.6250")
