What I will call "Harvey's Hangups" ---

Post by Harvey »

Since my name seems to come up whenever someone trys to repair, fix, replace or make things work by non conventional means, I thought a thread with pictures about these endevors would be in order. My two entries are of a Shakespeare Style "B" where someone replaced the double screw levelwind with a single crossed shaft to make it work. (and it does because I have fished with it)

The second is something I will call an "Elder Clicker" where someone took a spring and a small gear and put it on a South Bend St. Joe.

Now if we can get Andy Foster to post some of his home-made, barnyard repaired reels, (like the one made from a tractor generator) you will be amazed at what someone can come up with.
Lets see what others have gathered up over the years.
Enjoy, Harvey

EDIT:

Maybe if we can gather enough matrial, Richard could make up an artical for the "Reel News". We always need some enterainment!

It may have came from the 'McAlpin Machine Tool Co" from somewhere in Texas too.
