PENN 9 quick Tutorial

[RTT]

Ok here it is again.  I think I now mastered Photobucket

Here it is a PENN 9.  This little workhorse belongs to Pop, and it needed a little help as the drag became very jerky.  Below are is picture intensive, besides the drag washer, it will also get cleaned and greased.
(this is my first post using Photobucket so I hope this goes well)

I find this works great on the chrome





Here is the old leather washers and the new one





Getting it to the greasy standard




Getting it all back together can be tricky.  I did not have a rubber band so i used the grease bucket to hold it.  It took a couple of tries, the success.

Nice work!  Thank you for taking the time to take, and post some pictures of the process.  I am sure it will provide some guidance and inspiration.

nice project.  what i do is i put the 3 frame post screws in loose, slide in the worm sheild, then tighten the 3 screws,  add reel stand screws.  (don't tighten the slotted post screws reel tight because you will have to rotate it so get the line guide into place)   i then slide the worm gear and line guide thru the large hole, fit it into the drive gear . (keeping the line guide favoring the one side , it allows the worm to be installed). just my way of doing a #9.  i use a short piece of hose slid over the post to hold the gear and drag washers in place when you turn it upside down to install , then pull it out when secured.    hope this helps a little.     harryk

Same here on all of the Penn levelwind reels like that and the 109 thru 309.

Fully assemble the reel with the guard in place. The worm gear, line guide, will all go in last.

That's an old classic looking like a few more decades in her!
