D A M Quick 1401 and 2001 spool question

[farmer56]

     farmer 56 here ,   I think Fred  will know this but ....  will those two reels be able to interchange spools  ...  what  i  could  find  out they both hold the same amount   of  line  ..  1401  is  the high speed 1:5.00  and  the 2001  the lower speed  1:4.25    ....  one  thing  that  leads me  to  not  think so  is  the  weight  diff..  1401 =14.0 oz.    2001=15.3 oz.     both  reels  hold  285/6   250/8   240/10   220/12    150/15     yds  mono ,,,   thanks again  dennis

You are correct, Dennis —

They will not exchange between a 1401 & a 2001.

The spools are the same — exactly — except the brake spindles are different to accommodate the slightly larger and beefier spool axle on the 2001.  Of course, the labeling is also different — but the black aluminum spools are the same.

The slight weight difference has to do with the heavier spool axle and also a difference in gear/drive axle weight.

The easy way to overcome the non-changeability is to just switch out the spool brake spindle.

If there are any parts you need — just let me know.  Should have anything you might need from the spindle/ratchets to complete spools with all parts, drags, and drag knob. 

Can't post photos — but this should answer your questions.  And I will be glad to help in any way.

Best, Fred

Fred thanks again for the info....   I have both reels  ...  just both not in house .... the 1401 anti reverse  has some part of the linkage missing or broke ....  also i'm missing drag washer and drag disc on one spool ...  would like to mail stuff to you ....  that way we could combine  postage on  the  possible  220P  thanks  again  farmer 56

Glad to handle it for you, Dennis —

Just mail the reel (1401) — and I will take care of it — and also mail back to you the completed reel and the 220P — which I just set aside for you.

Best, Fred

thanks again

farmer 56 here again ...   Fred  since i have  two  1401  spools  and  one 2001 spool  ,  all spooled with different lb. test weight line  ,  i  thought  maybe i would get two  2001 spindle hub  and one  1401  hub , just hub not gear drag parts ,  then i can  mix-and-match  between the two reels .... i will ship the box this wed.  you might not like what is all coming.... three reels  1401  440 1001 and  the spool that needs the drag washer and disc...the 1401 anti- rev. work , 440 spool wont lock in , 1001 needs that rubber tube fix ,  ....  i thought i should warn you in case you wanted to return to sender  ,   as always hope this finds you and your family well .... dennis

Will do, Dennis —

Just include a list of what you would like to accomplish — and I will take it from there.

If the reel comes across the bench — it gets a full service before it leaves.

This way I don't have to come behind someone else's work or modifications — and the end product is solid and capable.

There are only (2) conditions for a quality reel —- Right or Not Right.

If I would fish it myself with confidence — then you will also — and it is in the above first condition.

Glad to help!

Best, Fred

I know this is an old thread but it seems like a good place to ask.

I bought an old 1401, it was pretty rough with a bent crank arm, bent frame stem and some dings on the spool. The spool skirt was rubbing on the roto head. I got all that dialed in and it's straight and true again.

I decided to intentionally leave the cosmetics rough and original. This will be a surf and jetty reel.

When I removed the spool via the push button, I could feel that the brake spindle was really gooped up with old grease. So, into the laquer thinner and ultrasound it went. It came out clean but the push button would not move. I figured it may have had a grain of sand wedged where it didn't belong. I cycled it through the US some more with gentle wiggling between cycles. The button moves now but no spring action and it won't lock into place even with manual manipulation of the button.

Fred, is there anything more I can do, or is it time just replace the part?

-Thanks

Hi Mike —-

If it won't lock into place confidently —- I think you are just asking for problems going forward when trying to land a fish or cast.

I'll drop a new brake spindle in the mail to you on Monday #104496.

Just pulled a new one out of the bins, N/C.

PM me your address so I don't have to look it up.

Best Always, Fred

Thanks Fred, I may need a few more parts. I didn't notice until I tried to open it up, one of the housing screws has the dreaded broken head. This seems like a common failure but it threaded out with a well fitting screwdriver. I'll check my parts to see if I have a replacement. Also, my slide or oscillating arm seems unusually loose fitting. Maybe wear from it being used with the spool skirt contacting the rotor?

I have a habit of buying beaters for parts reels, then deciding they'll live again.

Oh, I have a question. I've removed the rotor nut and washer but can't remember if it's threaded or just a friction fit. I figure better to ask then have regrets.

Thanks
Mike

I got the rotor off. I was overthinking it. I'm a bit rusty. I went out to the garage and it practically fell off into my hands. I was trying to unscrew it before asking. All the parts are in the ultrasound now.

Sorry, Mike —-

Got tied up in the middle of painting the inside of the Gregor boat I am selling.

Yeah, it just pops right off.  There are (2) weird trip levers, a drive plate, then a lock washer, and lastly
a hex nut.

Let me know what else you might need when you can.

Best, Fred

After cleaning all the parts really well I could tell that this reel has been very neglected and abused. The frame, spool, and crank all straightened out acceptably.

I thought I had bearings and frame screws but checked my parts bin and had neither. At a minimum, I need the brake spindle and housing screws. I could get by with the bearing in it but it feels a bit funky (cleaning improved it a bit). The last thing is the slide (or oscillating arm) is pretty warn. I haven't seen this much wear before but I think it's from using it with the bent spool skirt binding on the rotor. With these replaced, I'm confident it will be good for another lifetime. The slide is crank on the left. Thanks Fred
