When did PENN change Senator 111(2/0) from the open drag-w/thumb sized hole in the head plate, to the must totally dismantle to get at drag design-w/pinky sized hole?

I found a salty wrecked Senator 2/0 at a sale. Its says 2/0 & you can R&R the drag by just pulling the handle. My guess is early 50's-late 40's.

I opened it taking Alan's "Boss" useful guide to cleaning and taking it all apart. My goal is to build a pig puller with the 5+1 drags. The mysticparts diagram was not useful with how this reel was built.

I am testing the setup to what to eliminate to make it a 5+1 drags pig puller. The reddish handle is loose and slanted. I am looking for a greenie Penn 24-56 power handle and other "nice goodies" for it. ;D

Please let me know if the drag setup is in the right order.

I am plumb!  :P More to come...

No part numbers so pretty early

Drag washer order looks good from top to bottom if you're placing one of the top fiber washers under the gear. Sometimes a same size drag washer under the gear interferes with the dog. I usually try to find a smaller diameter drag washer for under the gear, or use a small delrin washer. Without getting some of the thin metal washers, and maybe even thin fiber washers, I'll be surprised if you can get all 10 washers in that main gear. Nice find by the way. Sold my 110 a while back and wish I hadn't.

Unknown when the head-plate opening changed, but I'll bet someone here knows. What's "R&R" mean? It looks like somebody sawed-off the stand-clamp bolts. Is the clamp needed? Maybe, for pulling pigs.
I had the small hole version, with upgraded to 10 drag washers, and added double dogs. The drag worked very smooth and well.
Also, I added another post to the top for more frame strength.

Someone did sawed off the stand clamp bolts. The dog uses a leaf spring and the pinion gear has no collar. Almost all parts have no parts number. The eccentric screw is a big screw. ::)

Gfish, please share how you created your 10 drags -111 masterpiece. ;D  :al
