S.S. sleeve for 259

twopatch · January 27, 2013, 07:50:23 PM

I am in the process of making narrow 259,or a 1/0 if you will. I got a 259,and 501 on E bay.along with some newell parts. While I was building my new real, I come to find out that the bridge shaft on the 259 is only 3/16,not 7/32 like on the Jigmasters. I don't want to use the brass gear sleeve. Does anyone know if a 3/16 I.D. holed S.S. gearsleeve exists?

The 98-60 AT coarse tooth should do just fine on those.

I checked the drop down menu On Scotts web page and the 259 was not there. I have one of Allen's 98/505 and it has about .030 worth of slop.

No, Scott doesn't list it. You basically have a jigmaster sleeve. The 3-99 is similar to the sleeve on the 112H, 1/0 ,jigmasters and a few more. There is a possability that the post on your bridge Changed along the way, if that's the case, I can't help you.
I believe the 98-505 has fine tooth, you're looking for coarse tooth.
Here is the info for the 98-60AT:

It's not showing the 259 (3-99) bridge.
I just checked the sleeve on the 3-99, 3-500 and 112H, they're all identical $:-\$

thanks for checking Sal, I must have a older 259. There are no part #'s on the bridge,or sleeve,or yoke.

Twopatch,
You may have to get a newer bridge with the proper diameter shaft. Check with reelygone.com. He has a 3-99 bridge that might be one of the newer ones.

George,I e-mailed Dan ,He said that he will check for me on Friday. In the mean time,I borrowed another 259 and I tore it down, It was the same size shaft size .187 ,3/16. This one had part #s 3-99 so it was a newer model then the one that I got on Ebay. ???I guess i will wait and see what Dan has to say.

I just measured the bridge post in my 99 Silverbeach and it is also .187". Hopefully Dan's 3-99 bridge has the larger shaft. Keep us informed.

Alto Mare · January 30, 2013, 04:28:36 AM

Mine measures .205", same as everything else I measured.

George4741 · January 30, 2013, 04:40:16 AM

My 200 surfmaster also had a .187" diameter shaft, but luckily I was able to replace the bridge with one from a 155. There are a few of those older bridges with the smaller shaft out there.

My 100, 150 and 200s all have the larger shaft, my 60 has the smaller one.

Alto Mare · January 30, 2013, 04:54:42 AM

I have a few bridges from various reels, without the sleeve, all are .205".

George, very interesting that you were able to replace the bridge fro a 155. My 200 bridge plate holes don't line up with the holes on the 155 plate $:-\$ . I've also tried to install a 3-155 on a surfmaster...no luck. The holes are very close but not the same.

Alto Mare · January 30, 2013, 04:57:28 AM

Alan, I see you're checking in, I want to mention that the ss sleeves are lose even on the .205. Probably a good idea to mention it to the machinist.

I would like to thank eveyone for their imput.I am wondering if I should have started with a 1/0? I would think that there are some small shaft 1/0's out there,being that it has a 3-99 bridge.

Yes, I have an unusual surfmaster with a -155 bridge and main gear. I mentioned it in an older post below:
