Lucky to have a few of the CD4 series. Smooth reeling. I seem to have a stuck spool on the arbor. The spool button is stuck on shaft. Will Try oiling and waiting. Notice two slots opposite each other on spool top. Are they used to remove the button assembly? Willing to sacrifice spool as i have extras.
Figured out how remove stuck spool. Black cap unscrews and two holes are used to grip and move threaded cap! Lots of dirt and button was offset from correct spring position. Will show not depressed spring vs depressed and shaft. Also will show button set up after repairs
Nice. I have the Suveran 1000, made in '01. I've had it apart a couple of times fascinated by the design/engineering. I love the no waste of space gearbox design.
What's the difference between the CD4/6 and Suveran?
I think cd4 has 4 bearings while cd6 has 6 bearings. Also cd 6 has larger spools but not 100% as I don't have cd6. I have suveran but never done side to side comparison.
I can confirm that cd/6 has 5 bearings and 1 needle bearing.
