Title: Mitchell 408 pinion assembly
Post by: DON3099 on August 28, 2021, 07:38:10 PM
While I was playing with my 408, It wasn't moving smoothly. I took the rotor head off, only to find bearing falling out of the pinion assembly. I can't use a 308 rotor with the pinion right? Do I need to find a 408 assembly? If so anyone have one for sale???

I'd like to give a big shout out to foakes for sending me a needed part, at a very fair price

Thanks again Fred! The reel is ready to fish as soon as the streams settle from the hurricane.
