Good morning i have a penn 113h red sides pre 1989 clicker. It sat unused in a box since 1980. The side plates are the older ones that allow u to change drags from the outside of reel the grease was rock hard. It took alot to even seperate the side covers its all cleaned up greased and upgraded drag installed. I cant stop a side to side movement of spool. Its like the left plate bearing doesnt adjust enough. I swapped one out from another reel. It didnt help. Any ideas
The easiest fix is to put a shim between the spool and the bearing.
You can make one out of a pop can or a Milk Jug.
If you want to be more precise., You can order shims from Mcmaster Carr.
It has been a while since I worked on a 113H, but that is what I would do.
There are lots of tips on this if you snoop around in the Senator Section.

What do the "poll" options mean?: 1, or 2.
Clean the threads of the left side bearing holder real good. Sometimes it just has to be screwed in a little tighter. The spool should have .0025 to .005" side to side play. If you don't have any side play it will wear on the spool shafts & bearings. Rudy
Thank u thread are cleaned up. I thought the same thing possibly salt. Made no difference. Bearing screwed all the way down. Im thinking shim is a must. Theres a full 16th of an inch
Thank u guys. The shim worked
