I purposely buy the older jiggy and Senators when I'm building a billet conversion to get the steel parts. Smooth that gear out on some emory cloth or wet dry to burnish it, grease well and fish it. It's the same gear used in jiggy.

I prefer steel gears for some of my reels and all of the gears I have ever seen for 349/349H reels are steel.

All of mine that I've seen have some pitting. Possible that prior rust was removed with vinegar or similar. And yes, keep it greased and it'll be fine. Get yourself a steel sleeve and a 5 stack and you can push that fella pretty far.

Quote from: Maxed Out on Today at 02:35:49 AMThe 112h was introduced sometimes in 1970's to the best of my knowledge. Might've been late 60's, but for sure no earlier than that
Ok so much for that theory.
Regardless, is it common to find a steel main gear in this model?
I have at least 3. I wouldn't say common but apparently not rare.

Tools and Lubricants / Re: Shop Vac & Tape Measures

We have that same vacuum.  We spliced the hose from its Craftsman predecessor to the Rigid hose so it's about 15 feet long now which works well for our needs. 

No tape measure lasts very long in our salty humid environment.  We usually get the Power Lock because they're about half the price of a Fat Max.

Wish I could have been there. 

any chance that you can get a hall pass?
