Hello to Alan and all. I have been enjoying your site for a little over a year from Florida without posting. You guys are a great resource for the rest of us. My reels thank you for all the help.
I now have an issue that seemed worthy of posting. I somehow managed to snap a lever shaft body (part #350) in half on a relatively new TLD50II LRSA. Has anyone experienced this problem before? Any recommendations?
When I opened the reel up for the first time, it had 8 belleville washers in a "(())(())" order -- which does not match the 6 shown on the schematic in a "()(())" order. Shimano calls these the pre load spring (part #40). Is there a way to adjust these to increase drag range (although I do recognize that may not be necessary or advisable given I already broke one drag part in a few months of fishing). Was this reel supposed to have 8 bellevilles or was this an error that may have caused or contributed to the broken part?
Many thanks. Alan I will pm you to order a new lever shaft body. FP
welcome! for single parts like this, call shimano at 877-577-0600. usually they will send out parts like this for free. for the bellevilles, not sure. it's been a long time since i've opened one of these up! i would think it would have been the cause, though.
Welcome freddyP. Good luck with that TLD.

Hi Freddy, Welcome!
Hi.
Tinker with the Bellville configuration and see if you can get what you need.
Welcome aboard, Freddy --
Best,

Thanks Alan. Shimano is sending the part (at a small charge but I sm fine with that). I am going to try ((((()) and see how it works on bellevilles. Best to all. F
let us know how it works out!
