The larger parts for Penns are all in numbered bins -- such as rings, stands, sideplates, handles, spools, etc.
And many of the new commonly used smaller parts are all organized according to part numbers -- in a typical part number order --
But I have a lot of loose internals for the Penn conventionals -- mostly new, some used -- and have been organizing them into some type of simple system. And am going to part out a bunch of old Penns into these plastic organizers over the next few days.
Question: From all of you experienced experts out there, is there a shortcut or trick to identifying main and pinion gears easily?
Even if I count teeth, and measure carefully -- unless I have the old gear on my bench -- it is difficult to match.
Any hints or ideas?
Thanks,
Fred

Whoa!
Maybe consider hiring an intern or finding an apprentice?
Its like a 10,000 piece jigsaw puzzel. I would think starting with known part number/model/ratio gear sets, and finding matches might be a good first step. Someone else might have an actual helpful trick or teo for you.
Most I can identify just by looking. Hard part will be finding the first set for each gear then just match it up accordingly. Btw I see you have steel 113h gears!! I'm interested in a few if you are will to let them go!
Just a guess ;D

Mago Misterioso...is never wrong. :D Dominick
wow thats alot of parts..... very nice !!!! ;)
Thanks, Sal --
I will mark these as you have indicated.
If I split the pinions up into groups -- would you have any expert eyeballs on those?
Best,
Fred
Fred, there is no way to accomplish your goal so you should just send me the parts and I'll save you the hassle ;D, but I may forget your return address. :o
The steel ones marked 5-113H second row from the bottom on the right look like 5-349, they have a slightly larger OD than the 5-113H.
Oh you guys are scary! Identifying all those gears from a slightly blurred photo seems like witchcraft ;)
Sure hope no one bumps your workbench!
I have a question in line with identifying the different Penn gears....the numbers that you ID them with. Do those numbers have anything to do with Ratio or Diameter & TPI?
They are Penn part numbers

Yes I understand, but I was wonder if those numbers also have something to do with the fore mentioned. (ie) size,dia.,ratio...etc.
Good question, 224 --
But the first number is a typical Penn key # for all reels -- for a main gear -- 5.
The following number after the hyphen -- is the reel model #.
Some gears are for multiple models -- but they only carry one part number, if the same.
You probably have a master Penn parts "KEY" chart -- showing all parts for various models of conventionals.
However, if you do not, or anyone else needs one on the site -- I could scan and post, so anyone could print it.
Best,
Fred
This information is probably already somewhere on this site -- buried away.

Fred That would be great!
Here is a Penn Part Number Key Chart.
It is out of one of my Dealer Parts & Sevice Manuals from 1996 -- so ignore the prices when talking to Scott's, Southwestern, or other Penn Parts Centers.
It is dead simple to just take a key number -- then go down the column to see which other reels share the same number. Helps when matching up parts.
If the Moderators want to move this to a better location -- feel free.
Hope this helps some of our members.
Best,
Fred
