Title: Abu 550 Plus
Post by: Istock1 on November 24, 2015, 06:46:29 PM
I have a "like new" 550 Plus that I got for almost nothing with the dreaded single leaf dog that doesn't work right anymore. It looks like the inner ring that slides onto the post broke from the leaf and the cog part ... it's now three pieces instead of one.

So I think I'm trying to turn this:

Into this:

As Ken_D mentions in one of the threads here, it looks like I will need to provide space between the anti-reverse wheel and the drive gear to accommodate the second leaf, but am not sure what part number to order that would work. Would 10271? Thanks!
