Title: Penn 113H Washer Size?
Post by: Gman_WC on June 12, 2011, 05:15:53 PM
What is the drag size or penn # for the washer that goes under the main gear please on the 113H?
I want to swap out this stock washer on my Penn's while open for the tear downs and have some
on hand for future projects.

Thanks - g

A 6-875 should work just fine......

       Sometimes the 6-875 is too thick... in that case call Dawn at Smoothdrag for the under the gear washer on the 113H and she'll hook it up.  I prefer them over the 6-875 for there ability to fit all 113h's.

We take the 6-113H washer and grind it down to just larger than the size of the rachet teeth on the gear sleeve.

Thanks for the offer Bryan.
I need to go through about six 113h's for me and friends before 
the Loreto Baja trip coming up next month.
I think I'll just order up some Carbontex Kits from Dawn
and do it right from the start.
Now that I have a bearing puller, bearing packer, and a mini grease gun I'm ready.  :D
I just need to find some free time.

I've been using one of the same 6-113 thin washers that I installed in the gear lately and everything works great. I haven't been griding, I've been installing them as they come. If it works for larger Senators having the same size under the gear washer as the drag stack washers, I don't see why it shouldn't work on a 113H, besides I believe that having a larger diameter on that washer keeps the tip of the dog aligned nicely with the rachet teeth. You can go ahead and order your washers from Dawn, I just wanted to mention that it has been working out for me soo far, but not all 113H's are the same :-\

I agree with Alto's comment (re: not necessarily needing to grind down the OD of the 6-113H).
I've also found that '...the washer keeps the tip of the dog aligned nicely with the ratchet teeth', which has worked well on both my 113H and Jigmaster 500...

Thanks for the advise. I dialed up Dawn today with an order and she took care of me. -g
