Hello Everyone :). I was wondering if anyone knows how to repair the anti-reverse on a Heddon 283 spinning reel. Thanks BEE
Welcome
Here is a Tutorial by Mo65 on that very reel

If you get Stumped come on back .
Welcome aboard!
Using Mo's tutorial that Henry posted —
(3) typical culprits, in order of most common first —
1) Dried up, old grease interfering with Anti-Reverse dog and spring operation.
2) Bad A/R spring.
3) Worn A/R dog.
You can do a full disassemble and service according to Mo's tutorial — or just remove the sideplate to access the A/R dog & spring. Clean up the dog, spring, any caked on grease — see if that cures it. Then you can address the rest of the reel.
Let us know.
Best,
Fred
