Hi Deejay,
I have tried to upload some pics but for some reason they just wont upload off my PC, have checked the "how to" and everything seems ok, not sure?
Anyway I have two Bonnars an earlier 14" (engine 822232 0138-01 8400622030 (and I think one of the last model 45's in 17" (engine 80202 2324-01 88051103) this one is light green with a Scott Bonnar shield logo on the front left side of catcher over a black stripe that runs full width of the catcher, on the right side is a script that says Model Reel 45.
Thanks for the hint on the bed knife sole plate, I did look at the original screws that hold the knife in place and thought that allen head upgrades would be a nice addition for later maintenanc.
Removing the old ones would be tricky given the sole plate looks like it is cast construction and would not take an impact driver blow real kindly so heat would be needed. But I will take the advice of experience and remove the complete assembly from the frame and send it in with the cylinder.
I was working on the ol gal today and noticed that the right side rear roller is out of true, it appears to have a high spot when rotated (almost 5mm).
The left side roller hovever is rolling true, have you seen this before?
Glenn.
