joshua2415 rebuild kit

Adam,
I need a rebuild kit for a 3/8 ratchet. It has the V switch. Dave tells me it was built between 1959-1969. No part number. Just a V on the handle.

Adam:

Is there a way you can create a website or link for us that we can go to in order to see what rachets use what kits?

The V-lever, non-quick-release button headed ratchets are problematical.

Without even having to KNOW the model number ratchet, I know Sears/Danaher does not support these types of kits with new rebuild kits.

The good news is that a thorough cleaning and re-lubing will often restore a great deal of functionality.

Some of the "stranger" store PMTs have been known to Pack-rat these old parts.

I have a Customer I met at the other Sears, yesterday (while I was shopping for my variable-speed Grinder), who will be coming into my store today for a long-lever selector, that uses the D-keyed pawl (like a V-lever also uses).

Although there are certainly no new kits, after almost two years of "gutting" ratchets, I may have just a few selectors (in various stages of wear).

The visiting Customer's drive gear is about 97 percent "there" and with a proper cleaning and re-lubing, with that selector lever attached, his ratchet should be ZZZing along splendidly.

I have a ½ inch V-selector, Craftsman ratchet coming from eBay.

Let us know how you do with local PMTs in your area.

I can't be the only one who stores the old stuff in candy tins and glass pickle jars.

As for a link to ratchet kit conversions, the store people are supposed... to have access to internal Intranet links.

But, I've been posting about moving WHOLE workshops.

Imagine how easy it is to move link locations!

We're not sure there even IS a golden-ratchet competition anymore.

Where's the link! It was right HERE!

Moving a link, without telling anyone, is like moving a Service Center pickup day and time (Saturday to Friday to Thursday to ... Today).

One more move in the Service Pickup day and there will be no PMT on duty to spoon feed the material to the truck.

November 15, 2006 Virtual Info


Here's the thing about links and computrified information, it changes!

The ratchet to ratchet kit list has evolved over just the two years I've been a Sears PMT.

The early lists had "old" and "new" kit number references. Not any more.

The not so very old list had a variety of old long-levered ratchets to their corresponding rebuild kits listed. Much harder to find now.

The newest list has the new Thin-profile ratchet rebuild kits listed, but is in color format.

Looks great on screen and passes on a color printer's output.

List "mushes" in Laser Printer (all Sears stores standard office printer) output.

I have a laminated color copy of the Sales Today listing of the ratchets and their kits.

It's the perfect PMT workshop art, along with my copyright 1959 Craftsman Common Hardware chart.

I may have to invest in some of those wall art lamps, if I want to see them in my "new digs" workshop.

Hard copy information stays the same, where as virtual information evolves.

Old kits? There's nothing on the screen here about "old" kits. Just THE kits.

I'm cleaning out all of the dumped display and Bakers' racks dumped in the area, in preparation for THE MOVE.

Next step will be to see if the sliding cyclone fence gates can actually still move and close to the point of being lockable.

This shop is going to be done right. No Master-keyed locks.

I found an abandoned electrical box about one-hundred feet away. The cover plate is off, with the dual bank of sockets loosely dangling out of the electrical box.

With luck... it'll still have juice.

A simple Excel spreadsheet listing the rachet #s and the service kits. That should do it.

I would think Danaher should publish such information.
