You are the first to give any indication as to how to determine if bent, or correct shape. I do not see a "face". Also, I sure would like for someone to explain how it gets bent? It seems to me that the draft control plunger can't pull it too far to the rear, as there is a hard mechanical stop on plunger AND as for plunger pushing it too far forward, it seems to me that all the would do is compress the constant draft spring, neither of which shows me a reason for it bending. I certainly don't doubt you experience (combined with FO-20 comments), but I simply don't see the "how". If the rear most cast part of it could be pushed forward enough to hit the ram arm, then that would perhaps bend it, but in the opposite direction as to result in his problem?????????

Affecting the ability to adjust it. I am not able to get to all my notes and pictures right now.. But that is what Zane and I figured out after I got his jig and still could not adjust it. I remember it did not make sense to Zane and he advised me to look for bent linkage.   [Reply]  [No Email]
