The dance with Lady Green begins ...

The exploded view shows spring washer (90) first, then flat washer (91), and finally the external retaining rings (92).

Flat washers wear better than spring washers(that is why there is one there!). However the presence of the spring washer makes it difficult to install the clip. Ya gotta depress the washer pair to get the clip into the groove.

As I'm back into taking this old Greenie apart, I find little mysteries (to me anyway), like this .....

What is the purpose of the setscrew (part 504153) on the righthand "leg" as seen from this side?

[fiatben]

I'd really like to do a good job of refurbishing this '55 Greenie. I can see that the arm pivots on an pinned rod in the base. I don't see a second hole to drive it out thru. Is there an easy way to remove this pin so I can clean the rod and strip/prime/paint the base and arm?

There should be a hole in the casting on the other side of the shaft so that you can drive the pin through from the outside.

That screw allows adjusting the tie bar /way tubes so that they are not twisted. It is an adjustable stop! Not easy to remove, but do so!

Exchange the position of the two washers. The spring washer goes between the flat washer and the retaining clip.

As has been pointed out by JPG, this statement is in error. Please disregard my input and do as JPG has stated in the subsequent post.

I'm going out to make sawdust. Not that I don't make mistakes there, too but out there I just correct them or incorporate the results into the design and no one is the wiser. At least I don't achieve public recognition.

I came in from the shop because it was getting too hot (92°) but then it is uncomfortably warm in here too.

Dusty, don't worry about it. Here is OK it is having a cold snap and in in the upper 50's and north wind. Great time for Broken Arrow to have their Fair LOL
I did make a mistake once but my wife reminded me I was wrong on the number

Here's what the setscrew adjusted for me. (posts 327 thru 330)

I am having a hard time with this. It has been stated by several different folks.

What I do not understand is how vertical pressure by the set screw results in a lateral motion of the way tube tie bar which is what I see depicted in your photos Mike. The hubs highlight the motion but they move as a function of the way tubes.

The setscrew on my machine does not even touch the tie bar.
