Slick706 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Why, why is it that when you take apart a reel for maintenance and you drop a part somewhere and it mysteriously disappears into thin air I just dont get it!! :mad: Where do these parts go? I know this happens to alot of us here. I dropped a washer from my Daiwa Seagate 20H, its the spacer washer that fits in the star drag. I dropped it near my stove and dishwasher. I pulled them both out looked everywhere. GONE!! poooof!!! Now I have to call Daiwa for a new part. geeeesh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tman1 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 It's amazing how often it happens....I started to work on reels over an disposable aluminum cooking pan (1/2 tray size) just in case I drop something. it also keeps my bench alot cleaner.

mako20ft Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Same evil bastage that steals single socks from the dryer...karma. The wheels on my reels go round and round...round and round...round and round... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick706 Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I ordered the part from mikes reel repair. E60-5110, its a spacing sleeve washer. Amazing! its a decent size washer too. I took out my oven and dishwasher again from under the counters, nothing! it just disappeared. Funny Dutch, real funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie2 Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 There is a 'Bermuda Triangle' where lost lawnmower, reel and other small parts go to rest. There's also a lot of thread pullers in there. A white Tupperware dishpan does wonders but doesn't completely eliminate the small spring loss problem.

Slick706 Posted March 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 I ordered the part from Mikes reel repair. 3 week backorder. I shoulda went direct to Daiwa but they are impossible to get on the phone. I did the flashlight thing and pulled out the stove and dishwasher again. This washer just disappeared!!

There is also a rumor that reel part manufactures conspire to make parts that magically disintegrate when exposed to air. Anyone heard that one? Keeps them in business! They're also shaped so the vacuum cleaner doesn't pick them up. Non-magnetic?; don't even go there. Small springs are notorious "jumpers' . I have deliberately disassembled them inside of a plastic bag only to have them disappear. The little bastages even watch the mailbox. They know when a part gets here better than you do!

Ken D Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 My carpet resembles chain-mail armour, there's so many gizzies and riggins locked in..... The power nozzle on the vacuum has a hissy-fit all the time. Brrrrrrrrip.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanratty Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 I guarantee that lost part will be found just after the new one arrives and is installed. Never fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick706 Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Thanks for the vote of confidence all! The part is backordered 3-4 weeks. I am sure I will find it the same day the part arrives. Yep, I just know it. I did the vacuum thing too, nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken D Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Hio, Try Toby Baar at (800) 736-4653 Unsure if you can get through, but he may have better answers for you. This is Daiwa in California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
