raquel Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I bought 3 Northwesterns and took them apart to install gumball wheels. Now I can't put them back together, and I can't find a diagram anywhere online. The center rod is sitting too low. Can anyone give suggestions or point me in the right direction? Any help would be greatly appreciated :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GagesVending Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 If the rod is too low, you can raise it by unscrewing the nut at the bottom; then un thread the rod to the desired length. Now, re tighten the nut and test to see if it's tall enough to reach the lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raquel Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 The rod is at its highest, and still stops about a half inch short of me being able to reach it with the lock. I'm starting to think the guy I bought them from gave me the wrong rods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to think the guy I bought them from gave me the wrong rods. That is possible. It's not a tough fix...you can buy threaded rod to replace your existing ones at your favorite big box store like Home Depot or Lowes. The only difference is that the rod you buy will be threaded throughout as opposed to only on the ends. Other than that, no other difference.

musser Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 were the machines together and locked when you bought them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetstop Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 sounds like a rod for a model 60 and you have a super 60 head on it. sherlock has the right idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raquel Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 were the machines together and locked when you bought them? Now that I think about it, I remember I bought them unassembled. Lesson learned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
