Today I was able to get into my repair of the #282. I was able to service the motor and it seems to be slowly breaking in after many years of idleness. I know the cranes have a problem with the clutch assembly, and so do I! Right now I can get the crane to rotate clockwise, but not counter clockwise, except for a couple of short jerks. Is there a way to purchase another thrust spring #282-16, and if so where? Any other suggestions to get this guy running would be appreciated.
Thanks!
