I didn't count them, but there seemed to be no more room for any more, once I got the thing back together. I also haven't noticed either of my cats playing with one on the floor - so I think I got 'em all
Interesting thought: are BBs the same size as the bearings in the PTO? It never occurred to me in over fifty years of life where the name "BB" for air rifle ammo came from - which is strange since I notice lots of other word origins that are a bit obscure. I guess this one was too obvious. 73, Steve Wedge, W1ES/4 To be is to do - Socrates To do is to be - Plato Do be do be do. - Sinatra All my computers have my signature with various pearls of wisdom appended thereto.

If you can't get all ten in, loosen the adjuster screw at the rear of the lead screw. -- 73, Garey - K4OAH St Charles, IL Drake 2-B, 2-C/2-NT, 4-A, 4-B, C-Line and TR-4/C Service Supplement CDs <www.k4oah.com> Ron Ries wrote: > Steve, I read that you rebuilt the ball bearing on the PTO shaft on the R-4B that you recently acquired. I am in the process of restoring one also that I bought from Bob and noticed that there appears to be one less ball in the race than the race will accommodate. Is this what you found also?
