New Era Rope Machine Handle Assembly - Replacement arm and wooden handle, ready for finishing to match your New Era machine. Handle is turned Hickory, matching the original design. Use oil finish, stain, varnish, etc to seal the handle. The handle arm is cast in bronze versus the original iron. Paint to match your machine. Handle is mounted to arm with a three inch steel rivet epoxied to the arm. A quarter-20 flat head screw and square nut is provided to attach the assembly to the machine's ring gear. Disassembly of the housing may be required. Use thread locking compound (or even nail polish!) to lock threads when re-assembling. Part number P7. See Parts Ordering Page for ordering information.

Not Pictured - Plastic Bushing (black color) for the New Era Rope Machine. Replaces the ball bearing mounted in the center of the housing. The bearing (bushing) is the center of rotation for the ring gear. Both the front housing and the ring gear have "fingers" to hold the bearing. Today's standard bearings won't fit, nor can the fingers be moved. The original bearing is "out of inventory" with the major US bearing companies. Use this bushing if you are missing the bearing, or the bearing is frozen and non-restorable. Part Number P8.
