The interesting thing about these receivers is that they do work, out of the
box, pretty decently. You do run afoul, however, once you try to do a factory
alignment. Unfortunately, whatever Bob's brother did to these rigs was not
documented and that is the cardinal sin. If I had been provided
I did it old school. All the balls were rambling around the environs, and I
used me finger to push them into place. Once there, I very carefully
started to tighten the tension to retain them.

Hi Paul:
Once the ball race area is all clean and dry, I apply some teflon grease
to the area. Then carefully flace the balls into the grease one at a
time using tweezers. If the frame is laying face down it helps. Same
as putting loose balls into a front wheel on a bicycle. Then let the
Hi Steve and Pete, I too have one of these R4B modified receivers. I really
appreciate your correspondence in sharing the findings. I have not yet had the
time to dig into it. Looking forward to the final resolution. Thanks so much.

the fork to the end of the screw then undid the tension adj hex screw.
Of course then the balls started to drop out and I removed the
plastic gear and it's rod by removing the 'clip washer' (not sure what
it's real name is).

That was what I was thinking. Knowing what I know about manufacturing, I
couldn't see a group of people hand-selecting slug segments to make them all as
identical as possible - which is probably why each PTO has those SAT components.
I can remember doing some production testing long ago, where
Hi Paul:
At first, it will appear as a unsulvable puzzle trying to remove the rod
and yke from the frame. But keep at it..it will come out without
bending and go back in. Takes me a few minutes every time to figure out
how mto rotate it around to get it past the guide rod that is fixed into
I know from trying it that one will play in the other, but...here it
comes, drumroll.the linearity will not be right. I isn't bad enough
to call it a junker, but may not be in spec from end to end. Not sure
if there are "light" perm cores intermixed or what, but something is
different fro
