The Park TS-2 is your stand, yes ? (sorry I don't know your name as it isn't shown) The logical first question is, How was the know attached on your stand to begin with ? And to follow that, how was it attached from the factory ? According to their parts diagram the knob is held in place with

I do have the locknut, but it doesn't help. It keeps the knob from turning clockwise once it's snug against it, but counter-clockwise (the unscrewing action) doesn't work. On Fri, Oct 14, 2022 at 1:31 AM Garth wrote: > My first question then is "how was the knob attached to begin with from > the

I'd try something like red Loctite first. Easy to find, easy to apply. If that doesn't work you might try looking for a more robust replacement thread-on knob that has a set screw built in. Find our the pitch of your metal thread and check out McMaster-Carr for "threaded hole knobs." On Frida

Did you watch the video to see exactly how Park does it ? Are you sure you're not bottoming out the knob first before you tension the nut against it ? (They say leave 8 threads after the locknut is threaded on.) Follow the video, that's all I can say. If you say that doesn't work then that do

Have you lubricated the other items along the threaded rod to reduce the amount of torque required to rotated the rod? Boeshield would be good for that. Lubricate the shaft (except for the knob/locknut) and the tighten the locknut real good against the knob. If that doesn't work, the just keep a

I forget to add what Laing already mentioned, I figured the knob was loosening because the shaft wasn't moving freely enough. Hence, people overtighten the knob and break it in trying to compensate for the resistance in the main shaft. If lube isn't enough, a new main shaft kit would apply. O
