Crank
This crank is off my Humanola project. I'm stumped how the missing wooden crank grip would be attached to this thing. There are no threads, grooves, scratches,or marks, just the smooth shaft. ? Cheers

Re: Crank
That was my thought, also. It would be like an axle cap on a toy automobile... or, since you will have to make a knob, you could drill and tap the end for a retaining screw.alang wrote:Maybe there was a press-fitted end cap that got lost?

Re: Crank
Thanks for the responses. This thing is off a common motor "Motor of Quality," George Vollema had one almost identical, one of the benefits of off brand machines---- no one will ever know the crank is not original. I imagine there are very very few people familiar with a Humanola......

Re: Crank
Received the replacement crank. The part on the end of the axle, on which the knob rides, is metal and an intregal part of the crank. Perhaps the knob was in half and put on the axle and glued back together..
