Looking for depth adjustment bolt for Stanley plane restoration

What size/vintage are you looking for?

How do you take one of those off?
What is the proper method of putting back on?
So far, I have never mess with it on my restores.

Stanley #4/5 (cant remember exactly but is there a difference in the depth adjustment bolt between the two sizes?)

Groy, no there is not.4 and 5 share the same frog

Hp you could double nut it and get it out.I have never needed to take one off either

Yeah the plane I got off of eBay didn’t show that the bolt was missing :/

I may have one. If I forget to look, send me a PM

A couple ways to take them off. Wrap a rag around it and grab it with pliers. Be careful.

That doesn’t always work, so here is another way. Take a piece of strong small rope/string. Tie a loop in one end. Start on the opposite end and wrap it onto itself. Stick a screwdriver threw the loop and start to twist. The rope should tighten onto itself.

^ Knowledge.I will have to remember that rope loop move,thanks Don.

i don’t have a spare right now. The only one I have is chewed up pretty bad and I doubt you’d find it useful.

I’m sure I can spare a rod. I asked about the vintage because it would be easier to just send you the frog. PM me with your shipping info. All it will cost you is postage, so let me know if you want the whole frog.

Highland Woodworking sells a plane rebuild kit with all the needed screws, etc. for Stanleys. Not too expensive either.

I have a newer spare frog you can have, as for messing with the bolt, I don’t think it is worth the time, Just get the right vintage frog, the very old ones do not have the center tab (adjusts the mouth gap) groy87 email me your address, and its yours.
