Default modified 28 Handcrank not pretty

Picked up this 1895 28 HC this weekend, Very rough.[ATTACH=CONFIG]611938[/ATTACH]

It would turn, but barely. Previous owner mods to the HC

[ATTACH=CONFIG]611939[/ATTACH] three bodged repairs, but hey it works.


[ATTACH=CONFIG]611940[/ATTACH] A stock one by the repaired one.

I am going to leave it repaired. I oiled and cleaned a bit and it makes a fine stich now. I will leave it's wear signs. Not all need to be restored to be beautiful.
