Hi Joey, Your project is completed! For next time, here’s a suggestion: remove the set screws from the shaft collars. Use a drill bit that fits the threaded hole and drill into the shaft to create a conical indent about 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch deep. This way, when the set screw is tightened, it won't distort the shaft, making dismantling easier. I hope this helps! Play safe from Elliot Lake, Ontario, Canada.
I got one of these for 30 dollars on Facebook market place. Calipers were shot. Knobs missing. I ordered new calipers.... $14 On Amazon. Made knobs out of rubber bungs. Took it apart, cleaned it. Oil and grease Already made my money back and then some. Triple... Im making a tray for it now out of a lid I found from an igloo cooler. Thanks ... I still need to work on setting its alignment to the hair. I wouldike to fully restore it. But...parks parts are a little pricey.
Oh nice! I used to work at a Schwinn shop in the mid 80's and they had one with the Schwinn decals. I'm pretty sure that's the original Park stand or the TS-1, although I don't think they had models for them until the TS-2 came out.
The rebuild kits with updated parts are pretty inexpensive all things considered. The difference in before and after makes a HUGE difference in feel and the ability to easily adjust the truing stand moving forward.

Good job as usual! Thanks! (Damn, I now have to do the same to mine!)
Go for it! This stand is SO nice to use now! Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback, I really appreciate it!
Have to do the same to mine. My spring is rather rusty though. Any tips for getting it in better shape?
Nice video. Mine is ancient. I bought it from a retired Schwinn dealer. The decals say Schwinn Approved rather than Park.

I don’t think I have ever seen a mechanic torque the arms too much.
Interesting. Thanks
You're welcome! I've been wanting to update this thing for a while and glad I finally did it. Thanks for commenting!
if it isn't broken, don't 'fix' it.
just clean it.
