There are 16 pages in our Ratchet thread. http://www.papawswrench.com/vboard/index.php?topic=128.0 (http://www.papawswrench.com/vboard/index.php?topic=128.0)  The answer might be there. If nothing else, it is an education in ratchet works.

smokey,

90% of the vintage ratchets I've encountered do no require ratchet repair kits.  They just need to be taken apart, cleaned, lubed and reassembled.
