I don’t care for reels that are designed this way. I am not a spincast reel guy and what I know about them has largely been taught to me by you on your many spincast videos. Why didn’t you lubricate that crankshaft? Maybe you did not need to do that. I don’t know. 😊you did a fine job on this Shakespeare Rick. I don’t like having to compress a spring down with my fingernail. You told me you tried to put a spring in orbit. I literally could not see that little chip piece holding in that spring. This reel would have defeated my very poor vision! ‘You did a fine job making that spring. This is not a particularly complicated reel but you certainly got it back together beautifully! - Chris
Chris, there was no need to lube the crankshaft since the sleeve it slid into had already been oiled. I did manage to find the spring the next day but that's how it happens sometimes. I don't mind compressing the spring with my nail as long as I don't have to hold it down too long. I agree that the tiny wire clip was hard to see. I have no doubt that you could have handled it with some practice.
Dan, why do you suppose Shakespeare made so many different models that were almost exactly the same. It almost seems as though they were trying to capture as many patents as they could so that no one else could compete against them.
@ I suspect that it was a dog-eat-dog market in the spincast world. The spincast reels of that era were starting to compete with the growing acceptance of spinning reels, so there was a lot of competition in the market.
I noticed that you installed the washer ahead of the pinion gear when you reassembled the drive shaft. It looked like it was on top of the pinion gear (spring side) during disassembly. Does it matter what order that washer goes on?
Dan, you are correct that the washer was on top of the pinion gear when I took it apart. The washer seems to do a good job of spacing the pinion away from the body of the reel if it’s underneath. I don’t really think it makes much difference.
@@youngmartinsreels5314 I like to put the washer against the frame during reassembly of Shakespeare spincast reels. I feel that it helps align the gear teeth for less chatter and adds longevity to the pinion gear.
All of those are valid points but my biggest reason was to prevent the teeth of the pinion from scrapping on the frame. You guys think a lot harder than I do. 😄
Jay, I call anything that is made from spring wire a spring. Technically, I think you are more correct, in that it retains the axle shaft and holds it up once you push the button. However, I have enough trouble remembering what I call things, so I guess I’ll probably stick with D spring. Thanks for the input.
This is the second reel my father bought my brother and I. I still have it. Cheers
Nice reel.
Picked it up at an Estate Sale. It was pretty stiff, but it cleaned up pretty nice.

That's one Shakespeare spincast reel that I don't have in my collection. I have the 1766 and 1767 which are close to the 1765 design.

hi having trouble line will not release ??
Check to see if the rotor is staying up after you release the button like it does at the 20:54 point in the video. If not the line will not release.
works good button stays down put line on will not release line all reels work good without line
Herman, how old is the line. Once it’s been on for a few years it sets a memory and won’t want to release from the spool.
The line is new
If the line is new and the rotor is staying up when you let go of the button, the only thing left would be sharp or rough edges on the spool.
Spring?................ That was/is a RETAINER CLIP "
