Hello
I have a 1953 Jubilee and need some help with the Acorn nut and valve that goes to the lift cylinder . Can anyone post some pictures of how the cylinder should look where the tube fits on.
I removed the acorn nut and backed out the threaded portion about 4 turns, to avoid damage. When I got the lid off I did not find any flat O ring and it looked like the small flare on the casting side was damaged from Previous owner removing the lid.
I also noticed there was not a clamp to hold the tube in place and did not see a stub sticking inside to even install it on? When I backed out the treaded portion with a screw driver I also noticed that the valve was very close to the slot in the thread portion and my screw driver barely fit into the slots, is this Normal
