1920s gear lock

[Leif Holmberg]

I don`t think I`m the only one that have tested to remove the gear lock from the 1920s transmission case cover! Without luck?

But today I decided to check how it was fitted on the t.c.c.

I cutted off the lock piece from the t.c.c and this`s how it looks inside.

To me it seems impossible to remove the lock without a lock key.

I was trying to help a man with a 1927 Master model 54 in Finland (Suomi)and tell him how to do to remove the lock! That`s why I did this"operation".

Leif:

 Thank you for the review of the operation. I am glad the locks work on the transmissions for both my cars!

Leif, 

       This is good to know, but if you take the numbers off the lock cylinder,  and contact Jessersclassickeys.com you can have a new key made.   They will cut you a new key on an original Yale key blank.  There are probably others that will do this.  They made a new key for me and it works great.    Yours looks like a K534      Hugh

A good locksmith can cut a new key. I asked the other day: there are at least three methods when presented with a lock. One uses a scope to look inside. Another uses feelers of some sort.
