26er not level?
« on: April 02, 2018, 07:00:43 AM »
I believe there was a thread about the 26er not standing level? I can't find it
It's a 2009
Mine does not stand level it seems like sitting back some. Anyone know why or how to correct?
I know maybe cutting the leg maybe correct but what's the deal-lee O yo?

Oh yeah. Got that 26r lean going on. I think it was a problem with where the sockets were welded on. Some have registered and got sent a new bowl under warranty I believe.

I cut an inch or so off the top of the front leg. I put the grill on a level surface and used a long level to determine how much to cut. It’s easy.

I musta got lucky.  My “DE” sits all prim & proper.  It really looks like your rear leg sockets are mounted high.

Obviously looking for a Glen Blue (who isn’t?😂).

Looking for anything Happy Cooker, including any re-branded as Montgomery Ward.  I’ve amassed a nice collection, but I’m missing a few still.  Let me know if you can help a fella out🤞

Yep, it's a manufacturing defect which is why I have an "extra" 26 bowl I don't know what to do with. Might make a nice fire pit for marshmallows and hot dogs.

I could make another complete 26 with modified/longer rear legs, but buying the rest of the parts isn't cost effective compared to waiting for another to show up used. I don't even want to add up what a lid, grates, handles, lid bale, sweeps, triangle, wheels and so on would cost.

And new sweeps, too? I got new acorn nuts for the wheels. Gotta love those silent upgrades.

Both seem random freebies, but maybe you told 'em your sweeps are going bad.

And you're second in line for that lid, Mister!

I go my my lid and sweeps replaced...but not because it’s not level. The porcelain popped off inside the bowl and the bottom of the sweeps had some rust.
