Craig:
Most bent crank links happen when the shotgun, or Rake Trip Assembly, comes unlatched when sweeping. The angle iron on top seven side is supposed to prevent this, IE, the rake dropping behind the tailplank at 180. With the shotgun latched, run the rake back to 180, at that point the angle iron should just be touching the rabbit ear while the bottom of angle is nestled snug against the machine frame. If a straight model A, with no shotgun, please respond as other problems exist.
