This is just one video. There are loads of these "repair Mitchell 300" videos on YouTube.
I have an old Mitchell 300 reel and I took the spool off to clean it, so I have a spool, a red washer, a 3 prong thing, and a plastic nut. Where does the washer go? and which way does the 3 prong thing go?
thanks!

Growing up Dad had both the 308 and 410 Mitchell reels. I was Stationed in Greece at his passing, and ALL his outdoor stuff, hunting and fishing, was gone when I got home on emergency leave. I was pretty busy supporting mom and never realized it till after returning to the states later. Mom said it should all be in the garage, but nothing was there. Great reels for sure.
Proud to have served with and supported the Units I was in: 1st IDF, 9th INF, 558th USAAG (Greece), 7th Transportation Brigade, 6th MEDSOM (Korea), III Corp, 8th IDF, 3rd Armor Div.

My dad had a old round back case Quick that he wouldn’t part with, even though it never worked more than a little while. I wasn’t allowed one and by the time I could afford my own there was others that caught my eye. They have an almost cult like following.

I still use the 300 that my father purchased for me in 1957. Use it to bass fish with a no weight weedless rigged plastic worm at the LOZ
