TKS Folding Cylinder Maintenance Stop

• Machinist Gary Sloan developed a tool to hold the
  folding cylinder in place during maintenance.
• During maintenance on the folding cylinder it is
  often difficult to hold the cylinder from
  rotating, especially after a segment has been
  removed and the cylinder is off balance. This
  tool bolts into existing holes and acts as a
  surface clamp to prevent the cylinder from
  moving.
• Note the roll pin on the back side. This aligns
  the tool and prevents it from swiveling once it
  is in place.
• The two holes in the folder side frame were
  existing on the front folder in PA. The threaded
  hole was existing on the back folder but the hole
  for the roll pin had to be drilled.
