I noticed they sell O-ring for snout spacer and the felt washer. I don't remember having an O-ring for snout spacer on my 01201N Dempster when I took apart. Where does it go? Thanks

Jerry , the snoot spacer o-ring would be for the later model #12A. Looks like yours is a #12 which doesnt require that.

What is the correct sequence to reassembling the main shaft? Is the first part the spiral oil chaser then the spring and then front bearing? If so, how do you compress the spring and hold in place to get the steal washer in place? Hope these arent stupid questions....
Thanks for all the help.
