Product Description
Mitchell 82593 Rotor – Genuine Replacement for 301A Series
Restore the smooth, balanced rotation of your left-hand retrieve vintage spinning reel with the Mitchell 82593 Rotor. This authentic replacement component is specifically designed for the 301A series, serving as the core of the line-winding system. The rotor houses the bail assembly and must remain perfectly balanced to ensure an even line lay and a wobble-free retrieve.
As a genuine Mitchell part, the 82593 is manufactured to the exact weight and density specifications required for left-hand retrieve (right-hand crank) models, maintaining the mechanical harmony of the planetary gear system.

Technical Insight: The 82593 rotor is specifically balanced for left-hand retrieve oscillation. Using a right-hand rotor (such as the 82592) on a 301-series reel can result in improper bail tripping and significant vibration.

Maintenance & Lubrication Recommendations
The rotor assembly contains several high-impact moving parts, including the bail spring and trip lever. To ensure a lightning-fast bail snap and smooth rotation, proper lubrication is required.
-
Bail Mechanism: Apply Deuthlon Reel Oil to the bail arm pivot points and the internal kick lever. This ultra-low friction oil prevents the bail from becoming "sluggish" and provides superior protection against saltwater spray.
-
Pinion Interface: When mounting the rotor, apply a light coat of Deuthlon Reel Grease to the pinion gear threads and the rotor nut. Its specialized formula prevents the rotor from seizing onto the shaft and shields the internal gearing from moisture and debris.
Why Choose Genuine Mitchell 82592?
A genuine Mitchell 82593 rotor ensures that the bail trip ramp aligns perfectly with the housing strike. This prevents "half-trips" that can snap your line during a cast. Replacing a dented or warped rotor with this original factory part restores the factory-spec balance, extending the life of your main shaft and pinion bearings.
