    My grandpa just gave me his today it’s 53 years old it’s a power master 760 it’s got an old little 4/15 scope sadly the iron sights popped off as soon as he handed it to me and the pumping handle is not there so I’ll have to buy a new one and it does shoot but I’m going to make sure the seals are good

    Good to see you again! Be careful. ScoutCrafter may sneak in and take that Scout tin. Interesting air gun. Hope to see the finished product. Thanks for the fun! :-)

      Thanks Mark, yes every time I see that tin I think of Scout and Old Shovel.

    My pastor from my church gave me his old 760 he had as kid as a gift when I helped him move stuff out of his old home. It was just sitting in my room for a while and checked on TH-cam to see if there was any way to fix it up. Thankyou!

    The brass ring comes off with the aluminum washer below it without damaging anything. All you have to do is rip off the old felt, insert an open-end 7/16" wrench into that slot, put the wrench firmly in a vise and tap the center aluminum down with a punch which will separate the brass from the aluminum piston. Replace the seal and felt, tap it gently back together, and reinstall.

      @tfknauss  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes me too,, with all the seals used, it doesn't take much to loose air. May end up just as a "old hand me down" collector piece.

    Interesting to see how you rebuilt the piston. I'll remember if I ever need to rebuild my newer 66 Powermaster. Hopefully it won't be that hard.

    • @tfknauss
      @tfknauss  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks Robert, Ibelieve the newer ones are like my 2200,, you can with your fingers pull the piston cup off and replace it with a new one.

    Hello, I have. A Crosman 760 Powermaster exactly as yours. There is no serial number anywhere. I've owned it since the early 70's. Not sure of the model year. It does not hold pressure. Can you please help me locate the proper parts and info needed to repair it? Your video was very helpful. Is the press on cap all that is needed? Thank you, Mike

    • @tfknauss
      @tfknauss  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello Mike, Appreciate you watching the video. I have yet to finish repairing my 760.. The company and others to make some replacement parts don't have all the parts to this "time period" of crosman. The early (or First style) 760 takes different parts than the late 70s-80s I found out. I will make a short video of my situation, but I have a missing screw and need to adjust the valve system as well, its not holding air yet. I may have to buy a similar one for a parts gun,, and its not cheap on ebay. Too bad too because they are great guns.

      It's a plunger, but not built like the newer models. I am still having issues adjusting the replacement I found on-line. My newer models were easy to replace, but the first series models are giving me issues.
