Juan, these old Clark's use a "deck number" to identify the correct packing kit. If you are standing on the forks facing the machine you should see this number stampedon the outer channel about waist high. A triple mast will start with a "M" then about 4 numbers. I have done several of these through the years on the 355 trucks, a 685 is the same style, just bigger. It's pretty complicated to get out and also to disassemble.

Fact of the week
The origin of "love" as the score zero in tennis is debated, but two main theories prevail. One suggests it's derived from the French word "l'oeuf" (egg) which resembles the shape of the number zero. The other proposes it's related to the Dutch word "lof" meaning "honour" as players might be playing for honour when scoreless.
