I took out the crane lock from my 741 and the angled edge of the lock towards
the cylinder is worn. There is a ridge on it where its been worn.
 Do I need a new one or do I just file the ridge down?Â
There is also some back and forth movement in the crane. I will search the forum to see if there is a way to tighten up the crane. Is there a way?

Are you talking about what seems to be an angled groove on the right corner, facing directly at the camera lens? If so, I wouldn't worry about it...that part doesn't engage the slot in the frame as much as the wider straight part does.

Yes, some how it must get hammered when shooting.

Would replacing the crane lock with a thicker crane lock or put a shim in with the crane lock help take up the slop in the crane?

DW said " 006" is too much endshake. Likely you need a new crane lock and maybe an end shake shim?"
I will send it to DW for service.
The mark in the crane lock was not damage. It scraped off. Don't know what it.
