I'll have a drawing for you a little later today.

Did you check with billmayo. Reference the immediately preceding post. It sounds like he has what you need.

I'll look tomorrow to see if I can get to the bushings to which you refer without too much difficulty.

I am sorry. I went to the shop this morning to evaluate what needed to be done. I am not willing to do the tear down that would be necessary. There was a time when I had the necessary enthusiasm to do such a tear down but I fear that enthusiasm has eluded me.

I too encountered that 'problem' last night although the lack of sufficient light may have something to do with that.

After looking at the exploded drawing, I 'think' removing the c clip retaining the bushing behind the control lever base will allow fairly simple removal and replacement.

Later today maybe.

Yep

That's the way. Takes about 30 seconds.

Have mine apart and will have drawing when I get back home in a bout 2 hours.

thanks i appreciate it

Here's a crude drawing for the bushing.

All dimensions are actuals off of one of my bushings.

The corners are chamfered with exception of squared opening.

Here's where I'm at today:

I will check with my shop manager and see if we can't re-work a couple of 3/4" deep-well 3/8" sockets. There's enough metal to get the dimensions we need and already have 3/8" square bore.

Already have the sockets; OD and 3/8" are perfect. Test fitted them on one of my machines.

I will let you know...

Very clever!!!

Parts are on my desk!

Send me a PM with an address so I can get them to you.
