Rip fence reassembly

Does anyone know where to get an exploded view of the Model 500 rip fence. The one I got with my 1954 Greenie was in bad shape so I had to take it apart completely to clean and polish. Now I am having a problem getting it back together. I can probably get it together with a little patience but if someone has the exploded view that would make it faster. I usually take some pics but this looked simple....NOT! It cleaned up real nice now I just have to reassemble it. I looked on the SS site but they only have exploded views of the newer fences unless I missed it????

I found it interesting that many of the parts shown in this link are still available from Shopsmith even though the top level numbers no longer cross.

Perhaps these will help.

The washer between the clamp and the handle spacer[179,186](not visible in either pix) is the most exasperating part of reassembly.

Ron,
That is perfect thanks so much. And JPG thank you as well that is very helpful as well to see yours assembled. I had it right but the damn square nut at the end of the fence is giving me fits. The washer that you don't appreciate hasn't given me any issues. The damn nut though is going to be the death of me..........
