    Talking Did it!!!

    I just did this adjustment this weekend... Holy cow what a difference!

    No need to remove the fan shroud. I doubled-up (end to end) two combination wrenches to make a long, almost 2 ft long box wrench. Worked like a charm. I only had to turn the center screw from about 2 o'clock to 3 o'clock until it stopped, then re-tightened the lock-nut.

    VERY happy with the result of this.

    Hey Jim (99VC), you may want to do this on yours. I remember it had a little slop when I owned it. VERY easy adjustment. Took about 2 minutes... most of which was getting the tools out of the box.

    I've got almost no (or very little) slack in mine. Besides T4B won't cut me any.
    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..
    "He's not in, may we take a message?"

    Must be the wide bucket ... provides a stable platform.

    To quote a former bestus bud of mine, "I have no response to that."
