Thanks George, If you have a diagram of the drive assy, I shure would
appreciate looking at it Fax (at work) 804-861-0111. I know this is not
complicated I just like to put it all together in my head.. I don't
know  what kind of condition the shaft is in. It seems stainless is the
rule now. Thanks again, I know I will get around to joining the assn.
soon. I can only be in so many things.. Joel
