Did a little testing with the aid of my son. Studied the linkage as he pressed stomp starter. Definitely works more often now than it doesn't. Have a little interference with the engine to frame ground strap and the spring. Thought I did it the way in Denny's pics but may need to study that closer. Not a big deal, just rubs a little bit when releasing. Sprayed some PB on the various joints.

Questions:
1) I am wondering now if I have some goofiness with the switch. Is it possible to get a weak closure of the circuit and get enough voltage to spin the motor, but not enough to push the drive into position?

2) There's a large hole on the housing with what appears to be a flat screw plugging it. Is this some sort of inspection hole or lube access?

Also played with some of the electrical stuff. Was surprised that both headlights and taillights work. 2 out of 3 cab marker lights. Horn works almost too well. Heater fan runs. No life at the dome light, turn signal or radio. But I'm shocked that so much works after sitting for 30+ years.
