Hey, Hotrod, Sorry so long getting back to you! Every day duty, you know. Appreciate you answering my thread! It did the trick,
though I spent an hour trying to stab the drive. I eventually bumped the starter and it fell in. I'm sure you were aware of that trick but it's not advisable to pass to a newbie, do to timing. I proudly believe I would have eventually hit upon the clamp thing, tho it's
in the 90's now and I wasted two days believing in my skill. Anyway, the oil gauge jumped to 30 lbs. Hopefully I didn't cause any permanent damage. STOVEBOLT IS A WINNER AGAIN. Thanks friend, hope to hear from you again down the dirt road!
