Don, its been a while since I had my 50 and do not remember that far back!
But, on my 52 you pull the spring back and slip the cable down into the slot/notch of the lever. Yours may be different as its the Huck brake style.
At least this will give you something to read until an expert gets her.
Oh, you can find the link around here somewhere to the online service manual a bolter has put together. That should help out a lot.
EDIT: how far are you from Spartanburg?? We will be having our Southern Stovebolters 2nd Annual Reunion the 30th of May. Think you can make it?? Send me a PM and let me know. I can put you on the mailing list.
