I'll check it out. That might just be it. When I brought it in for service a
little while ago, the tech told me that the clevis pin was "trashed" (i.e. no
good), and he took it out, and managed to put in a small bolt to hold it. It
did make a big difference. Hmm... maybe it does just need a washer or two.
Hopefully... I like simple fixes!!
Thanks. Much appreciated.
