Yeah. Luckily they spun off together when I turned the screwdriver on front. But I'll probably have to sacrifice a wrench to the grinder to get it adjusted right when I put it back together.

I was able to clear out the hole on the PTO lever with a punch. Whatever was in there popped right out. It's not magnetic, so maybe it was the older fiber button.

However, I can't get your brass button in. What is the size of the shaft? I'm thinking maybe the hole has a burr on it or something. I'll just run a drill through it the right size.

Up next.. I notice the front bolt is missing from the starter. I didn't remove the entire thing yet, I'm hoping it's just missing and not broke. We shall see...

That the arm off and press it in using a vise. It's supposed to be a tight fit ( interference fit--small bits will shear off as it's pressed into place )
