I have had one or two that had the same problem, the "pin" will twist forward and back. It makes adjusting the pto rock shaft difficult and the spring for the safety switch won't hold the button on the switch in, unless you pull the handle back when you turn the key.

I replaced the handles rather than trying to fix the old ones, I didn't look real close, but IIRC it doesn't look like it will come apart without cutting the weld at the bottom of the chrome handle and I don't know if you can get in there to weld anything without making a mess of the whole thing.

Yup, that's it. OK so replacement is the answer then. Thanks.
As to photos I am maxed out just typing, and do not have or want the ability to post photos.
