[TheForge] New subject, a little tweeking on my LG help please

[Jerry Frost]

No bushings at present, one long bolt and the left side of the treadle at 
the pivot bolt is wallowed out so if I press the treadle on the left side I 
have to mash it nearly to the floor to get the hamer to engage. I used a pry 
bar and did a little jiggling to confirm (hopefully) the wallowing is 
actually the treadle arm and not the casting on the hammer frame as I was 
afraid.
