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

[Jerry Frost]

I've spent some more time with the crow bar narrowing in on the sloppy point 
and it is in the treadle at the pivot bolt and the pivot bolt is nice and 
snug. The rest of the treadle linkage is pretty snug and right for pushing 
100 so I'm thinking I need to unwallow the hole in the left treadle arm at 
the pivot. I'm pretty sure the next step is taking it apart a little bit but 
we have an annual event coming up this weekend and I need to do some PW work 
before the show.
