JPG, the arm and crank system is simpler to understand how to use and cheaper to make which is why I believe it became standard on later Model 10's.

The rod is course adjusted and the block/disk small knurled knob(#2) or setscrew(#1) is tightened. Then the large knurled knob provides fine adjustment?

There seems to be a lot of broken ones out there... I keep my posts waxed but if I ever broke it I would redesign it.

I think the SPT Adapters and Power Mount Coupling kit are kind of rare.

The SPT Adapter Kit Bruce shows is rare and the original coupler set is too but the coupler and hubs are still available today in their revised form.
