Im not too old to learn something!!! I had heard rumors about changing the position of the belt pulley on the little giant. I verified it with Little Giant, soooo if you are rebuilding a little giant you can simply put on a longer main shaft and put the pulley on the back. This does several things, it makes adjustments easier, belts go on and off for the electric motor super slick, and maintaining the clutch itself is a dream. I have been getting the budget ready for the 100 pounder and it needs a new main shaft anyway.also you will need a new clutch rod to the foot treadle. good luck on all your projects........ JIM
