SO before noon I did get a reply, And to quote; "Hi Mike,

I would be happy to, tell me brand of the saw. Pretty sure they are all the same really. Give me some information as how I might be of help. I can give pictures, part number of the jack shaft, and associated information.

It is an easy mod over all.
**KAG .... "

So the ball is now in your corner. How about some info? and we'll ask him for some pics of his. If you have a pic or two of yours it may be helpful.
