Thank you. I wish more had done this originally.
I was thinking that there might be one of the wheel pulley machines that may have actually had it in the manual, not that it would have been read or done.
Oh, for those of you youngsters that don't know what a clothespin is...or those that don't have one of these laying around as always use a dryer, a wooden spoon or pencil or even a pot holder folded up will work. The main thing is keeping the rubber drive pulley thing off the handwheel and especially when it is put away and gravity is working.
