I'm having one helluva time removing the steering wheel on my 710K. I could swear I've had it off at least once in the past, but this time it just won't budge. I've been using dead blow hammers, 2 and 3 jaw pullers and penetrating oil, all to no avail. I'm wondering if the application of some heat m...

Where in Tucson are you?

I'll take it. Paul I will PM you...

Well, I've looked high & low for that light and simply cannot find it anywhere. I know I have it somewhere as its an item I would never have tossed. All I can find is the plug. Sorry

Hey good news. So after playing and fiddling with the solenoid, including giving it a few whacks with a hammer, it is now working! Power applied in normal fashion and gear kicks out and spins up.

Will re-install in truck tomorrow and hope the lucky mojo sticks around.

So it appears confirmed bad solenoid. I put voltage direct to starter and she spins up fine.

Thanks Bobby, that info is very helpful...

Please share info on that telescoping mast you got on the back there...

I was a good flick, but from a pilot's perspective, a lot of the flying scenes were WAY over
exaggerated! All the shaking, blurring and loud noises, etc. Not realistic at all.
It did however depict a good bio of Neil's life

Not me, but apparently a few have...

Will do. It'll be a week or so before I can get to it though.
I'm currently overseas

There was a purpose built "trouble light" that was intended to go in that socket.
Probably can find one now & again on ebay

So...that is not some kind of push button switch unit there(?)
What's supposed to happen on the opposite side of where the wires attach?
