Tree 2uvr-c quill handle, z clutch

Quill handle on the Tree was missing the stuff that holds the handle on. The parts book is not clear on what it should look like. There was the vestige of a spring left. Guessed and made a spring and retainer that will allow the handle to come out and reindex where you want it. I used a 5/16 bolt with the head turned to .430 round and a random spring bent to fit. The spring must have been held in place because one end was bigger and fit behind the lip of the hole in the end of the shaft. You can wind it in and it stays.

Made a brass washer to fit, a cadmium plated nut and a brass acorn nut to hold it on with a little preload. The handle pulls out and will hold after reindexing. I'd like to see what it looked like from the factory.
