Took a chance and bought a rough mushroom shift knob cheap from Rowdy here on the forum. Heated the frozen shaft up three times and put the wax to it. Made a clamp by drilling a 1 1/2 inch hole in a 2x4 and it came loose pretty easy. Filled the missing chunk with fiberglass bondo and chucked it into the metal lathe and put a file to it. Now all that is left is a little primer and paint! Not the first good Kansas junk I've bought from Rowdy.

Big difference my friend. No offense taken. My family has been in Nebraska since 1858. Can not think of a a single ancestor that lived in Kansas though. Rod
