| -Note the sliding pointer assembly itself. There are two tie points on this sliding pointer. Take one end of the new main cord and tie it tightly (use a good knot here) around the right tie point. Carefully cut off the excess piece of cord close to the knot. | -Note the sliding pointer assembly itself. There are two tie points on this sliding pointer.

| *Note: The tie point on the right has double duty as both a tie point and rigid pulley of sorts. You will probably move this back and forth during the cord tying process... BUT IT IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT THAT THIS SLIDER BE ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT once the main cord is tied into place. This positioning sets the proper left to right travel for the pointer. | *Note: The tie point on the right has double duty as both a tie point and rigid pulley of sorts.

| - | -(Read this carefully, especially if you did not have an old cord to make a drawing of) There is a shinny fixed pulley immediately to the right of the rectangular dial window. Run the long dial cord over the top of this pin and then back to the right tie point of the pointer slider. You route the cord clockwise around this tie point and then back to the right all the way across the inner front panel to a movable pulley. Run the cord in a clockwise direction over that pulley and then downward diagonally towards the black cam.\\ There is a small fixed pulley point on the right corder of the cam and a much larger fixed pulley point at the axis of the cam. This larger point does not have a flange but don't worry as the front panel keeps the cord from coming off this larger fixed pulley point.\\ Route the cord clockwise one half turn around the bottom surface of the cam's smaller pulley point on the cam and then one-half turn counter-clockwise over the top surface of the larger cam pulley point. Continue the path of the cord towards the inner, larger, shaft portion of the PTO shaft assembly. | + | -(Read this carefully, especially if you did not have an old cord to make a drawing of.)

You will tie off the long cord at this small pin. Read the following Note first. | -Wrap the cord one and a half turns in a clock-wise direction around the PTO inner shaft assembly.
