Thanx Tim (and everyone else),
Yes, I'm lifting the bed way to high and it does work better when the tilt
is lower. Curtis , thank you for the reference of that company in
Austraila, they have something called an extender that pushes the chuck out

Hi Roger,
Thanx to you (and Andy) that worked. although it still turns pretty hard
once I tighten the gear train back up. If I just let it sit in my hand it
turns with ease, if I just barely tighten the screw it turns OK, and then

I retired last week - Ho-ray!
