[AT] Allis RC Pulley question

[Phil Auten]

Just to be 100% sure, I checked my RC this afternoon when I got home.
It is as I remembered, with just the bolt/locknut to engage/disengage and
hold it in the selected position. A lever would be nice if I used the belt, 
I'll
have to keep an eye out for something.
