[AJD] Model B Rod Torque

[Robert L. Holtzer]

My B has slotted nuts and cotter pins for retention of the nuts.  The 
amount of torque required to move one slot rotation can be 
substantial.  It will be interesting to see comments from experienced 
list members.  While my B has done well for a number of years, I 
recall being quite concerned about the rod torquing!  There was a 
great deal of difference between bolts.
