[AT] Hand Crank Pin

[Larry D Goss]

Gene has a good idea, Keith.  Did the pin come out?  Or did it leave a stub 
in the crank?  My guess is that the original was a standard hardened pin and 
was held in place with an upset area in the middle of the pin.  Rural King 
may have some of those pins.  A single roll pin won't have enough strength 
to do the job, but you may get away with dual roll pins installed inside 
each other.
