Sure did. Is there a workaround or am I condemned to long URLs?

That handle mod is completely cool. I am using the Mini Hoe more, and would LOVE to do this mod. Can you give a few more detail close-up shots so that I can understand what you are doing a little bit better? I can't understand how you got it all to work - I need a list of parts, and a little more pictorial breakdown to understand what you did.

Thanks,

I don't know how pop up blockers work, but see if there are any setting for preferred URLs maybe???

You can always do the URL thing maunally. Remember? Before the upgrade we had to put them in by hand.

Good to know some of us remember the esteemed Rube. That is one elegant solution. I gotta try it! Back when I still had a working minihoe I started in thinking along the lines of some ball joint linkage etc and just dropped it. Too complicated. I like your solution - a great bodge.

Attached is a more detailed picture as requested. The only parts are a piece of 3/8” All-Thread rod with 2 nuts and flat washers and a short rubber utility tie down strap secured with a ¼-20 X 1” bolt. This thing is childishly simple. What makes it work is the elastic properties of the rubber providing support yet allowing off center movement without binding. I consider this a crude prototype hastily assembled with materials I had on hand. I am moving from Downingtown, PA to Florida next week and will be without internet service for some time so please forgive my lack of response for the next few weeks. When I get back online I will be curious to learn of any experiences other PT folks have with this design idea.

I was looking at some older posts and noticed that we have not heard from you in a long time.
Did you end up moving the knee lever?

Well, I made my first modification!

Added the knob to the wheel...

I know, I know, that's not much of a mod, but it's a start!
