Found a nice little toy on that big auction site, complete with the requisit paint spatter! Overall it is in very good shape. I brushed a little surface rust off, no pitting, and need to square the iron. I would like some advice/recommendation. The tote is a little loose and the screw is bottomed out. How can I fix this short of replacing the tote? I may be able to find a couple brass washers to shim it with, but there is not much clearance.

don't forget to put a nut on the shaft before shortening...then use the nut to clean up the threads that may be damaged by grinding, sawing, etc.

Doubtful he can find a nut to fit it.

Rod is an odd size, 32nd under a 1/4"
