Interesting setup, Dennis. What is the vertical rod gizmo out on the end with the gear drive?
DennisS:
That is the operating lever for manually engaging the clutch. Mabe a bit of overkill in size. See attached.

DennisS:
Switch operating the solenoid.

Well, it is a bit large, but it does look nice! You do nice work. :)

I may need to do something like that on my clutch project. I have it workable now, but the sleeve does tend to stick a bit at either extreme. In a way that is nice. I know it won't ever move on its own. But if I find it to end up being more effort than I like to move the sleeve and work the clutch, I can add a lever something like what you did. But I think it would be inverted, pointing down, as it would be just to the right of the control box.

I took a few pictures tonight. I'll work on getting them posted here.
