Yes, sir!
Remember, all I need is the main drive pulley (11/8" shaft). It has four holes in it for the flat clutch plate.

I knew. Back in the early Fabulous Fifties (1950's) the Duncan Yo-Yo trick team used to put on demos in our local theaters and schools. Everybody, no matter how bad they were at it, always carried one or more yo-yos around with them. Some had the showy "Whistlier" or a glittery plastic one, my favorite was a plain laquered wood one...
Everything old is new again, especially guys that buy JD 1026's.

I remember that! I think it even went into the 60's.

Fascinating. I really enjoyed his description of finding his passion, I'm going to show this to my boys, show them what can happen when you become passionate about something.
I remember "the State of Yo"!
