Thanks for putting together this article!  It was very informative and has given me inspiration to repair one of the knobs on my JD 210.

Nice work.. I am in process of doing the same to restore a Power King steering wheel. Will post results if it works as planned.

Thanks for the great idea for fixing old knobs that break when coming off. I'm sure this could come in handy for any restore job big or small.
