It works perfectly! I keep the drive engaged with one hand and can
adjust the chute with the other without stopping. Well, it isn't
_quite_ perfect: there is less throw on the engaging rod and the tension
adjustment is a bit of a compromise. But well worth it.

"Tain't perfect, but it will work until we can afford Real
Repairs."

Reminds me of the story of the college edumacated Forestry Major,
who could not figure out how to get a set of pilings into a river, in
order to replace the bridge washed out in the spring break up, so that
logs could get to the mill (and paychecks could come back.) Gave up
and the woods rat, cobbled together a crib from logs (they was in the
middle of the Great North Woods) weighted it with rocks, and skidded
it off the remains of the bridge approach with a bulldozer. Over it
went, down is sunk and - viola!, two piers for a bridge. Okay, so a
bit off centered, and somewhat askew - but hey, it only had to last
until winter.
