What holds the knob to the lever on an 801 lift?

Was it cast on? Is it removable/replaceable? It seems to be on pretty tight!

It was cast on. No need to remove. 2 bolts hold it to friction plate.

You can always use a MAGNET to test a material for a ferrous metal. If it sticks, it is magnetic and made of iron. If it doesn't, probaby aluminum, pewter, or zinc. A bare unpainted/exposed part will oxidize fast so if it shows signs of rust, that is another quick test as well. Your knob looks to me like it is a non-ferrous part but Shaun may know better. I also is probably a press fit.

Bingo.

Not meant to be removed.

Not to pirate your thread, but does anyone have a good replacement idea for a knob that is missing?

This site has the assembly new.

Umm, why would you want to take it off?

BTW, I learned the hard way not to force the lever if the friction disk is frozen: I snapped the lever right off. Must be a common mistake because the local CNH dealer had the friction disk hub in stock.

I wanted to chrome plate the lever, minus the knob.

That would look nice.

I think that they can use some sort of masking on the rest of the part when they do the chrome plating and then remove it afterwards.

Have one with plate if you need it
