I am going to try to tap a bolt in. I’ll let you know if I need a new part. Thanks.

Thanks

Count twice, you don’t want to be caught in a bad situation. Ha. Thanks for your help.

Thanks everyone. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Must have been squeezed on at the factory.

I see now. Mine did shear off. I wonder how I can fix this. Was thinking about drilling and taping a bolt and washer to hold it on. Thank you.

Thanks. That’s the problem.

I know what you mean. I appreciate it. Thanks.

Thank you. Maybe you could take a look at yours the next time your around your plane. Post a photo. See how the red tube is attached. I am just stumped. Thanks.

No other parts where found. The red tube does slide over the blue rod. The red tube has a stop inside that the springs sets into. When the red tube is slid over the blue rod it keeps pressure on the pivot point of the arm assembly. It keeps the arm assembly flush with the side panel, keeps it from swinging out. I believe that there is some type of bolt or screw that holds the red tube on the end of the blue rod. I just can’t tell if what I am seeing is a broken bolt or what. Thanks for your help.

Thank you. My M20F is a ‘75. I do have the manuals but they are vague when it comes to this assembly. I thought it may have been a modification but I have since seen this handle in other Mooneys. See the attached images. I cannot tell what is in the end of the last photo. I may need to go to the airport and take a better photo. It has sharp edges, like something sheared off. The handle still works, it just will not stay folded against the crank arm. Again thank you for your help.

During my last annual my mechanic was testing the emergency gear operation. When they flipped the gear arm out to crank the gear, the red anodized aluminum rod shot off the blue rod. I have the red rod and the spring. My mechanic nor I can figure out how it was attached. Does anyone know how it is assembled? We know something broke but when looking at the end of the blue rod it is next to impossible to tell what broke or how the red rod/spring attached. Thanks.
