    Hello
    So this time I manned up and measured the threads to be 3/8-16 and got a the extra large 1-7/8” diameter Solid Stainless Steel HeMan’s tractor knob! LOL
    It is very slick and comfy! Approx $40 How does it look?

    About $40 but I will never have to by another one and easier to grab on to. :)
