The last one In retrospect dumping the salt OUT OF the bags into wheel
barrow ( clean) spreading around the pool with shovel might of been a better
idea, to bad I didn't think of that.

The cogs on the shaft look fine. Have you oiled the mechanism? 25
years is a long time without oil. :)

You may also need new crank handles if the handle cogs are worn. You
can test this by borrowing handles from windows that rarely get
opened.

Crank handles are not hard to get.
