Kinda agree. Don't remember them being that small.I'm mighty curious as to where 5-44 thread came from. What i see in the pic with nothing to compare for scale it looks like 10-24.
Could be wrong..

Yeah they don't make it easy trying to find the right partThanks, it's the first I've ever heard of it. Googled it and there's quite a selection.
You just know you're going to come across a junk motor in the near future with one of them on .Well it’s been five months since I posted about this beast. I did repair the wheel that had the rusted egg shaped hole. I cleaned up the wheel then flattened out the area to weld the bushing back on. These bushings just rest in the hole but because it was so damaged the bushing wouldn’t stay. I put some JB weld around the area to smooth it out.

I finally found my governor rod and thumb screw at a reasonable price of around $27. including shipping. I got it three days later and I’m happy with it especially since it’s NOS Briggs. We got rain tomorrow so I’m going to start tinkering with this. I have several brush piles waiting to be chipped and shredded so I’m hoping I get this thing running good.

I’m hoping Bill I can get this governor working right. I broke it before I could work on itYou just know you're going to come across a junk motor in the near future with one of them on .
Isn't that how it goes ?
Your right if I remember I think it’s missing three and a few bent. There is 42 of them and wouldn’t be hard to make. Finding the right type of metal is important. I have a metal shop that I buy from that has treated me good. so I might stop by and see them if this works out good. Free wheeling it’s going to vibrate more.I'm sure with some missing hammers there'll be a balance problem.
It’s not quit that bad. The frame and cabinet are solid. I already found the chipper blade for $30. on Amazon. I might check out a fab shop near me I like a lot on Thursday to see about getting some metal for the hammers. This thing is going to be very handy to have around.Besides the brgs I'd worry about getting cracked sheet metal from the vibration.
It is a little top heavy but not as much as it looks. I don’t like towing a wagon type hookup especially when the pin hitch at the tractor pivots too. It’s like backing up an accordion. I thought about widening the axle or I’m thinking two wheels in the middle of the frame would be easier to maneuver. Not mine but I like this wheel design setup on this one.Good that its working for you Jim. It sure is narrow at the wheels.
