Chris,
I have been down this road a few times with “common stuff”. I have a starage building full of common motors that I have bought to get parts for my projects. The funny thing is that they all have common problems, LOL. I know what you mean. I just did not like the idea of buying 3-4 more TNs to get a good shaft. The free motor that I have is going to be the most over priced TN on the planet by the time i’m done with it. I found a good shaft that was already out.
I was givenn this motor with a P-30 that I bought. It was so ugly that the guy said I had to take it with the P-30. The tank must have been leaking at the seam, so someone cut a notch out of the back of the tank and installed a Techuseh snoblower tank across the back. I tried to haul it to the scrap on 2 occasions, but it just kept sneaking out of the pile. This will teach me LOL.
Has anyone ever has to re-rivet the fiber lining onto the pivot tube? It looks like the rivets were brass. I am gussing that I need to make something to fit up inside the tube to be able to work as a buck and peen the rivets over to hold the liner????
