They sold a lot of these, and as they don’t take
up much room, many are still around. Many
are parts motors. I would buy them mostly,
along with Scouts and Rangers, and build
complete motors. The 1938 I’ve been posting
recently is an example. While gas tanks, gear
cases ,with good gears and the scag still on,
are harder to find, the drive shaft and impeller
assembly were not. I can only remember
having one bad impeller assembly. So- I have
never tried, or had the need, to remove one.
If I was in your situation, and as it is
something I could do, I would mig the bad
end and hand file it to fit the gear. You could
end up with a better fit than when it left the
factory.
