Re: Scott Atwater, 1958 10 hp, drive shaft pin?

[jim-moffatt]

That pin is a SOB to remove in an original engine (dont ask how I know). It is a steel pin 1/8" OD and just long enough to fit the collar. its purpose is to locate the drive shaft vertically so it doesnt ride up and down and foul the impeller drive pin. Any pin that is a tight fit like a 1/8 roll pin ground to correct length would work. I have used a 1/8" drill bit ground to length
