Re: 1950 Martin 60 Crankshaft Top Thread Broke

Thanks Tom. I thought I might eventually just have to get a new/replacement crankshaft. I was hoping that I could salvage this simply on the premise of trying to preserve old parts. This isn’t a particularly nice motor, they cut the lower shroud and hacked off the fuel shut-off valve and put on one of those weed eater type red plastic fuel filter. I just don’t have a 7hp motor and wanted to make this one a decent runner as economically as possible. Appreciate your input!
