9n Governor Shaft replacement

[Tim Bozeman]

I am trying to replace my govenor shaft on my 9n, Got all the old parts pressed off. I reassembled everything and was ready to press teh gear back on the front, but the gear just slides on. What should I do to keep the gear in place? braze it, tack weld it?

Tim......NO WELD, eh!!! Me? I have spring loaded center punch and I'd punch abuncha pricks all around the governor shaft where the gear is supposed to fit. Then press yer gear on. Simple, eh? ......Dell

Let's add a little "High Strength Loctite Bearing and Sleeve Retainer" and call it a "strawberry fit".

(If you've ever seen centerpunch pricks on a shaft slathered with red Loctite you'll understand the term "strawberry fit"!)
