got a "old" 1959 3 hp briggs and I,d like to keep it original if possible . I need to do some referb work on the flywheel housing so I was wondering if anybody has done some thing like I need to do to mine.
first, where the rope comes out of the hsg, mine has a deep rope groove worn into it, has anybody fixed this problem on there hsg. ? if so how ?
second-
the 4 tabs that hold the rope reel in are all broken off. has anybody made new tabs and installed new friction washers on there hsg. ? if so how'd you go about it ?
thanks for the info and any tips you might have/suggest
