great find bud.
For some odd reason I’ve only got them with the PTO bearing as a spinner, either the crank or the bearing was outside specification.

I had been looking for felling dawgs as I had some needing them. There is a local guy that burned me some on his plasma machine. I did some final sanding, filing, and painted.
Second pic is oem, third the the new mild steel. Worked out good.

Picked up another 42 special locally. Little cleaning, correct spark plug, one missing recoil screw and one missing av bolt. The choke lever was on backwards, the throttle was not fully opening up and it runs good.

The carburetor didn’t suit me on tuning, I removed the Welch plug over top of the main nozzle, closed it off, new Welch plug. Opened up the air filter with a unibit to match inlet elbow better, closed off the factory muffler outlet with sheet metal, and added some fish gill slots ahead of the brake flag to move the heat away.

Too bad shipping across the pond would probably be insane, would really like to add a 238 to the collection. That and a 42 and I'll have all of the family I think I am going to find. Not holding my breath for a 133.

A few more pictures now that it's home on my bench. Gillardoni quad transfer open port cylinder.
Looks like it spent more of its life on a shelf/in a truck than actually doing anything.
Dad had one decaled like this one, and a slightly later one with the special script on the recoil that did have a closed port cylinder. The fellow who dad gave most of his collection is pretty sure he still has it, but I haven't been able to meet up with him while I have been on vacation in the 2 years since dad passed(3000km away so it isn't just a quick trip.)
