Nope, it's not there. The trans was taken apart before I got it (bolts were lose) so it's probably lost. Got a wee bit done on the Westwood today. Removed the messy wiring loom and solenoid. Found this rocker switch cover that I'm going to put over the top of the kill switch. Pull start only on this one now, no battery or electrical system to go wrong. Gonna mount the switch here. Made a start on the exhaust. Thinking of doing a stack, seeing as this tractor won't be doing any mad high speed turns etc where it would tip over (I hope ) My uncle has about half a dozen broken gates that have about 1 1/2" tubing. Gonna use that for the stack. Cut the flange off a 11hp briggs exhaust. | |

| Looks good, are you going to have issues with the bolts and the pipe? Looks kind of close to the bolt holes. I have that problem with my sears. | |

| That's what I had to do for the header pipe on the rat rod. It uses Allen head bolts and I took a grinder to the pipe next to the bolts just enough so they would squeeze by.

Gotcha, I need to look into removing the posts from my honda clone to use hex heads instead of nuts. I need to update the exhaust this spring on the sears. | |

Ag's rear and knobbies front. rears are done fronts still need to be completed-front and rear bumpers still to do-dual throttle. courtesy of @RevDogg almost finished-fix fuel leak and mount fuel tank still to do-new exhaust almost finished-build up and lock the peerless 832 still to lock and put it back togetherExhaust is nearly done. Cut to length. May shorten it even more if need be. Started her up today for the first time in a while. There was quite a lot of smoke at the first but it soon cleared up. | |

| Yeah, I can get flames out of it too! The stack just clears the hood. I noticed that the trim around the hood melted once I closed the hood down so I'll have to cut it.
Anyway went to it today and there was a puddle of fuel below the tractor and the oil smelt of petrol. I'll need to take the carb off and take a look at it. | |

| Yep I will. Received my switch, throttle cable and exhaust flapper today. I discovered that my hub for locking the trans isn't 3/4" all the way through it has a lip that goes down to about 17.5mm at the end so I have to get it bored out to 3/4" all the way though. | |

| Man I wish there was a handy chart for that. I lost the bolt for my 16hp twin opposed too last week. I did a lot of googling. I finally figured it out on my own.
I did some googling and I keep coming up with 7/16-20 which is the same as my twin or even coming up with a 3/8-24?
As Rich said, it is a fine threaded and Briggs recommends Grade 8.
