of the dozen or so Briggs verticals I have worked on they are all 1" straight shaft with an inch long key (not half moon)
The flywheel end on the other hand is always a 1" tapered with short very soft key that is designed to shear when things go wrong (don't ask how I know)
weld a nut into the broken shaft and screw a bolt in and then it will just wind the existing pulley off. I've never seen on seized as they rarely see any moisture - only oil!
July 2010 when we picked up a Norlett from flookburgh
followed by a C-101 in August from Otley
then a raider 10 from Surrey in September
by May the next year I had met @neil who had the most awesome collection even then and saw my first GT14 as well as his suburban and RJ. I think by then we were hooked but had new things in our sights!
I never made it to work! Always wanted to be snowed in. Bored of it now, if only I had a tractor running that would take a plough... we are missing Jakes tractor now it has been sold
I also arrange the Northern Wheel Horse round up, this will be our 5th year. We peaked at 36 Wheel Horses two years ago, but am hoping to beat it this year...
