New to the forum. Need help with a Cub Cadet 1860 with a Kohler Magnum 18 opposed flathead twin. Father-in-law is giving me the thing if I can fix it. The governor shaft will not stay in place. Apparently crankcase pressure blows it out and the governor gear drops into the works. Noticed the engine diagrahm shows a snap ring holding in place but there is no groove for any snap ring. Saw one example where someone cross drilled the shaft in place and tapped in a rolled pin. Any other suggestions. Starting my second rebuild to replace destroyed governor gear. Help!
