Ok: Well the snow has not stopped my puttering on the HG... does anyone have a good source for a new lower governor spring?? This is the spring that is located on the bottom of the governor towards the front of the machine.
I see the Parts Book calls it a Governor Operating Spring Part # 113 213.
Also, was there a provision on the head to accomodate a temperature gauge for the thermo siphon blocks?? My HG has no temperature gauge anywhere? Any recommendations on temp. gauges??
Guess I better start making a list of little things that I can progress during the long north country winter before spring thaw comes. :P
Thanks in Advance for your thoughts!!

Landis Zimmerman has been the only real source of parts for these crawlers that I have found. He is a real nice fellow, easy to talk to , just not cheap.

There is a pipe plug on the left side of the head. The optional original guage was a AC Delco . I would get a Stewart Warner ,they are available at Napa .
