Governor question for Dr Allis or any Allis expert

I have a 47 B the governor pivot pin has came out (pic from book attached) how does this pin stay in place? How do I fix this? Thanks

Common issue with those. I took a pair of pliers and gave it a good hard squeeze to knurl it just a bit. Drove it back in and it stays just fine. I've read of guys drilling and pinning it in place. I suppose a thin coat of JB Weld or a Lock Tite would work as well.

And maybe some loctite.

Thank you. So it's just press fit in the
housing?

Press fit, yes. I always take a center punch and lay the stem on its side and hammer several dimples in it to make it look like a golf ball. How many you give it depends on how loose it is!!!! so don't overdo it !! Clean the hole and the stem with brake kleen and air and use plenty of Loctite and let cure for at least overnite.

Thank you. It's pretty loose, I've done the
dimple thing with a punch (we call it
peening) before to keep a bearing race from
turning.
