I had refused to replace my 49 8n (front Mount)dist. cap with the broken post until I corrected the cause. So I had to put up with the occasional hiccup under heavy load. I had done everything else I could think of or this board suggested: new plug wire, plugs, cleaned & rebuilt carb, adjusted timing, etc. and still had that hiccup. Last Saturday I pulled the front axle support and axle off and beat the old king pin out (OE I'm guessin') and removed the bushing. Bushing was steel split ring where my replacement from CT is brass, and the old was worn paper thin on one side and broke when removed. Put it all back together with help from my third and fourth hand (lucky man to have a willing helper wife. Didn't have much chance to test it cuz of all the rain until Thursday when I mowed up and down hills with the finish mower. I was half way through before I realized it wasn't popping and chugging going up the hill. The new cap musta fixed it, and the new pin and bushing should keep it from bustin again. Thanks for everyone's advice that I needed before tackling this job. Another satisfied owNer.
