welcome aboard.............. well if it is a sidewalk unit it could be a SW48,SW54,SW64 you need to measure the width of the machine and see what you have? IF it turns out it is 64 inches wide then you need to check the width of the tracks and see if they are 14 inches or 16.5 if they are 16.5 inches then. it would be called a J5
pictures would be great................
yes, then it is a SW48. good engines the 251 Chrysler just do not over rev them the govenor is there for a reason. above about 3200 rpm they can start poping the head off the valves. and the unleaded fuel does them no good either thet ran best with the leaded. if it has 80-90 in the differential flush it out and use tractor trans-hydraulic.

Question, Mr. Boggie, since you brought it up, is the governor adjustable?
There seems to be a keyhole on the engine side.
I have no issue with it being there and for plowing it's great! But when I cross the road and want to do it fast, the engine cuts out at 2000 RPM.
Last year, when I had the knowledge of a baby with this machine, there was a nut preventing the governor from activating and all was fine.
Now I have the knowledge of a guy who took his machine apart and put it back together and I know better than to put that nut back in the governor to prevent it from working, but, 2000 RPM is kinda low, isn't it?

It is, and as Aulen2002 posted it is descibed in the article how to do it.
they say 3450 rpm max I think it should be 3200

Aulen2002, Boggie, thank you. I've d/l the pictures and will try and sharpen them up so I can read them (32" screens on computers don't display small print very well). 3200 is still a lot more than 2000. Anytime I go over +/-10MPH, I get a "surge" as explained in the book from power wagons (not really the same governor in that book). So a minor adjustment will do good I hope.
