Hi EP.
To add to Grinder and Tom,
if you look at the shaft, you will notice several holes in a spiral pattern that sets your pulley into the gears tighter or looser.
Here's what my dad had emphasized to me to do so as to not mess anything up since we hooked up our WD45 to the hammermill to grind feed:
when the pulley is engaged into the gears and with the engine shut off & the foot clutch engaged, you want about 1/8 inch lash(movement) to compensate for the metal expansion when those gears heat up from the workload.
Rotate the shaft to the proper hole that will give you the 1/8" lash.
Also, engage the hand clutch when doing belt work with it.
I don't think the governor ever came off of the wall once the feed grinding commenced until we were done!
A very distinctive sound and you knew that we were grinding feed!
