John B.- The mag is not mounted on the tractor yet. The rattling noise I was talking about are the pawls pivoting on the posts unrestricted without springs. That's the way it came. (no springs)
The blue ribbon service manual states (page 54) that the early mags did not have the small springs (that are directly under the pawls). just the pawls. It goes on further to say that the later mags did have the small springs along with counterweights added to the pawls. Like I said before, this mag has no springs but the pawls do have counterweights attached. So I'm still not sure if this setup will work.
Now I have another mag that does (did have, lost one) have the small springs and counterweights, and does not rattle when I pick it up and shake it. The pawls stay put and don't rattle. The distinct sound you're talking about, is that caused by the pawls?
One more questions about those small springs. When the springs are properly mounted and under tension, will they push the pawls out or tuck them in?
