A guy dropped this in my lap to see if I could do anything with it.
3-53 Detroit in a Timberjack skidder.  The shaft is broken.  He gave me a governor that came from another 3-53 for parts, but this one is from a constant speed application and has fewer and different flyweights.  
Question, is the shaft removable from the flyweight carrier or is it brazed?

Going off this manual it looks like the shaft is pressed into the carrier.

Looks to be.  I'll put a little pressure on it in the press tomorrow.

Thanks for the link.

@DANNY1911

Did you just google that manual or do you know where to find one for an 8v71?

Well, it came out.  Hopefully the bore isn't too hosed to grip the new used shaft.
