Exploded governor

So I pulled the timing cover and have conformation that it is the governor that is the issue. When I pulled it back there wasn't much of the governor left really because it all resided in the oil pan. I went ahead and ordered a new governor assembly, front main seal, timing cover gasket and oil pan gasket and will reassemble it when ever it comes in. Anything I should watch out for on assembly?

Carnage from the front view.

Note the only two weights that didn't make the oil pan sitting on the edge.




And whats left of the governor laying in the oil pan.
 
After seeing the bearing bracket in pieces I'd go ahead and install a new filter, I think Napa has them #1010. You may want to piece together the bearing bracket and see how much is missing.Hope you don't have shavings in there.
 
I might be to late for you, but on my TO-35 when the governor exploded the first time I replaced just the governor, the next year when it broke again (yep) I called an old timey massey expert and he told me the worn out cam and crank gears being loose shake the governor to pieces. So I replaced governor, cam and crank gears, that's been years ago and no trouble since.
