Ford 4000 4 cyl. gas engine speed control

Curt Cooke · Jun 12, 2014

How is the clamping apparatus on the throttle rod to the governor supposed to control the high speed of the engine. Is that clamp supposed to come in contact with something to prevent one from advancing the throttle any further? I'm not seeing how that is supposed to work.

Governor and throttle linkage adjustment procedures are in the Ford owners manual.

In case you don't have a manual, here's the procedure they give. Should apply to your 4000. -Will

Thanks Will, it's the "stop bracket" that I am lacking.

You should be able to make one easily. If I remember right it bolts to the side of the cylinder head. I am not near my tractor right now or I would attach a photo. -Will

Thanks Will, I figured that there had to be a stop bracket or something but I haven't really seen where such a thing would be attached. A pic would be cool!

(quoted from post at 06:49:47 06/13/14) Thanks Will, it's the "stop bracket" that I am lacking.

Just to clarify a little, it is held by a manifold bolt and is kept from moving by a pin that just sticks into a hole just below that bolt. The pin doesn't thread into the hole.
